Well, here are my impressions of the champion so far. It should be noted I don't own him, so I'm just going off of what I've seen playing against other Yorick's.

Yorick seems to be a champion that was given a little of everything, but sucks at most of it currently. They based his character design around being able to summon minions, but his minions are horridly weak. 1~2 auto attacks is enough to kill them, given they only last 5 seconds anyways. This in turn makes Yorick's passive pretty much dead weight, since it's hard for him to put full use of it when he can't keep his minions alive for more than 2 seconds.

His Q is just...awful. I'm not sure if it's a mistake or not, but when writing this, the wiki says it has no scaling on it's damage. And...150 damage at max rank with no scaling is pretty pathetic really. It's pretty much being able to auto attack twice, and while the movement speed in theory would be good, his minions die to fast for it to be of any use.

His W seems semi decent at least. Low base damage if off set by it being an AoE spell with 0.8 scaling. The problem with it that I can see is the horrid range. Compared to Orrianna's AoE slow, Yorick's does over 100 less base damage, and has a far shorter range. It seemed like for the Yorick's I fought to actually hit me with this spell, they had to practically be in auto attack range to do it, which kind of defeats the reasoning of a ranged slow.

I'd say his E is probably his best skill of the lot, being able to give him some lane survivability. While having low base damage, it has a nice 1:1 scaling rate which is something at least. Though it would be nice if the minion could last long enough to actually heal Yorick with it's effect.

Oddly enough, I like his ultimate as is. It lets you get that carry back in the fight for a few seconds, but it's not a get out of jail free card like Ziliean's. Of course, the ghoul that he makes when using it seems quite frail, being if your against an aoe team it will probably die before the carry it was put on.

hopefully Riot will do something to just improve this guy. He had so much potential to be a decent champion :(
