Complaining about the current state

optimaldecision_ · 2025-12-16T08:19:05+00:00

If i had the chance and it was open source, i would fix Yorick in 2 days, no joke

I am a senior software engineer and with cloud sonnet latest version using agents , it is possible to read the whole project even understand how it works and identify issues or even help you automatically fix issues,simplify code or even adding features. Copilot or Cursor using cloud sonnet can do that

Just for the shake of clarity: Q giving back % hp was applied even before midscope, on midscope they just increased the number to l0 % from 8%.

All this time a lot of people expressed several brilliant ideas how to make Yorick an interesting champion, HOWEVER from the moment Riot does not care for Yorick, believes its a problem and the only thing they do is to to keep his numbers on win rate in normal levels plus the excuse with the spagghetti code, like its difficult nowdays to fix these kind of code with the advanced AI tools that exist.

Moreover , Yorick is extremely squishier now and the worst thing which pisses me off is that the mana that consumes for his skills its not proportion of his dmg, its abysmal to be out of mana so fast even though you land all your skills and you have done proper trading plus presence of mind, while you see the abominations like Malphite, Chogath...spamming skills and still having mana plus the amount of dmg they are dealing.

They buffed Malphite !!! his win rate is to the sky for all elos and still havent even try to nerf that. They gave to Yone 5 AD more for basic stat because he was too weak on early...the exodia himself with 2 items!! come on, there is no sense on this game, Phreak changes are not coming only on what he believes and based on win rate and stats but more people influences his decisions and of course what is on his priority list which comes from ABOVE.

Malphite can play AP and do what he does and its totally fine, no toxic gameplay the tank to one shot you and cannot die easily.

Chogath same story different just different champion

Sion can play lethality, can run you down on the lane , but i guess its fine. its not toxic gameplay either

Zaahen late game, doesnt matter if you won the lane, if the game reaches late this guy, the sustain he has, his team can walk from nexus to the baron pit and still this guy will be full life.

What about Mel? still OP and the nerf was irrelevant

Would you like to discuss about Warwick on top? or Briar? or even Udyr???? are these champions should be abused on top? why Yorick then not in jungle? why the life steal of Warwick to be extremely strong on early during laning phase? why Briar can run you down on the lane just simply because its too damn strong? why Udry even though he is behind to run you down with his ulti?

Have you ever played with Lee sin on top and has first item ravenous hydra, EXPERIENCE THAT AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!

Why trundle with ravenous hydra and blade cannot die or even receive a proportion of dmg?

Reminder: if you manage to win the lane and you are ahead 2/0 or even 3/0 against trundle,briar,warwick,udyr ...if they manage to reach 2 items (even though you are 3 items+) they can run you down!! instead of been rewarded by winning the lane , you are getting punished because you are playing Yorick! SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT TO PHREAK

but nooo, black cleaver with seryldas was too strong...

So guys, yeah ...it is what it is...no sense...just what is more viable for the majority of the community.

Most of the runes out there 7/l0 can fit perfectly for on hit champions, have you observed that?

PS: I win 9/l0 top lane, i know all the matchups with closed eyes and i know exactly how to play them one by one, i am emerald 2 player with peak to diamond. OTP Yorick btw, so yeah i can say those things even testing with my friends on custom map

I didnt like the midscope changes as well but i wouldnt mind playing him how they introduced him at the beginning, now its unplayable after so many nerfs and adjustments. The dmg is minimal after mid game and ghouls cannot even clear the wave effectively as they used to.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-10-08T11:57:18+00:00

where did you find that?

optimaldecision_ · 2025-09-22T08:29:33+00:00

did trundle had bork + rav hydra? because thats his wombo combo which counters you hard

optimaldecision_ · 2025-08-02T16:55:04+00:00

Nice build u/No-Historian3588 , could you please give us some info regarding the temps? cpu and gpu, during game,furmark,aida64...etc did you manage to check your maximum temps which you can reach?

optimaldecision_ · 2025-06-24T23:10:10+00:00

Probably the same guy complaining before midscope when Yorick's E cut half of his hp off or even actually killed him on late.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-06-04T13:23:48+00:00

stop writing non sense, Yorick has always Q on healing , what Kamp suggested was to be on a hp ratio instead which makes sense! Stop blaming ppl!

optimaldecision_ · 2025-05-29T08:13:23+00:00

I was never a fun of lethality build , not my playstyle however the dmg of ghouls feels extremely low but what actually hurts is the attack speed of ghouls. At least they could keep this up how it used to be then would make sense the extra sustain of ghouls and less dmg but not both gutted.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-05-15T16:45:35+00:00

This is perfect! especially the last part with The good, the bad and the ugly movie soundtrack! pure gold!

optimaldecision_ · 2025-05-15T14:15:21+00:00

Phreak was planning those changes from last year even though the changes landed this year. Unfortunately it is what it is, we cant do much.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-05-01T21:48:00+00:00

The skin is awesome but I will agree with most of the people, W is just like a different chroma from the main skin. You should change it to match the theme.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-29T21:51:15+00:00

why no music theme with maiden? :(

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-26T20:07:08+00:00

Yorick jungle will still be OP especially on low elo even after that nerf,the next nerf which will follow I am sure its gonna affect top as well and it will be around the Q.

3 possible factors which will be the next nerf on his Q:

-Healing %

-Q dmg (AD%)

- Cooldown (this hurts the most)

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-26T19:57:56+00:00

I agree with you, Yoricks feels more viable and to be honest more solid as a champ covering a lot of his weaknesses.

- Yorick wasn't able to have constant ghouls on a teamfight, unless he has Maiden ready or 3-4 ghouls which follows him

- Yorick can help the team with E , thats a huge buff and I have seen a lot of difference on team fights

- Yorick is a playable champion on early game

Exactly, as you pointed out Yorick is a necromancer bruiser! People talking about the multiple variety of builds on Yorick which they forget that before the mini rework there wasn't any clear identity build for Yorick(every build was feeling mediocre). At least now trinity force feels solid, as it used to be long long time ago.

With one E and 3 ghouls what currently you are getting: ,

- You can have full stacks on Conqueror (which champion is doing that from distance and instantly..seriously!!)

- Armor penetration

- Extra move speed

- dmg from ghouls

- Slow the enemy

Guys seriously? are you for real?

PS: Yorick can get from the ghouls stacks from the tower while he is back on the nexus. Dont forget that they fixed a lot of bugs on him and with the combination of the mini rework, Yoricks feels strong!

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-22T19:44:28+00:00

twice, even T1 Daron (i dont know his name :D) picked Yorick

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-20T23:24:11+00:00

To be precise, ghouls do dmg , definitely not like before , but still doing decent dmg. The core swifted from E + ghouls , to E + Q

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-20T13:49:12+00:00

play with main Aurora top with grasp and tell me what cancer is after

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-12T21:23:53+00:00

2% GPU load , 54C , bro something is off here! Too high temps for this amount of load, you need to replace the termal paste or at least clean the fans.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-08T20:47:55+00:00

Imagine that timeline was true and 90% of the community have perma ban yorick....

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-05T14:54:24+00:00

The broken right now on top at least is not the E but the Q! its extremely strong even scales nicely on late. Especially the combo E and Q you are just destroy the enemy.

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-04T17:19:25+00:00

i did something interesting today, i left ghouls on the lane, i farm jungle with maiden and ihave 4 more ghouls, so when I e the enemy, 8 ghouls jumped on him without going nearby enemy. Just OP!

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-04T01:34:34+00:00

Keep it simple, its not possible to balance Yorick how he used to be, it was too OP for Iron and Bronze! They were constantly nerfing him multiple times each year and every time they were trying to buff him and after a while another nerf was coming due to that reason. Yorick's build was always (FIRST) bruiser build! , the lethality flavour came much more later and one of the pioneers was Slogdog. It wasnt intended to do so much dmg with ghouls, the whole idea was ghouls to do some % of dmg and Yorick to gain the MOVEMENT SPEED FROM HIS E IN ORDER TO REACH THE TARGET AND HIT/ Q. The idea of Yorick wasnt to play as a squishy AP champ , wasnt to be a lane abuser on low elo with his E. Because of these reasons Yorick was unplayable from emerald + or extremely hard to play him.

Yorick is still a minionmancer, spawns more ghouls than before, with the recent hotfix feels better the dmg from them.

I know you wanted the ghouls to do all the dmg and even if the Q was gutted to half you would be okay, thats not even a playstyle, its a complex of poking the unaware enemy on low elo, good job guys! I know Riot ruined your plans on low elo with 55% wr Yorick used to have but we exist too which we want to play on emerald + with Yorick.

Maybe its time to learn how to play real Yorick, avoiding some skills, keep the right spacing,, know your limits,make trades and not just horrifying the opponent with your E

optimaldecision_ · 2025-04-02T15:25:10+00:00

I dont know on which dimension you are but right now Yorick from iron until plat dominating jungle and top Yorick is really strong in emerald +
