Mid lane is the lane that gains the most advantages from blue buff in most cases. while yes, giving Yorick blue is definately better than giving it to Akali, you should really consider the gains that mid lane would get from blue before handing it over to someone else.

mid doesn't control the buff, yes, but their input on the recipient is fairly important
