Honestly his new kit looks like he's just going to be an annoying laner to play against. lvl 6 he can just pop his R and free farm and win trades. If he rushes a tank item he's too sustainy to fight while still getting dmg numbers from his kit alone to stand with some of the better early game dps champions. He doesn't seem to have any decent poke. I can see his E becomming a nuisance if he rushes mana, especially if he maxes it. CDR doesn't seem like of any importance to him unless you just want to spawn MotM (R) more often. His W is quite nice and his main teamfighting tool. I really like it. Albeit a bit of a discount Trundle pillar/Event Horizon. Q is just damage for the sake of damage, and to get to use your passive.

What worries me most is his damage numbers. Since he gets free damage from just about every part of his kit (No bonus AD scalings, only AD.) and %hp scalings. I'm worried that the best route for Yorick is to just build full tank, with one dmg item, probably being either Titanic or FMallet. This just insures that your minions can't be offed easily, allowing them to get more attacks in along with sustain dueling
