Matchups, Top, Yorick

- heals like crazy. Dodge and you'll be fine. You would need to kill him by yourself.

- always, does stupid amounts of damage and heals through everything, except when I play him. You can kill him at level 2 if you have .

- You can kill him in mini-gnar form once you get a . Before that dodge his as much as you can. Tricky ones will auto a minion and then move towards it and then auto it again as they get closer and then they will toss Boomerang Throw out in order to get their third proc and get you at the same time if you are in range. Matchup would be easier with .

See a trend? burns through a **** ton of mana in order to harass his opponents and generally goes to help support spamming. it strongest when he has as many ghouls out as possible. So that sort of necessitates the use of . You go back and buy your tear as early as possible to start stacking it and to keep up the ghoul spamming.

But without jungler help you are not going to get ahead in a lot of matchups unless you are running Ignite. However if you do get rolling, you are a beast that is difficult for the enemy team to deal with. But there are even better champs in that category such as or .

I've just dusted him off after not playing him for a bit. He is kind of my, oh I am top, how can I best annoy the **** out of my lane opponent pick?.

I've never actually built on him that I can recall though in theory it has potential. Just think it costs too damn much. would be good. May try building that as a first or second armor item to even more thoroughly annoy the **** out of my opponents.

I think I don't play Top lane at a high enough level to find it excessively nasty. Though I have run into two sets of Jungler + duos that were hugely annoying. + whatever the jungler can dish out is indeed ebola.

is good on as you can easily proc it with an AA + Q + AA combo and it gives you a welcome bit of burst when it does proc during a trade.

is a good start in most lanes.

- start into into . You should win this match-up until they get their second damage item. After that you will probably want help when dealing with them unless you are considerably ahead. The main thing to worry about is getting stunned when their jungler is ganking. If you can avoid that an aren't too far from you turret you should be fine.

- If you can dodge his harass you will do okay. If you can't the lane is going to be hard. If you are low when you both hit 6th level he can kill you even if you've built some armor. If he doesn't get too fed off of your or other lanes he'll probably mostly ignore you as you will be too tanky for him to deal with quickly. I went into on this match-up and I think if I had to do it again I might go into as the while you are farming and trading the health and movement speed you get from Phage's passive can help with dodging his harass. Thinking I might sit on the Phage and go into a Dead Man's Plate after that, especially if their jungler is AD.

The thing with Zed is that you have to keep track of his shadows.

He can create shadows with W, , and with R, . They mimic what Zed does so if he casts while he has a shadow active it will also cast Razer Shuriken. If you get hit by both of him, he gets energy back and you also take additional damage. So a lot of Zed's will fish with a shadow, hope you forget about it and then when you accidentally walk on top of it they will nail you with a or Razer Shuriken. So you need to keep an eye on both the shadow and Zed.

Zed is hard to gank because of the mobility his s give him. Pre-6th, you want to try and bait out his shadow or have your jungler wait until he uses it for harass in order to initiate the gank. Post 6th you have to keep track of both shadows and guess which one he is going to dash to and keep in mind that he can dash to them sequentially as long as both are still up.

Some Zeds that feel they are in danger of dying will ult you and continue to harass you in order to either kill you get you to back off. They will then dash back to their ult shadow and then use their W to put some distance between you and them.

So he is sort of like a quarterback that can throw or run. You keep your wits about you and be prepared for either.

Went up against a better Cho'Gath and this is what I found.

v with a . He will outsustain and outpush you. You can't kill him without help. Ask for a jungle camp if he is pushing hard and if your jungler brings enough damage. If your jungler doesn't have a significant amount of crowd control or damage then you are probably just going to have to minimize your losses.

If Cho goes the lane is a little easier because he is probably going to run out of mana much more quickly, but you are still unlikely to be able to kill him without help.

vs - depends on the kitty. You have to respect that he can do a boat load of damage quickly. If he is trying to jump on you from the bushes you can get vision on and harass him by dropping an Omen of Pestilence ghoul in to visit him. But he doesn't use mana and has a decent amount of sustain with his empowered . Tear into Dead Man's Plate to absorb his initial burst. Just be prepared to kite him around/don't commit to a full on fight when he has all 5 stacks of ferocity and you should be fine.

- harass her when her shield is down. Respect the fact that she can jump on you from a long way off between her dash, a triple Q, and flash. Tear into Deadman's Plate. If you get ahead you've won the lane as she will only be able to all-in and kill you if you really mess up. Oh some Riven's are much better than others. So play with appropriate caution if you see them shielding everything you throw at them, animation canceling, smooth wall jumping, and successful attempts at cheese from the bushes.

- you need to bait out . Once that is down, use one ability on him to try and get him to use his . If you get both down you have a window to really lay into him. Careful when you have him pushed to his tower, because he can really screw you up with . Also if he has active his s will apply a slow and you will end up taking some guaranteed damage if he has hit you with Noxian Corrosive Charge. It is basically a poke lane, except he can shield you poke and you can heal up from his poke, but you do okay as long and you don't eat too many Acid Hunters.

Tried a game with since I haven't really had much success with ganks with (more on that below). I was up against a . Yas has an advantage on you until level 3, when you can start sustaining and trading roughly equally using all three abilities. Start and two health and two mana pots. Or you can go 1 health pot and 3 mana pots. Work your way into an early after you build for mana sustain and to get it stacking so you can survive his all-ins and work on poking him down.

Try and freeze the wave just outside of your tower. This gives him less lane to work with. His maneuverability isn't the greatest problem for because slows him down, but with a minion wave at his disposal he can use to dash around and hit you with his whirlwind from unexpected angles.

Early aren't a bad buy as they can help you outmaneuver his whirlwind and it makes your ghouls faster.

As far as I can tell doesn't stop your ghouls from spawning so you can get at Yasuo with all of your abilities.

After Yas gets a he can kill you even if you have a Dead Man's Plate if he gets on you. Your best bet is to keep as many ghouls up as possible for the damage reduction and increased damage from .

vs - You have a chance of killing a lot of laners if you go Ignite over TP. Your kit does an unexpected amount of damage, because a lot of it is hidden in your AA+Q+AA combo. You also have the tools one of which is a significant slow to keep them in range while your ghouls and do work. However, against AD opponents that can push quickly your turret is likely to get chunked rather quickly every time you go back.

So far I haven't had a lot of success with Teleport ganks with . Part of this is just the games I've played. Part of it is that the range on Yorick's ranged abilities are pretty short and the other part is that he doesn't have a gap closer.

Yorick feels powerful when he is ahead and can spam his abilities at will so he can tank, damage, and chase targets down. is one way to get there faster if you play your cards right, so for now I am going to try going Ignite and see how that works.

- he will run off and go farm their jungle as he isn't playing league in lane with a opposing him. However, you won't be able to kill him by yourself without . He won't be able to kill you until really late game though he will probably hurt when he crits. Not to worry as his health pool won't hold out. Just make sure you don't get low without being near a tower and then if you don't have Ignite you can play ring around the tower until it kills him for you. Ideally let him push you in and overextend and then have your jungler come up and gank if they have some CC. With your slow and your junghlers CC he won't be able to get away and you will be able to kill him once his ultimate wears off.

If you push him in you can harass him off his tower, but make sure to ward to avoid getting ganked while doing this because if he uses on you while you have your back turned to him (pretty common when you are moving in to harass and the moving out of turret range) you will be slowed making the gank much easier.

If you get ganked you need to decide if you should instantly or stick around long enough to smack a ganker or a minion with a Q for the speed boost and the fact that it allows you to avoid unit collusion. If it won't make you out of mana also get as many ghouls down on your attackers as you can as it reduces the damage you take due to your passive, . If you think you can 2v1 them then pop for your 4th ghoul and direct it to attack your attackers.

I like to call 's ghouls the Three Derpsters. Because quite often they spawn and just float in place looking ghoulish and not doing anything. Then they are like oh yeah, I am supposed to be trying to eat brains. Then they zoom off after whatever they have decided is their target, with a second or so of their duration used up. Derp.

Rito the ghouls aren't Teemo shrooms with an activation period, update ghoul AI and targeting por favor.

For more context I've been using InvertedComposer's build.

InvertedComposer's Yorick Guide

But it looks like the highest Yorick win rate build on chapmion.gg has the build going first and then into , which is a far more offensive build order, so I may give that a whirl if I continue to try and figure out the Gravedigger.
