This can be a tough matchup for Yorick, as Darius can often out-tank and out-damage you. Playing cautiously and asking for ganks will be very rewarding in this lane.
Aatrox
Through ghoul-spam, a skilled Yorick can often out poke and out sustain an Aatrox. However, there will not be much kill potential in this lane without a gank.
Cho'Gath
Cho-Gath is the most difficult matchup for Yorick. Not only can he out sustain you, but he will also be tankier and do more damage. If you get stuck with this lane, try to play safe and poke whenever possible.
Dr. Mundo
A fairly easy matchup for Yorick, you can poke Mundo at early levels for free damage and have good kill potential before 6.
Fiora
Like Mundo, you have good kill potential pre-6 and will most likely win lane with some practice.
Gangplank
Watch out for gangplank's high-damage Q's. Other than that, play aggressively when it is down, and poke whenever possible.
Garen
By the end of the game, you will be tankier and do more damage than Garen. You will have good kill potential thoughout laning. Poke whenever possible, to mitigate the healing from his passive.
Gragas
A good lane for Yorick, poke and sustain whenever possible.
Heimerdinger
Extremely difficult lane. Try to avoid poke from his turrets, and do not engage under them.
Irelia
A totally skill-based matchup. Try to poke and out sustain her.
Jax
Jax's weak laning phase allows Yorick to have good kill potential.
Jayce
A good Jayce will out poke you. Try to sustain and avoid it until your jungler can help.
Lee Sin
You will be able to fight lee sin throughout the game, so long as he does not gain a huge advantage on you.
Nasus
Practically a free lane for Yorick. You will be able to easily deny Nasus' farm and be able to kill him throughout the laning phase.
Nidalee
A skill based matchup. Try to avoid her poke and attempt to keep her from proccing her mark.
Rengar
A skill based matchup, try to avoid his damage by blocking his bola with your W and harassing him until he cannot safely engage.
Shyvana
A fairly easy lane for a good Yorick. By poking her down, you can create good kill potential during the whole laning phase.
Tryndamere
Tryndamere has better all-on than you later on. However, you will be able to kill him pre-6 and when his ult is down.
Throughout the teamfight, it is Yorick's job to do as much damage as possible to the enemy carries and peeling for your own. By spamming ghouls and triforce procs, you should be able to quickly remove their adc from the fight. It is then your job to peel for your own adc when they are in danger. This can be done by tanking for them and slowing their pursuers, or by ulting them, giving them a chance to do more damage.
