I haven't the faggiest as to why he is so faggy, but you have to give a gay what he wants.

On a scale of 1 to fag, Yorick is Chris Crocker.

Yorick was sitting in a hottube with a few other guys. Some sperm rises to the surface and they all tell Yorick to stop farting.

They fired Yorick for drinking on the job. He worked at a sperm bank.


This is kind of how I feel about Yorick: http://youtu.be/m9P4trNWxYk?t=4m21s
Replace the Talon with Yorick, of course.

Earlier in the video, there's a Garen saying, "Yorick walks into a bar, there is no counter."
Pick Trundle to counter him. Doesn't make him less faggy though.

 

Hey, this isnt true, I buy sightstone, I DONT CS! Im offended. Next time you play a champ who needs cs or kills ill be there, watching... waiting... not paying attention... and BAM! Not even an assist for you.

 

Granted, I think I'm starting to understand your hostility toward Yorick. I hear psychopaths have a tendency to hate those who abused them as children. So I understand why you think Yorick is so faggoty after getting raped by him so much.

Except I can beat Trundle in lane as Yorick.

So joke's on you, bud.

 

Whoa there tiger.

No, we hate yorick because he's stupidly broken in Lane. He has exactly two counter champions, two. Most champions are countered by at least six or seven to some degree or another. Or can be countered by building the right things.

But you can't counter Yorick unless you are Cho or Trundle. Ganks don't stop him, sustain doesn't stop him, burst doesn't stop him, sustained damage doesn't stop him, harass doesn't stop him, pushing doesn't stop him.

But we also hate when he's on our team. Despite being useful during the lane phase, when the teamfight/roaming phase starts, you may as well have pre-buff twitch on your team. But you know, worse. He has exactly one thing he can do that's useful for the team. Otherwise he's just a slow thing that's going to do no damage and has no CC and isn't tanky enough to actually TANK being focused.

Yorick is trash. He's anti-fun to play against in lane (see: no counterplay, which means no skill involved) but he's shit tier to have on your team once laning ends. In general Yorick is terrible design on almost all levels and in all fashions.

This is basically why even fucking LB sees more tournament/pro level play than Yorick does. He's a shit champion who is good at exactly one thing. Laning. But the way in which he is good at it removes all interactivity or fun or skill from the lane itself. He FORCES it to be a passive farm fest without even trying. Even his ult isn't TERRIBLY useful.

Yorick is trash, and you're a shit-tier little mouth-breathing reprobate. Check yourself, scumnugget, before someone has to school you.

 

I'm just going to make the small point of, anyone with healing reduction and decent burst or sustained damage will beat him, all there is to it.

Also, yorick is pretty good out of laning phase, the chasing power and ability to stick to someone makes him amazing at keeping someone in or out of a fight. Not to mention survive a great deal of punishment.

 

Lol.

I'd make a hypocritical comment that Yorick's faggotry is fact and your faggoty opinion won't change that, but let's skip it before this gets out of hand.

Walking makes some good points, but let's all keep a civil tone here. Talking about Yorick's faggotry is all in good fun. If you like Yorick, feel free to play him. Just know that most people will judge you immediately as a faggot, and that you bring nothing to your team except for a "shut-down" top lane which really only works vs heavily farm-dependent top lanes. Malphite and Wukong ults will still bring a ton more to the teamfight than you.

And Yorick, while having heavy harass, has as close to 0 kill potential as possible vs anyone competent. It's another reason why you don't see him played much by pro players. Well, TheRainMan plays him, but then again, can he be a pro player without a team?

(Also insert disclaimer about no hatred towards gays)

 

I was just giving Churchey a hard time is all.

Also, whoa. That last line took a total left turn from the rest of the post. You had me up until there.

I don't deny that Yorick is tough to counter or play against. I don't deny that he doesn't bring as much to a teamfight as other champions. I don't even deny that he can certainly be weak. But that's all completely moot.

You said it yourself. Yorick is an amazing laner. That is what he brings to the team. Nobody wants to fight a farmed Nasus, a fed Olaf, a Darius who can just dunk you instantly, etc etc. There are many, many champions that can be complete terrors late game and in team fights. That is why you choose Yorick. To stop them from snow-balling. As Yorick you can prevent those champions from dominating your team. Does Yorick himself bring a lot to a team fight? No. But his sheer lane presence and keeping the enemy from becoming extremely strong. That is what he brings to the team.

So fucking chill man. No need to get so bloody uptight. It's just a discussion. I know what I'm talking about. Am I god-tier? No, but I've played ranked plenty, and I've played plenty of normals. So just chill with the trash talk mate.

 

Lulu is my new favourite support. Bitch be trippin' balls 24/7.
Also, never let Kellros support.

 

Goddammit, this is why I cant support, they wont let me.

 

Churchey: You're absolutely right. I play Yorick, and people definitely judge. But I know what I can do with him.


Regardless, it simply is a shutdown lane. And Malphite, Wukong, Darius, and Cho ults do still change games. Absolutely without any argument from me. But how much more scary would those champions be if they're sitting on four or five final items versus two or three?


As for his kill potential, it's all in how you play him. I can kill many different champions as Yorick, 1v1, in lane. It's all in playstyle. Granted, it's not as easy as many other champions to get those kills, but it's not impossible.


All in all, Yorick is not as strong as many of the champions in top lane, but he's nothing to just shrug off either.

---------- Post automerged at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

Of course not, you steal CS and kills, and never ward. :3

 

Much scarier, for sure. But it doesn't really matter, because no matter how much they farm, they are still scarier than you. So you are still gimping your team with the pick.

If you played Malphite into Wukong or vice versa even, you could also bring a game changing ult to the table. As it is, you aren't equalizing anything, you are subtracting 100cs (at the absolute height of my hypothetical generosity) from their team's top lane while subtracting all usefulness from your team's top lane.

You're right that it's all in playstyle, but you're wrong in saying that it's in any way related to him. Yorick has 0 kill potential vs any competent opponent. The only thing that determines your ability to get a kill as Yorick is your opponent's level of retardation.
Your damage is low, your cc is very low, and the only way to get a kill is to get your opponent low from harass and then go for a kill. But your damage is so low that to go for that kill, you have to already have him significantly lower than most other champs would need to. There's no way to "outplay" an opponent as Yorick, it's a skill-less matchup that will only end in a kill by the grace of your opponents misplays.

Until it gets to late any point past early game, when he literally stops mattering in any way whatsoever.

And quite frankly, anyone can counter Yorick these days with a 13 pot start or a 6 pot/fort elixir start, or a 2 ward/9 pot start. Pretty much any of those heavy sustain starts will outlast Yorick's mana, even if he goes a similar start with heavy mana pots.

 

I want Kellros to be my support. We dominate all things. All the things! Because my Ashe is incredible, and Blitzcrank is OP as all hell.

Also, Janna resents the implication that I am not a good support Kaemrynn. I might just have to kill you now.

And screw top lane in general. Seriously.

 

You know, I hadn't thought of that. But then, I'm still locked into the idea of boots+3, with the occasional dorans or flask. Pure pots starts don't really occur to me yet.

Next time I see that fuck, I'll have to keep it in mind.

 

I'm kind of looking forward to the new Nasus changes, since he will become a pretty viable pick into Yorick with a 20 mana siphoning.

 

Playing Nasus period is just fun. Besides the fact that you just become ridiculously strong, it's like a personal race with yourself to see just how much farm you can get on your Q. A 20 mana Siphoning Strike will just be even better.

Also, Brute, I just meant that the people I play with the majority of the game. I haven't played with you in forever mate. But you are an excellent Janna.

 

I used to play a lot of Nasus, then I saw streams of pro's playing farm!Nasus and felt bad about myself. Didnt think so many minions were even available at so little time.

 

Yorick is like Leblanc. You're only a threat for the first 15 minutes.

However, unlike Leblanc, you can't even help in a team fight without being completely reliant on another ally.

 

I dunno, Leblanc dominates most traditional mids and also has strong roam potential. I think it's a disservice to her to say she is similar to Yorick, because she has more than the one trick.

But she is pretty high up on the faggotry levels.

 

Someone on here needs to make a LoL story detailing the life of a Summoner down on his luck, hoping for the big win. Here's the summary.

I stand in front of the unprotected Nexus, double-positive and completely fed while my teammates all wait for a respawn that will never come, and can only watch as Garen and the thrice-damned Blitzcrank charge with the fresh-off-a-triplekill-and-need-to-be-nerfed Zed trailing safely behind the two Tanks. Today is the day I die.

Drama/Tragedy

LoL has some crazy highs and devastating lows.

 

I thought we had moved past the whole viability of Yorick argument...

But I have to agree with Republic21, watching some high level players use Nasus is just disheartening. It's like being able to freeze a lane and Q every single one of them, every wave, despite poke and engages from the enemy...
