How to beat Yorick?

[quote=MrCuddowls][quote=Lugignaf] [quote=MrCuddowls] Why am i the only person who mentions udyr even though he is a very good pick against him [/quote] Because Udyr will survive, not win. He can't trade at all without running straight up to him and Yorick will kite him way before he does that. Sure Udyr has the shield, but it's not like you're going to have it up all the time. [/quote] But wouldnt you say laning against yorick is more about surviving rather than winning, thatsmwhy cho gath is good, he can sustain well enough to survive[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I would say Cho scales better. Less vulnerable to kiting too. Though I may be a little biased because I don't like Udyr.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]nasus cho and rumble don't counter yorick. early ganks counter yorick, like the 1st poster said. they pick yorick, you should pick xin top and lee sin jungle and make his life miserable.[/quote]

[quote=Werepirelord]On gamescom I asked a Riot member what the counter to Yorick is and he said Renekton. It's true, Renekton really works.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=Werepirelord] On gamescom I asked a Riot member what the counter to Yorick is and he said Renekton. [/quote] For the record, this proves nothing. Riot doesn't know their own game as well as pro players do. Most Rioters aren't very high elo.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd][[decompose]] works on [[yorick]]s minions. HUR DE GURR. Plus with all the slowing/speeding up you do that ridiculous early game trade makes kiting for yorick nearly impossible. Thats the best one i've found so far, although i freaking hate laning against a super aggressive [[singed]] for whatever reason. Idk, i just get out farmed and out sustained in lane (sustain as far as mana goes, not health). He can't *kill* me, but he seems to always scale better into late game if he is a good singed player. But again, that's abut surviving the lane, not winning it. Early ganks are the #1 way to do it, and [[cho'gath]] has just as much sustain, and [[renekton]] doesnt care about yorick's kiting. And i am a fairly firm believer that if you are aggressive enough with [[olaf]] and are REALLY GOOD at landing [[undertow]] you can win ALOT of lanes you shouldn't be able to.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Phreak is the exception as are like...2 other Rioters (I think) to what Psi said. But for the most part they make the game and WATCH/LISTEN to what pros do then they (more often than not) adjust things they see as "too strong". Examples: Rengar's planned (or did they hotfix it already?) AP ratio reduction Janna shield/movespeed nerfs Corki Valkyrie CD Ezreal's Essence Flux base damage/width Graves's Quickdraw/Buckshot/True Grit (not all at once but adjustments that have been made Alistar's Headbutt range. There is more, but ideally Riot simply pays attention to what happens in tournaments and does their best to "re-crunch numbers" in order to provide a more balanced gaming experience.[/quote]

[quote=Vavena]Well I only know like 3 Rioters that are 2k+. But that's it.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]I don't really have a problem with him as Jax, I just take armor seals + 21 ap and 11 ad and outrade him.[/quote]
