To sum up my issues with Yorick,

The problem is, he combines a strong need in farm and items (without them he sucks, will explain later why) with the inability to farm early on. During laning, he is easily shut down by most ranged champs. Why? His healing is not so great (can be over-harassed), while his skills are short range, maening he has nothing to reply to most of the ranged champs. HE could with ghould (they chase champs by themselves), but the ghouls are SO easy to slay! Finally, he is REALLY slow. So, early on you need plain luck to have a reliable enough lanemate and not too agressive opponents, or else, your farm fails.

After laning, teamfighst start. And here goes another problem: without items, he is really weak and squishy; plus, he has no gap closer; you can chase ranged enemies, but you need to be ready to take some hits while you approach (speed boost from Q sucks, you have to hit something and that is not always easy) ; so, you need to be beefy.

So, to sum up, Yorick's early game sucks bigtime, and he needs a great effort to pick himself up in mid.

My suggestions: -buff the range of W, E. -Change Q's activation: the speed bonus is unreliable and really requires to land W beforehand, and that is hard because of the W's range -plain buff his stats so he does not go down that easily by himself. -upgrade early skill progression to get big increases early, with diminishing increases of skill power later on -buff his ****ing speed!!! I just barely outran a friend of mine with mercury's and no ghost (2 speed) using boots for speed 5!!!

All that is purely my speculations, is not supposed to be 100% accurate, and may contain some grammar mistakes and typos because i am tired )
