NO WAY Yorick is free elo.

Yorick strength in lane is overrated. Yes, he sustains well, he can shut down any all in attempt, but

1. He is a gank prey. A pathetic slow & speed boost that need to hit 1st won't help him vs many jungler

2. Many people can survive lane vs him easily. From Irelia, Aatrox, Renekton, Kennen...; to the extreme counters (Cho'Gath & Trundle). Even if you play someone with no natural sustain like Darius or Riven, after buying some lifesteal, Yorick becomes much less annoying; and after Hydra, it's a farm lane.

3. Someone said he falls off late game. Truth is he falls off (damage-wise) in team fight at any stage of the game. His saving grace is ulting on the carry, but that's about it. Even a Yorick that do fine in lane will be just some one at Riven tankiness level, while doing damage at Nautilus level.
