Support Yorick too Strong?

[quote=Nighthawk]Duff clearly wins the fight. Though i'm pretty sure Searz would have blond hair if he was a girl...[/quote]

[quote=Searz]So people see me as a blonde, eh? Interesting.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Guys have hair colors too! Don't discriminate![/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]So I've been running support Yorick with a buddy of mine lately. Played two games yesterday and they turned out very well. Both games were against a Soraka/AD Carry bottom and honestly she couldn't keep up with me. Granted these aren't pros were talking about, but I mean jesus it is hard to lane against Yorick. I don't even have to farm. I just sit in the brush and make your life hell while my Urgot gets free farm. This is what I've been running. [list] [*][[Faerie charm]] + x3[[sight ward]] + x2[[health potion]] [color=orange][b]START[/b][/color] [*][[Philosopher's Stone]] [*][[Heart of Gold]] [*][[Mercury's Treads]] or [[Ionian Boots of Lucidity]] [*][[Trinity force]]???? (I honestly never have completed this item before surrender at 20ty)[/list] For runes I use [[Greater Mark of Strength]], [[Greater Seal of Resilience]], [[Greater Glyph of Warding]], and [[Greater Quintessence of Strength]]. Flat AD runes are amazing because they buff your damage as well as sustain. I'm debating on mana regen seals, but besides that I think i'm set. After around 15minutes usually we have won the lane which opens up time for me to farm. Farming is quick and easy for Yorick, sometimes I even counter jungle. I think the true weakness to support Yorick is running into a Alistar//Taric. A support with more disrupting power seems to be more problematic than just a healer. Its still a stressful lane, but I'd like to try some harder match ups. Any ideas/comments?[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Just get some Mana + CDR. Spam Ghouls -> Winning. Nothing else to add, Gp5 works fine since Yorick rocks early anyway and you can upgrade it into heavy tank + some AD/TF. I could easily imagine seeing this go competetive, if your team isnt needing a healer. I hope it will, cause the nerf hammer will only fall faster that way...[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Played another game. Just go tanky aura support like alistar and everything works well.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Ye ofc. Since his ult is 100% gear independent, CDR and aura tank items are excellent. Shurelya's is amazing too, Randuin's, FH, Aegis, Whatever you please ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]Elementz used support yorick some time ago at some qualifiers. It was with vayne bot so they didn't need zil mid. Support/aura items, and a tri-force is probably the name of the game when playing yorick.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]You won't get to Triforce if you support, which is fine.[/quote]
