Yorick Early Game:
Focus on farming and using Yorick's ghouls to harass the enemy. Avoid overextending without vision.
Yorick Mid Game:
Push lanes with the Maiden and ghouls. Rotate to jungle camps when the lane is pushed. Always keep an eye on the map and be cautious about taking your jungler's camps. Prioritize drakes if the enemy team has already secured two or more.
Yorick Late Game:
Continue to split-push, but be ready to join team fights. Use the Maiden and ghouls to apply pressure in multiple lanes.
Yorick Farming Advice:
- Use the Maiden and ghouls to push lanes. When you have multiple ghouls attacking a wave, rotate to the nearest jungle camp.
- Always be cautious about taking your jungler's camps. Try to do it when they're on the opposite side of the map.
How to play Yorick in Team Fights:
- Release the Maiden in a lane far from the main objective to apply pressure.
- Use Yorick's W to trap key enemy champions.
- Focus on peeling for your carries or taking down the enemy backline.
How to play Yorick around the Dragon and Baron Objective:
- If it's a crucial drake (e.g., the enemy already has two), consider joining your team.
- Use the Maiden and ghouls to push lanes far from the objective, forcing the enemy to deal with the split-push pressure.
Yorick Matchups:
- Good Matchups: Champions that struggle against split-pushers or can't handle Yorick's ghouls effectively.
- Bad Matchups: Champions that can easily clear Yorick's ghouls or outscale him in the late game.
Champions Strong Against Yorick: Those with AoE abilities to clear his ghouls quickly.
Champions Weak Against Yorick: Those who lack wave clear or get easily trapped by his W.
The tombstone of triumph and laughter awaits with Yorick top guide!
