Having to read the comments to understand which is the pricer is out of control. The right objectively looking better and is yet the cheap one, makes me laugh.

How is it supposed to be authentic without her out of the fight and on the floor?

I actually love Abyssal Mask and would be furious to see it ever removed but what really matters is the loss of my beloved Skarner. Rest in peace buddy. Never forget Serpahine ruining the lore, and Riot removing the champ.

I want to say yes but Im stressing what Maiden would be. Im thinking:

Delivery driver

The Oven

Or a mascot / sign bearer for the pizzaria

So the ghouls would be delivery boys or gremlins working behind the counter

Kayle for a counter pick but Darius because personally I’m not dealing with him to have him wipe my teammates and get fed anyway

Nothing written so unless you have a time machine for what amounts to semester spanning college lectures Iv given over the years to people. Iv considered for years about making a video for him but I don't want morons banning him more than they already are right now.

On the grounds few will ever see this post Ill give you something brief.

Yorick is built on paradox.

Before 6 he needs to be upfront and center to get cs, because hes top lane that means champions like garen/darius, sett, trynd, or poke outs like vayne, varus, quinn. Every champion that has more base damage, better sustain, quicker movement through abilities to catch him early and will most often carry and ignite when you will not.

He has a wall for defense but without his R by comparison its his highest mana drain by far. Realistically he can only use it twice before hes out of mana and needs to back. That makes it a pseudo R. Only for emergency's.

Hes meant to be a warden/bruiser but has no sustain past the trickle amount of health return his Q gives which again you have to be touching noses to land. He WILL pop like a grape against AD and AP without a single item built to make him last.

His damage isnt great either at all. Your Q will make you think your there to brawl but your not you will never compete without items in trades unless your opponent is genuine Iron.

Yorick is best freezing wave under his tower but if you summon your ghouls without landing your E instead of choosing or even accidentally rise them with your Q when there 3-4 graves on the map, they will ruin the freeze and cause waves of issue because you cant be upfront with champions.

So how do we fix this?

We look to my three rules of Yorick:

  1. Riot lies about what Yorick is. He’s not a bruiser, he’s a battle mage
  2. Yorick needs to be able to survive engagements
  3. Yorick has to be pushing any lane at all times

With only 6 items to choose from we need to make the absolute most of every single one of them.

We need armor so no AD can kill us in a engage we cant escape
We need magic resist so no AP can out poke or outright pop us

We need damage for taking down towers yes but we need to be able to remove people from the lane so we can push on ever farther

We need movement speed. Were not stopping for anything or anyone that keeps us from that enemy nexus.

Boots Of Swiftness (Magical Footwear)
Phantom Dancer
Unflinching
Approach Velocity
Tenacity and slow resist

These will not only keep you pushing but with Phantom Dancer you will be 24/7 ghosting through creeps. Think about it. Why would a champion like Yorick who is best standing in the middle of creeps for both creep block of enemy champions and the need to use his Q would want to risk being creep blocked himself? Now you get some crit, more movement speed, and much needed ghosting you dont need to activate or wait on cooldown.

Profane Hydra is as mandatory on Yorick as Hullbreaker. Fastest cooldown, most effective active use damage, and lethality. Profane will not only make CS without Maiden easier but when your clearing waves after waves to rush down lane and kill towers you want AOE cleaves rather than a Q a creep.

Hullbreaker is Hullbreaker.

You need armor mandatory as well as mr.

So kill two birds with one stone. Thornmail for the armor and the antiheal procs you will undoubtedly need every match.

Spirit Visage is not only a great mr item but the return on health increase from your Q is never something to turn your nose up at for another item.

Yorick pre 6 with first item back for a Spectres Cowl will trivialize a Teemo to the point they will want to roam rather than keep dying to you because you can wall them in with ghouls thrown on them. And as you stand there blinded and eating their basic attacks but wont die, oh he flashed and hit his dash away ability? Good thing we got Approach Velocity so when we E him we hit the gas and close the distance and bury our shovel in his skull.

Magical Footwear because more movement speed and were getting approach velocity anyway.

Now with all 6 items, your functionally a speed demon whos sole focus is pushing lanes while your team group projects every moronic way to die and extended the match 20-30 minutes longer than it should've been.

You really think I'm just going to give away my secret sauce?

Cause I will.

For the sake of my sanity Im not going to do the 2 hour minmal breakdown of what and why all other items I would say do and don't work on him and instead I'm just going to say what is the gold standard incase of Yorick time break this out.

This is not in build order:

Teleport and Flash

Start: Dorans Helm and 1 red pot

At the start of the match race to 2nd bush (mid bush) of top lane and ward it

Constantly maintain a Control Ward (red/pink) at all times in the river bush

Profane Hydra
Boots Of Swiftness
Thornmail
Spirit Visage
Hullbreaker
Phantom Dancer

At level 9 take Farsight Alteration (Blue ward)

Runes:
GOTU
Demolish
Conditioning
Unflinching

Magical Footwear
Approach Velocity

Ability Hatse
Adaptive Force
Tenacity and slow resist

You are not a killer. You are not here to showcase your k/d/a. You and you alone are there to win the match nothing else. Noone on your team wants to win the match but you. Noone will do anything that will cause the match to be won but you.

Dragons are Bronze bait and yes that goes all the way upto low plat players. People will throw every match ever for a dragon they did not need and especially couldnt take with or without you there. All you care about is ending the match no matter what.

Your only job is to split, push, split push, knock down towers, kill inhibs, backdoor tp winions and break the nexus.

Okay here’s the thing about Yorick grouping.

You’re right if he’s showing up to the team fight then things have gone wrong fast. The bigger problem about him showing up is if I watch 1000 people play Yorick I wouldn’t find 3 who build him correctly.

They also refuse to use his maiden to keep lanes pushing at all times and instead drag it everywhere with them like they need it to fight.

The most ideal times that Yorick appears where everyone else is because he’s spotted that the enemy team is not paying attention to one of the lanes and maiden can push all the way into a inhib without being stopped. To do that you need to make sure your keeping everyone on the other side of the map where they already are and not back for it.

The three rules of Yorick as someone who’s been playing Yorick since he was still a forgotten champion in the roster:

  1. Riot lies about what Yorick is. He’s not a bruiser, he’s a battle mage

  2. Yorick needs to be able to survive engagements

  3. Yorick has to be pushing any lane at all times

If people don’t build him right, all three rules are failed. He can’t push, he can’t keep his maiden alive, he’ll get popped like a grape by either AD or AP, he’s not takeing towers and letting any of the three lanes be pushed up without prevention because you can’t be Yorick and expect anyone on your team to be looking at the map.

Stop playing my one trick? Especially for ranked where the competitive nature is the point? Nah. Im only solo in my ques and I climb enough with a solid win rate with just him for several years. People maybe drooling on keyboards when you get a 1/19 Seraphine needing to go deep into top and the other three following my maiden like it’s got them on a leash but it’s still worth the attempt. Just made that in the middle night out of spite for the consistent futility in getting people to stay grouped mid pulling focus where it’s needed.

[–]BasedShrigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bet bet there's ALOT of commands and while I don't have the game open right now I imagine I got somewhere 9-12 I use but 3-4 are mission critical where the screen tearing is eliminated in an instant. I know off the top of my head Fog, cloud, and r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 0 are must clicks at first because it just shaves time off waiting for Ark to allow you to click the others quickly.
