You will almost never beat her, out damage her, or out scale her. If you ever encounter this matchup pray for jungle and all in when R/W is on cooldown.
A forewarning to everyone looking to playing Yorick, he is a buggy champion that gets 0 love from Riot. He is a champion with hard matchups, but once you learn him and get good with him, you will find that he is a rewarding and strong champion.
I've been playing Yorick for the past few months, and although my play time on the character isn't in the thousands, it is still quite enough to know what works well with Yorick and what just doesn't work well anymore.
You may be wondering, why Omnistone? Well, the reason for Omnistone is that it synergizes well with Yoricks kit with Approach Velocity and Biscuit Delivery allowing him much more kill potential and lain sustain. Magical footwear allows you to rush first item faster, and then Demolish and Bone plating allows better favored trades and strong split pushing.
And now, the best reason for Omistone, it allows you to have access to the best combat runes, catching runes, and escape runes at a moments notice. Being able to combo your Mouring Mist and Cage into Lethal Tempo or Hail of Blades allows fast kills and trades into champions with strong engage and dueling potential.
This guide will teach you why items, build paths, and combos synergize, and will show you what to do in the easiest, and the hardest fights for Yorick.
