Introduction
To be fair, i have only played pre rework Yorick a handful of times, but with the new rework I find Yorick to be a Tier 1 Top Laner when played properly to his maximum potential. With over 200k Mastery on the new Yorick, he is easily gave me a 61% Win rate over 200 games, definitely a champ worth picking up if you want to main top lane :)
Pros / Cons
Pros
- WTF Why does a tank do this much damage.
- If you get ganked then it is a free double kill.
- One of the few champions which destroy Darius and Teemo.
- Shred through hypertanks.
- You have a cage which will force a flash most of the time.
- Super strong early and mid game.
- With ult and rift herald you are one of the best split pushers.
- Nobody has a clue what your champion does.
- You are playing a unique "non meta" champion.
- Easy to pick up.
- Freelo.
Cons
- You have no escape ability.
- You fall off late game, damage wise.
- Once behind, you stay behind.
Farming
Always stack your Q to 3 or 4 graves before going in to fight. Never ever engage if you have no graves as you will lose the fight. If you get engaged on, and have no graves, take the harass and backoff as fighting will make you lose more HP. You cannot farm under tower unless you have +20 Attack damage. You can freeze the lane by using your W on the creeps. There is no point freezing if you have ghouls up as it is auto pushing it for you.
The level 3 All in
Split pushing
TP allows you to teleport in to a teamfight to help the others (It also reduces the chance of somebody spamming missing signals on you)
ULT lets you win a 2v1 if the jungler or mid decides to help top. Remember to place your ULT behind the target to reduce AOE effects hitting it.
There is no point split pushing against a Tryndamere or champion with fast wave clear, group with your team instead.
