What? Morde beat Yorick? That poster must be on crack. Morde loses lane level 1 because he either syphons and Yorick heals through it with Famine while dealing more than the shield or he doesn't and Yorick gets to hit for free. Nasus stands no chance.

Cho'Goth does lane well against Yorick while possibly offering more to his team. Trundle isn't a counter, but he lanes well too.

I play a lot of Yorick and the only person I can't justify picking Yorick against is Shyvanna, honestly. A well-played Shyv will make your lane a headache from level 1, as your ghouls die too fast when you fight her. You don't get to use your passive and you lose a lot of their autoattack damage. Couple that with the fact that Shyv is a ball of damage and your slow ghoul dies too fast without her losing much(she just attacks it once, resetting the burnout) and you've got a bitch of an enemy early. She gets to build tanky, she's pretty decent at pushing and doesn't need to dominate the lane to be doing well(countering, and all). As a Yorick you can start boots to try to keep distance, but bushes become problematic and she can buy boots too.
