Yorick gets nerfed :O say whaat?

[quote=utopus]http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/25120-jayce-olaf-karma-not-for-3-10-more-information-on Yep, riot did it. They 'nerfed' the champion that could beat any lane. Now, all top laners will be spared from that damned [[omen of famine]] that made hapless players tear their hair out.

DAT SHOVEL N' SOUL. Thoughts? You guys think he'll still be viable? One of the things i'm a little upset about is that they didn't give yorick an escape mechanism. I think it'd be fair for yorick if RIOT made him less of a lane bully, but gave him an ability that would make it so that he has a chance to live, if he gets caught. He has even less mobility than he did before.[/quote]

[quote=luizdeh][[yorick]] has been getting a TON of rework possibilites. They've been testing, I think, like 4 different kits so far. Those changes are not definitive. Also, he should never ever get an escape. His ghouls should provide peel.[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice]yorick is not getting "nerfed" per se. riot has said that they don't like how yorick is literally a faceroll champ that just spams ghouls and ults the carry. they want to make him more interesting to play as and to play against.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]I suppose. The point i'm trying to make was that there were pros to yorick; he was unbeatable in lane. There were cons to yorick too - he had pretty terrible mobility and was susceptible to early game ganks. I think riot just took away his pros and left him with his crappy mobility. Upon further reflection, i have a new way of looking at yorick though. In a way, i think yorick is even stronger at dueling than he was before Embrace the inevitable is just so strong in both team fights and 1v1 all ins. Because of the synergy it has with his passive, yorick with his ult on and the three ghouls from his passive would take 80% reduced damage, after armor/MR bonuses. With the way ghouls now work with Shovel sweep, he could dish out even more damage than he did before. It's safe to say that his ridiculous self heal has been dealt with, for the most part though. thoughts?[/quote]
