For those who arent enlightened, the yorick bug is when pokerick comes to your lane and says "bronze moment" before sending his family to kill your midlaner
If you're so much as Gold maining Yorick, you'll watch how Tyler played the Yorick matchup and it's not a surprise that he got fisted. Not to mention Illaoi is hard-countered by Yorick and he opted to play the matchup anyway. He thinks it's a lot worse than it really is because it's a bad matchup, so he gets blasted every time the enemy team has a Yorick. And assumes it's broken. We who have actually played Yorick understand the champ's weaknesses and understand why the champion is not 60% as Tyler claims he should have. Getting used to being completely fisted by Yorick/Jax/Irelia and having to sit under your turret and hope your team doesn't int whilst also getting used to playing without flash is really gonna mess with Tyler, so I don't think he can ever become a Yorick main. Tyler wants to unga bunga 0/5 Illaoi 1v1 the enemy top laner, Yorick wants to play calculated engages where he sets up graves and picks his fights very carefully. It's just not his playstyle. P.S. I find it hilarious that an 0/8 Fiora can 1v1 a fed Illaoi by facetanking her tentacles and doing 5k true damage to Tyler, but he thinks Yorick throwing Ghouls from range is the most broken thing in the game. Idk personally the 0/8 champion 1v1ing me while I'm fed and doing 5k true damage to me sounds 10x more broken ngl man.
Yone shield is kinda funky. Its cd is lowered by attackspeed and so is the cast time. It does both magic damage and physical damage, based on a max of your hp and his ad. Then shields him for a base amount if it hits something and adds another base amount if he hits a champion. I think it keeps stacking up based on more champs hit but not sure.
Tangled - I see the light "All that time never even knowing Just how blind I've been Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight Now I'm here, suddenly I see Standing here, it's all so clear I'm where I'm meant to be And at last I see the light And it's like the fog has lifted And at last I see the light And it's like the sky is new And it's warm and real and bright And the world has somehow shifted All at once everything looks different Now that I see you(rick)"
Youre definitely right about taking the inhibitor pre 20, unless you're in a situation to abuse it being down you're only feeding your enemy team gold, if you took it and immediately helped push another lane or had an objective to secure from it being down, it might be worth. Test it out by just taking it and immediately pushing another lane to try and further the lead if I had a team comp that could abuse that. I'd try that. I also think it matters what lane it is in, because top inhibitor is better, in some places and and bot in others if the objective rotation is to baron, bot inb is better, if the rotation is to drake top is better into a drake. There are just so many variables. How good is your team? Are your lanes losing? and you need to play the slow game, or are you ahead and need to win the game quickly versus a scaling comp. Imagine saving the first inhibitor only to push out another lane and secure both in one push to get both on the same timer to prevent the enemy from scaling off super minor waves.
Okay im going to admit my personal love/hate relationship with yoric..spammed him for about a year making decent personal growth in jungle and top with him. Left those lanes returning with new picks. Today i ventured up top with my age old yoric pick however a little rusty. I build lethality against the plat yone (i am silver) i end 3/12 you see you've shown me on the same day that you are the true authority on lethality yoric! Your chill demeanour and Gameplay has disguised just how good you are!!
pokerick i have a question: when you keep the maiden alive for a long time like you do in your videos, does she level up her status when you level up? or it just upgrades them after she dies and you call her again?
In patch 8.12 they made it so Mist Walkers and the Maiden now update their stats when Yorick's stats change, so when you level or get conq stacks they benefit
Most professionals always say that taking inhibs before minute 20 is bad because you are just giving a free farming lane for the opponents.. so yes, your thought proccess is kinda right about it
just found your vids from shorts, stopped playing league a long time agoe, this new yorrick looks nice, still kinda feel sad about that i will never be able to play the old one again :/
It seems like the only way to play League and stay sane is playing Yorick and just bust turrets up while toxic people cry in chat with chill elevator music on the background.
About taking inhibs, for me it comes down to baron being up (and my team down to take it), if they aren't, taking an inhib will negate a lane worth of exp and gold for the team (or you if you are pushing 2 lanes with Maiden).
Not Pokerick but E start is good for top lane especially because Yorick lvl 1 is mega weak and gets stat checked. Q start is rarely optimal, especially when enemies capitalize on your short range. So yes, E lvl 1 is good
@@overguy12You should also have mentioned that E is better for farming. He's weak as a melee and the extra attack range from Q isn't enough to ensure being able to farm minions early on.
Hey Pokerick, don't you think that Manaflow band plus scorch/gathering storm is strictly better than presence of mind/last stand for this version of your build?
LETS GOOOOO, i was just about to eat lunch and didn't have anything to watch, thank you again father pokerick for blessing this meal. And as always, Day 25 of asking for pokerick jg
@sirPokerick Patch notes for Yorick, apparently it's going to happen in the 13.5 update. It seems directed specifically at your playstyle. "This patch we’ll be nerfing Yorick's uninteractive blast-you-with-ghouls playstyle so that being caught by one E with lethality builds doesn't end your life. This should bring down the overall power of this frustrating playstyle, but we’ll be keeping an eye out to make sure Yorick isn’t completely underground after these changes. E - Mourning Mist Ghoul Bonus Damage: 40% ⇒ 30% (Note: this is applied up to 8 times per Ghoul).
Releasing the maiden is mostly for pressure and to farm two waves at once. She barely ever is allowed to just take towers so it's probably still worth to release - the bug hurts but not enough I think.
Generally taking inhibitors without baron is indeed not worth it. Unless there’s some clear large advantage (like you can use it to get soul), all it does is allow anyone behind to farm safely as the waves always push, and you can’t really attack them in their base. That is, if they actually do that instead of just ignoring it and letting the super minions take their base 😂.
I'd say it's embarrassing to not know how many videos you have since RU-vid makes it prominent on your channel's page and in your settings... 405, btw.
