Yorick Theorycrafting

[quote=caucheka]i own yorick but i use him as a solo top farmer. i cant tell you how many times i felt like i was behind a 2v1 at top and had one successful gank turn it completely around.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]thank you colorfulism for saying what has already been said in this thread :P[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Using that build I'd rather have FoN instead of a BV regardless :P And yeah cau, I think in terms of popular consensus he is simply a solo top lane farmer. I just suspect he'd be an excellent investment as a support. I think his impact end game would be worth perhaps a -slightly- weaker early game, because his ult is quite frankly a game winner, and is entirely gear independent. Then you'd have some other champion like Cho, Akali, or whoever you prefer in your top lane getting that farm. Can you imagine solo lane Akali with Yorick ult behind her? :P She'd burst down 2-3 champs I bet you when all is said an done with Yorick ult. She would die after but who cares, winning fights is opie~[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I'd say he's worse than GP at supporting and GP is already a very niche support.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I'd disagree. His slow is the only skill of his with any utility in regards to actually supporting, but his ultimate is good enough late game to entirely make up for it. Guarantee that support Yorick end game is higher impact than Taric end game.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]what? i dont really think that one spell is enough for him to be a better support than taric, considering its just a wonky child of morde and zils ults.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]It's his best skill and it's completely gear independent. You'd have to be planning for it though, this isn't a solo queue idea. Premades only of course. For his gear I'd probably just build shurelya's, a tear, aegis, soul shroud, tanky supporty things.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]think about the combo [[caitlyn]]+[[yorick]] at tower pushing. Uhh....[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]First you just zone anything and everything without breaking the tower. You want to trap them with you so you don't want to break the tower prematurely. Cait would have to buy 1-2 HP pots each base but the lane strength would be substantial and the poke would be disgusting. Then whenever you want to, once you've denied enough farm and farmed enough yourself, you just break the tower for free.[/quote]
