Does Yorick have a purpose?
His level 1-5 is probably the weakest in the game. His level 6 is negligible compared to more than half other toplaners. His post 6 is still not comparable with early game bullies or even champs that are great lategame like Sett. He is the only champ in the game unable to control the wave. He is the only champion in the game who can actively heal the enemy every wave.
He has no innate grievous wounds yet he can heal more than 50 hp per ghoul at level 10, 600+ hp per ghoul lategame. He has no unconditional mobility, yet his only conditional movement speed boost is weaker and shorter than other ms boosts. He has no hard cc, yet he can still proc Fiora's W cc. His only utility does scales like shit with levels (you have to put three points on W to make it scale).
His ult has insanely long cooldown and can be insta killed by almost every toplaner. His main ability, Q, scales like garbage with levels (you dont even get meaningful cdr). E armor reduction sucks, scales poorly and other stronger champions in the early game have it for free and not conditional. He does not have a passive.
- there are better, easier low elo stompers.
- he is probably the only champion in the game that is not rewarding for skill, not at all.
- there are better, easier split pushers.
- he is probably the worst teamfighter in the game.
- there are better, easier fighters.
- most fighters have faster wave clear.
- he is probably the worst lategame champion.
- he has a single weak powerspike, most of the time is not even worth to use ult.
- his midgame is just statistically weak, other champions have more winrate both in early, MIDGAME and lategame.
- his ONLY gimmick which is pushing multiple waves is useless in decent elos. Yorick's wave clear is slow as fuck anyway.
Is there a reason to play Yorick?
