It seems to me that Yorick is currently in the stage Karma was: underplayed, neglected by the community and hence removed from rotations until his rework.

The disadvantage: you can't try him unless you buy him. However, why waste 4800 IP (unless you already own all champs) if you are uncertain that you will play him?

Some players bought Karma shortly before her rework to get Traditional Karma for free and actually liked the old concept - they just didn't know about it, since she hadn't been free to play anymore.

Imo, the frequency of a champ showing up in the free rotation may influence his pick rate. New players won't play him and the more players/games there are, the lower his pickrate will eventually be.
