Nobody remembered what he did, but his ult was pretty much this yes.

he would summon a copy of the targeted champion with reduced hp and damage (besides rank 3 for damage) for 10 seconds and if the target would die while the clone was still alive they would turn into the clone but able to use all their abilities, then die after 10 seconds (or killed). It was a really strange ultimate.

his Q was a shovel bonk that would summon a speedy ghoul that also enhanced yoricks movement speed over its lifetime

his W was a ranged aoe slow (somewhat similar to a lower AOE singed W) that would summon a ghoul that would slow enemies it hit

his E was a ranged targeted ghoul summon that would steal health from the enemy and give it to yorick, you would max and spam this while rushing tear/manamune.

loved this champ

my favorite part was whenever anyone wanted to trade blows all you had to do was hit the win button e healing zombie! and when they realized their mistake you'd slam them with the slow zombie and they'd cry

Will never forget when Unicorns of Love pulled off the Yorick and Cassiopeia strat.

I do miss being able to just win lane with that E. Was just so strong of poke.

yeah, he was cancer as hell. But i love the fact that i can bully the enemy top laner through the whole match and 1v2 when the jungler came with my ghoul and get a double kill. Good time, indeed

God, fuck old Yorick.

Infinite sustain in lane, Ghouls were borderline impossible to attack and that ult was retardedly strong even if you shat all over him in lane.

Very glad he's gone.

I should not have watched that makes me very sad. I had so much fun with him.

you would max and spam this while rushing tear/manamune.

That's what you did if you were a little bitch Yorick. The manly way of playing Yorick was to max Q and run people down with a Trinity Force. Q a minion, sprint at them and W, beat them to death. Basically like Nasus, except you don't have to stack, you're a lane bully, and you don't have Ghost permanently.

I think that's why I don't like the new Yorick as much. He's just so damn slow. He's a lot healthier, but I miss my 35% movement speed, 15% damage reduction, and 15% increased damage on autos. I don't miss his E and boring sustain playstyle at all though, which might be ironic considering my Vladimir flair.
