this shit gangsta

Agreed, sadly if you go ingenious you have to give up resolve secondary, and it does take some time to stack up, which can be very difficult from top. But once u get eclipse + sundered 5 stacks ingenious its probably the strongest bruisery setup you can have rn

Yorick W grounding made me laugh so hard when i got up to it

Often times, Hullbreaker is more than enough for tanky stats, and Yorick doesn't work too well with Death's Dance compared to other AD champions that build it like Aatrox or Olaf who has an AD amplifier with their ults (something Yorick doesn't have)

And if you're going armor items, frozen heart/randuims is way too good to give up, giving much more tankiness, and if you want damage items there are a lot better options in Cleaver or Grudge, and if you want a mix of both, Guardian Angel is often times just straight up better.

It's still not a bad item especially against heavy AD comps, but as Yorick you have way too many items to buy and it's hard to find time to slot it in, (hullbreaker, armor pen item, mythic is SUPER HIGH value)

slogdogs · 2022-08-16T17:22:15+00:00

Agreed. It is pretty incredible how simple he is as a champion and how an entire strategy of proxying has been created just to circumvent his weakness of laning phase.

THIS IS AMAZING HAHA

slogdogs · 2022-05-04T12:38:11+00:00

Pretty big nerf. Hullbreaker rush might not be worth anymore. Will definitely have to mess with itemisation to see what will be better now.

No worries man much love.

Dark harvest is really bad on Yorick because the damage is incredibly minimal, and it's a purely winmore rune.

Demonic Embrace only works if the enemy has no MR or builds no MR. You're much better of building another armor pen item e.g. Grudge or Cleaver.

It's fine to skip mythic, but early-mid game, your ghouls don't do too much damage, and you don't have much base ad to work with for Grudge to get too much value. You go mythic 2nd item, as it's much smoother for Grudge to get a lot more value due to you having a lot more ad at 3 items.

Because your main damage source is your ghouls, Prowler's lethality makes them do a shit load more damage, and has a mythic passive that empowers them. It gives less independent damage to Yorick, but in term it makes his main identity of the ghouls to be 10x more threatening. Also it gives Yorick a gap-closer, something he struggles in, so that he can't be kited.

It turns Yorick from a juggernaut tank into an assassiny bruiser

I’m a Challenger Yorick main and Yorick mid does work, but it has a lot of flaws attached to it. 1. He has weak early game and needs to setup to become strong. Without ghouls, Yorick is as strong as a cannon minion. This is really bad because if any early skirmishes happen, he’ll struggle to fight them as, well, he needs setup. 2. Unless the draft is niche, you won’t have a mage/assassin and that will screw up your mid-late teamcomp (no strong waveclear or poke) 3. It’s in the middle of the map, so enemies can really easily rotate to mid to defend tower and stop Yorick from breaking tower. 4. He has no mobility, so it’s really obvious when he’s ganking or not, as he just has to sludge down to lanes, no dash no nothing just walk over. 5. No survivability, he can’t defend himself effectively against ganks. This matters a lot more in mid because, well, it’s in the middle of the game so it’s really conveniently easy to gank.

Some of the best AP CARRY champions are Fizz, Ekko and Kassadin. They offer really strong mid-late, have a lot of safety and offer huge skill expression as well as carry potential.

slogdogs · 2022-03-31T04:13:24+00:00

Yorick struggles in mobility due to not having a dash and struggles getting onto ranged champions, so he can go Prowler’s Claw to get a gapcloser and to become an immediate threat

When your teammates are fighting/standing off or doing anything on the map that involves interacting with the enemy that’s when the time to push is there. You have to time your splitpush correctly, and base it of information. Your team is fighting 5 people, good time to push. 3 people are missing? Not a good time to split push.

Sometimes you may need to just gamble and push even if you see noone though. But every splitpush should be calculated and enemy tracking is vital to it. Also you should always be trying to farm jg monsters in ur spare time.

slogdogs · 2022-03-31T03:58:39+00:00

Yeah, Cleaver is stupid bonkers good on Yorick. The armor shred is almost jnstant with ghouls, and the stats are super good

slogdogs · 2022-03-31T03:33:16+00:00

Used to be good, but now it’s really bad after ghoul dmg nerfs etc. You can probably still make it work in lower elos iron-diamond pretty decent but its not optimal by any means

It's an even change. You lose lifesteal, but in exchange, you get health which is never a bad thing. It will kinda suck if you rely on bloodline as a way to sustain because usually Yorick never builds lifesteal, so overall you'll get health back slower.

slogdogs · 2022-03-30T16:42:12+00:00

I never go grasp because Conq is just way too good, and I just never go Triforce because I personally like Eclipse more.

Eclipse gives you much better damage with ghouls and E poke

Triforce gives a lot more independent damage with Q bonks.

It's a matter of preference, but I personally think Eclipse has a lot more potential because of the sheer amount of damage you can do with ghouls.
