Yorick Guide
Tips for Playing Against Yorick
- -I think this is a dodge lane now. I've been banning it, despite it not being as common as some other matchups, because it is near Heimerdinger levels of catastrophe.
- -You wanna dodge his E and W in lane, and W out if you get trapped (never W onto him though, he will E and W you, and you will die).
- -Maiden is really tough to deal with, you probably need a gank, but after the already difficult lane it gets even harder with his split-pushing, to the point of impossible to deal with for Tahm. If someone else can match him, that is probably the best bet.
- -If you ever get the opportunity to safely kill Maiden, TAKE IT! I've literally inted for Maiden once, because there was too much pressure. I said "worth" after, with no doubt in my mind.
- -You used to be able to one-shot his ghouls, but that isn't always the case anymore, making the match-up harder than it already was.
Good Items to Use Against Yorick
-
Warmog's Armor
Warmog's might be a good option, as you can regenerate the crazy damage he does to mitigate some pressure, but I don't know. I think it's hard either way.
-
Swiftness Boots
Swifties is your next best option, after dodging.
-
Riftmaker
Riftmaker is an idea I've had for a while against Yorick. I think the matchup is near impossible either way, but I think this could help you to kill Maiden, and now also possibly give you extra damage to kill his ghouls.
