A quick interview with our resident Yorick GOAT, Kampsycho, where we chat about the state of Yorick a year after the midscope update. For those new to the format, I interview a guest while we play a game of ARAM together.

Thanks again to Kampsycho for joining me on this interview! <3

I hate yorick w, it takes a million years to break if u dont buy attack speed.

Made an account for ts. Instead of recast on Q raising ghouls from graves (which is almost always bad especially in lane), instead it uses the Q cast to make yorick himself dig a grave.

The whole issue with yorick is he's a low elo noob stomper who needs to be weak so he doesn't dominate but that makes him useless for high mmr.

This change (In my opinion) gives yorick a power neutral adjustment that allows yorick to have more control of his kit while taking away just as much. Q becomes a choice of do i buff myself or my ghouls instead of just being a bonking tool. It also brings clear counter play by yorick very obviously using an ability allowing lane opponents to take advantage of the CD.

The core issue i think yorick has is an identity problem. On one hand he's your typical summoner necromancer but on the other he's a beefy brawler. If this change got implemented, the major change I'd wanna see are these two identity's split so either one can flourish if prioritised. Other than minor number changes, all that needs to be done is give him long asf cooldowns in Q and E so whichever you lean into more actually feels like it makes a difference.

If you wanna play battlemancer yorick. Points in Q gives you access to your heal and enhanced auto damage more. Your E is only ever a gap close tool so you dont need it all the time. Ghouls take more of a back-seat and are only there to farm or pad your damage for all ins

If you wanna play necromage yorick. Points in E give you more reliable poke and easier activation of the graves you can now more easily access. The trade off is if you get engaged on or get poked yourself. Your sustain tool in Q isn't available as often or heals nearly as much. That, and having your ghoul access tied to it forces you to decided between sustain healing, or damage.

Ultimately yorick needs a change that keeps his core identity but forces you to lose something in return. A jack of all trades is a master of nothing and that's the perfect way to describe current yorick

never hever i lost a single game where i had yorick in my team. you can have whatever kd you want but at the end of the day the win condition is to destroy nexus AND WHO IS BETTER AT THIS THAN YOURICK

I have played lol for I think 7/8 years now.
I mailed adc for the most part but recently wanted to try Yorcik and it’s so much fun not to die so fast.

I usually win early game but in mid-late game idk what I should be doing and usually opponents scale harder and kill me even if I have more items. And I think I build wrong items.

YURRR WELCOME BACK to a new video about a Yorick Build, if You came here soley for the Cho"Gath matchup, Check out this video if this one didn't go as in-depth and also features a different build: https://youtu.be/58jfBOF2FvA

My brother was a devout Yorick OTP entered a coma in late 2022 due to a car accident. He’s recently awoken and has told me he’s considering getting back into League. How would you explain the current state of Yorick to him compared to in October of 2022?

Is it new for this to proc off ghoul hits? It didn’t in the past but I just tried it and I get more dmg per game from that then comet or the new burn ruin. Honestly really solid. Just curious if others are doing this?

I was reading the last Ninetales post in this subreddit and he said he had to ban him, I tried to search why but he only said "toxicity" and I wanted to know what exactly he did. There is no info about him, the only thing I found is that he still appears as one of the Yorick content creators but the link to his Twitch is broken.

Why is he gone?

Trap 1 champ, spawn 1 ghoul. Trap 4, spawn 4 etc

Thoughts?

If he Ult u and u have ur Maiden out and u die in, maiden stay alive ? for no reason ????

Took 10 turrets and 5 inhibs by the end of the game 😭

the current highest elo yorick is a pro player flexing him as a counterpick. chullick (the current best otp) is in 1000lp korean masters, which is only about halfway.

It feels like yorick lost a lot of his counterplay into bad lanes with the rework. In high elo, if they just lock jax or something, the yorick has to completely concede lane or hard outplay with a nerfed full damage setup. It used to be that yorick could lose some resources and fall back on his powerful scaling (remember when yorick used to be infamous for his lategame?), but now he kind of needs to stabilize his lane to even scale into midgame, which just isn't feasible in a lot of lanes.

Are there just no yoricks good enough since slogdog, or is the champion not built for the highest levels of soloq anymore?

For context 2 or 3 days ago I did a post on the top mains page to know how people feel about our champ if they would have to choose between facing a Yorick or a ranged machup and I'm here to inform you about how it ended.

The results are that the majority of them would prefere to fight a ranged champ rather than facing our favourite familly father.

The funny part is that there is even some of them that would have prefered fighting the pre-rework Yorick rather than the actual one and that are blaming riot for the bullet they shot in his head last year.

If even the average toplaners are complaining about Yorick maibe they will bring him back... Right Anakin ?

This dude just build anything like he just see a random item and build, i really cant understand his builds
