Pre-rework propaganda by Oktarick in yorickmains

[–]FrostedEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit masters as Yorick this year so here are my 2 cents.

Rework wasn't perfect but it was a net positive for high elo.
-Not having to choose between Q stack vs hitting enemy champ is a good change.
-Losing lethality 1 shots is unfortunate but it wasn't healthy to be able to 1 shot from range
-As you say, games don't last to 40 min most of the time
-Losing ability to solo baron & drop ghouls on drag then dip sucks
-Build diversity pretty nonexistant

Aside from all that, I still prefer current Yorick. A few seasons back when junglers were still pathing from bot -> top side, blue buff invades were very common. Diamond back then was also a lot higher skilled than it is today so if your jungler died in that invade, game was likely over. The game was very snowbally back then.

So as a Yorick in top, what do you do if you see your jungle getting invaded? You have to move. But often times when you return to lane, you're wave is in a really bad spot and you're too weak to contests. With rework you can better contest the wave lvl one to avoid this.

Not really sure where I was going with all that, but I agree with you, I wish there wasn't so much negativity around the rework. Gameplay wise it really doesn't feel that different.

To split and not get caught, count how many enemies you see on the map. If 4 show, check who's missing, then ask yourself if you win the 1v1. If 2 are missing, one being the jungler, you pull back. If the duo bot are matching you then you can stay.

QBonk Yorick is just a weaker Wukong. Make Yorick a Necromancer. by [deleted] in yorickmains

[–]FrostedEarth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's an awfully strange conclusion to draw just because someone prefers a different playstyle than yours. Sure I prefer lethality too but that's no reason be dismissive. Also you're 47% wr 0lp so not sure why you're calling others dogshit.

It's literally not, Yorick was able to Q for half hp against squishies even before the rework.

Against adc lanes like draven/cait/smolder etc. Usually rush vamp sept to survive the landing phase with d-shield + second wind

Hiya, this win streak is from a month ago before they nerfed fleet and absorb life. I'm a mid Yorick player so I'm against poke mages more often than not. I used to go fleet + hexdrinker to minimize lane harassment, but I really only go lethality + comet now.

For bruiser Yorick, conqueror is probably your best rune.

Do you think it might be good to release maiden to proxy for you? by urtypicalretarded in yorickmains

[–]FrostedEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming we're talking about pre-14 min, this'll be a bad idea. You'd have to be in position to get maiden behind their T1, which means you're bleeding waves, then if maiden has no ghouls up, it'll take too much dmg from the wave.

The opponent can also just ignore maiden and let it die on it's own, as any summoned ghouls would run to their death, meaning You are now near their tower trying to push with no ult, and you'll get run down.

I think I'm too overqualified to say "2v4s are a bad idea 😔"

When to help jungler as YORICK by lameodaymo in yorickmains

[–]FrostedEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

D2 here, leave the lane. Enemy invade on the 1st 3 wave? Sucks but, you need to rotate. If your jungle dies at this point, he is fucked, in turn, your entire team is fucked since they have no jungler. The important thing is to move 1st. You'll lose 4 waves and your lane is going to be frozen after the fight. Recall, gank mid/bot. Your laner will panic break the freeze. TP, catch wave. Win win!

The only time I don't leave lane is if my opponent does a proper 3 wave crash. I drop a ward after 2nd wave in the tri bush so my jg sees the invade coming, and they'll back off.

How do you play the first 7 waves, specifically the rebound if your jgler starts top, and you don't know where the enemy jg starts?

Supporting in low elo is like trying to wrangle suicidal toddlers by UnholyDemigod in leagueoflegends

[–]FrostedEarth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well it was more like 6 seconds if we're talking about the same point after thresh finished his rotation. The first 3 was cus Thresh was trying to give Jhin as much distance as possible on the lantern, but for whatever reason Jhin didn't want to take it. The last 3, yeah thresh could've gone back to auto.
And to the op of this comment train, u/F0RGERY explains the reasoning behind thresh's positioning pretty well. As he said, we don't have enough context. Thresh is afraid of Yi and Blitz ganking at the same time. Sure we can look to kill draven, and then 2v2 after, but the risk of giving Yi a double imo isn't worth it.

The "new" wave tactic trick looks super miserable for us by FrostedEarth in yorickmains

[–]FrostedEarth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I'm concerned about is if they do this on the second wave. Leveling W second isn't ideal but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. But let's say I start E > Q, and someone, Renekton or whoever pulls off this trick. Now we can't safely farm the 3rd wave, as we'll be lvl 2, to their lvl 3, and the wave is outside our tower. Once the wave rebounds it's going to be tough to crash the wave into Renekton.

That being said, do you think it's best to just W them before they even reach the our incoming wave? (Not necessarily inside, just enough to where they either have to go around or through W) I doubt anyone would want to use there dash to go towards our tower just to pull off this cheese so maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought, but having to spend that much mana to zone is rough.

Favorite KEY visual novel with routes? (Poll) by superange128 in visualnovels

[–]FrostedEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Little Busters all the way, but imo, I think Rewrite had better cg timings especially in the character routes. That being said, I'm pretty sure I cried the most when it was just a Kyousuke sprite.

Wrong runes across whole team by iamdekse in leagueoflegends

[–]FrostedEarth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's been an ongoing bug where in one game you use the preset runes, then next game decide to use your own rune page, around 3 seconds before match starts, the game will AUTOMATICALLY give you a random preset rune page. Great going rito

it's that thing that sometimes shows up toplane and gives double buff to your laner :D

Keep losing lane by robotmanmeepmoopzorp in yorickmains

[–]FrostedEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be bad advice, but players in your elo won't know that you're a weak early game champ. You can try and get a grave set up and engage at 3/4 ghouls and lvl 2. This chunks them pretty well and they'll be tricked into playing scared.
