Yorick Theorycrafting

[quote=BusDriver210]Yorick's potential to support bottom is enormous. I have only played it a few times, but I plan on diving into it a bit more. Anyone against Philo + HoG start leading into CDR/Tank? Let me know what you think about it.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yeap, that's right. Philo hog into whatever you want, Aegis, Spirit Visage? Glacial Shroud? Shurelya's, Frozen heart? Soul Shroud. Things like that.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]I wouldn't go soul shroud, but I definitely agree with glacial shroud. Crown is awesome since it increases your already amazing chase potential. I enjoy aegis, but you might need something more bulky to survive.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]You are the support after all. Your team should have a tank and you need to be in the back so you can get your ult off on a champion who needs it and not wasting it on yourself.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]TELE-REVIVE YORICK. NUFF SAID. looool. Yorick counters AP at mid, but a bit worse than Talon does. Nasty solo-top, and haven't tried out support yet. In theory, support Yorick would need tons of mana though... I like [[Manamune]], [[Mercury's Treads]], [[Spirit Visage]], [[Frozen Heart]], [[Trinity Force]],and [[Atma's Impaler]]. Very stable build with decent resists along with his OP as fuck passive makes the game fun. :)[/quote]

[quote=Cervance]I've played as Ashe with a support Yorick bottom. Very enjoyable. He did all the work for me, I got farmed, and when the jungle came to gank, he just ulted and two Ashes laid down some hurt. I remember when his ult had 100% damage and Vayne wasn't nerfed yet. Those were some fun times.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Hmmmmmm looks like Support Yorick may yet reap havoc in League >:) We'll see ;p[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]How would you fix Yorick's mana problems in lane though? Chalice? Or just simply not spamming?[/quote]

[quote=Cervance]Mana/reg seals help greatly. With a philo you can spam all you need. The old Yorick had mana problems. New one definitely does not. If you're careful and don't both run out of mana and health, you can deal with it. Yorick actually carries Stark's Fervor quite well, unlike most other supports. Just another thing to add.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]Good idea with [[stark's fervor]] i'll have to try it out sometime. Works amazing with any AD carry that needs farm bottom. He dominates most lanes with medium harassment. [[Philosopher's stone]] should be enough to fix his mana problems. I run [[Greater Seal of Replenishment]] which makes him impossible to outlane. Grabbing gold per items is important because he has very item dependent damage. [[Philosopher's stone]] and [[Heart of gold]] are great choices to rush.[/quote]
