Today, let's talk about the most broken league of legends champion of all time, the old yorick, and him in league of legends history. From a champion who was known for being so broken, so overpowered, and so unfun to play against, that he was removed from riots and league of legends free week rotation, to now being a champion that is great for climbing in low elo. This is a video covering the history of yorick, and the history of league of legends, and Season 10 League of Legends, Rise of the Elements League of Legends.

Easily the most broken release in the history of the game. It's weird that no one talks about it, but the majority of the playerbase wasn't around back then.
What about Diana?
@@gizmo3728 not even close. Xin could1v5 without full build and no execution requirements.
Imagine someone maining Yorick and Aatrox back in the day...
Safe to assume they quit league now
nothing in the current Aatrox's kit is unique to both the old and new kit, hes completely gone.

@@freakydude7336 old poppy was amazing. They should've kept her ult. New one is too trolly. Doesn't execute people even when you charge it up to full and they escape for free with 20hp
@@mubumubu5975 u don't have to use it to kill, lol
@@mubumubu5975 just tap it for the cc. Or charge it to throw that fucking fed nasus out of the fight
Yorick used to be my pocket pick whenever someone picked darius or a cancer range champ :)
@qeuarfbhq3iwushbq I am a darius main and all i can say is that nasus can do nothing to stop darius. Darius got Nasus 9/10 times
@qeuarfbhq3iwushbq every nasus i have gone against is trash then. Illaoi is a big problem for me, i have never even defeated her in lane phase
@qeuarfbhq3iwushbq actually picking nasus in high elo is a suicide option :> I'm d2 mid main. Nasus severely needs his stack to win the lane, ans if you dont win the lane in high elo unless your team is smurfing theres no real way of coming back, since high elo players know how to snowball their lead and put you more behind so that you cant catch up.
With proper wave management and good pick nasus is a suicide pick. One can just build up a wave before level 3 while harassing nasus away of it and after you build the wave to a canon wave you can crash it and do a cheater recall or if nasus is low enough for you to solo dive him or if your jungle is a champ who can dive easily like elise then put him more behind by diving and making him miss those xps from the built up wave then do a cheater recall with an item and level advantage after that the wave would just bounce back to you so you dont rly have to do much but to make sure that the enemy wave would slow push towards you and freeze it in front of the tower with this method you can avoid nasus stacking and if he tries to break the freeze you should use your item advantage and level advantage altho be wary of minion damage since a built up wave actually hurts more than the enemy laner. Or u can just call your jungler since its a free gank since nasus would have to step up to get at least xp. Although you can also hard shove everytime with your lead and use your lead to snowball otherlanes its not advisable against nasus since he would be able to stack. Freezing is the best method as you said players are impatient so that nasus would 100% tilt and throw by stepping up and u can take advantage of it by either hard pushing to get damage to the tower or if your too low set up your freeze and recall. After laning phase you should use your lead to snowball objectives you should deny objectives like dragon against nasus since he scales pretty good. This is just how to put behind nasus during laning phase. If you know how to take advantage of this lead to win the game then thats nice.
He's still quite good against Darius. If Yorick doesn't win lane one way or another against Darius, that Yorick sucks. I went 2/6 vs Darius, because he grabbed a few kills here and there (never killed me once), he went 7/1, and I was still able to outduel him. He lost the game, and I won.
The dude still thought that Yorick didn't counter Darius, when his laning phase was hell, only managed to go 7/1 because he made a bad roam that only got punished by me taking his turret, and was 30cs behind. Yorick is still good in low elo because people are bad. Hold my 62% WR in Bronze-Gold elo.
@@itachiuchiha4838 yeah, in EUW the server I am in, you can climb with nasus, sure, the highest possible rank you can climb with him is high plat, maybe low diamond too ( trust me I've seen dogshit low diamond players lmao) but after that, you are never winning lane unless you're picking someone in meta especially in the top lane, like you mentioned all the wave management and stuff that you can abuse out of nasus, that also applies to anyone with a weak laning phase or someone who just lost a 1v1.
There is infuriating detail about old Yorick that everyone seems to forget- his ghouls has bugged model/bounding boxes and were nearly impossible to click on. I recall losing games because of that.
well, you knew that there is the 'a' attack command. did you? :D
@@Cloudmaster1511 cringe
@@user-hw5ji9em3s ?
A + left click is always how you should be autoing anyway. Or bind it to Shift Right Click or Ctrl Right click
@@JonnyfromElma I have it binded with spacebar, ezpz get gud.
Just realized old yorick’s abilities are the four horsemen of apocalypse: famine, war, death and pestilence
well that was the reason I played him. I liked old yorick, even thou he got nerfed. I played him.
I also liked new yorick, but now he's basically nerfed into non-viability again and that kimda pisses me of, since one can now play Nasus - who actually got buffed massively in the same timespan, and have a better splitpush.
the mechanics are also basically the same - smash Q, deal damage. if you hse your E well, deal more damage.
I didn't mind old yorick being a sucky champ because his kit was fun and unique, despite all the nerfs. the rework somehow lacks that feeling.
Isnt't it famine, war, death and conqueror?
@@wickedbrain6076 nope. Pestilence.
Google it "what are the four horsemen of the apocalypse"
@@wickedbrain6076 oh yeah, depends on where u read it can be conquest/pestilence, dunno why
These are NOT the four horsemen. You only named three. The first rider you didn't mention is justice and purity. Its a rather common mistake, maybe not a mistake at all considering pop culture believes famine, war, death and pestilence being the four riders. Death and famine is actually one and the same rider, so you only named three.
Remember when it was possible to be banned for playing Evelynn after they removed her stun
Holy shit I forgot she had a stun
the classic 5x Sunfire capes and boots, killing people in stealth
“Champion so bad you got banned if you picked it” next video idea
@Henry Tang Evelynn became so bad after her stun was removed that it was considered trolling to play her. She used to be op and since no one knew how to counter her with invisible pink wards, riot intervened and removed her best part of her kit
@@i8u2manytimes stun from stealth was awful, and she'd often demand you go into a massive gold deficit buying expensive pink wards just for being on the map. She was the only jungler who could farm all game and still put all three lanes several hundred gold ahead
Best part of old yorick is that he was just the best meme. You didn't play him to win, you played him to annoy the hell out of people :D
i didnt play the game back then, i think, but it seems like its a better version of teemo?
Isn't that Teemo's job?
You still just play yorick to annoy the hell out of people. It just so happens that now in the process of doing so youll probably win
Trueee
the start of this video is so funny because now Seraphine has by far the biggest like:dislike ratio and the only champ to where the dislikes are more
"Top lane was known as the island back then"
And it still is.
Oh. Nowhere near what it was back in the day though.
there is no top lane only support 2 top, all up to which team has a jungler
now jungles come top. before u sat alone
well people is realizing that tp can win games so top today is a island until a 4v4 break in at the bot so they have to turn it into a 5v5
Now you have lvl 2 jungler ganks and fast buffing.
I miss the old top lane. Now if i play top i spend 80% of the time looking at map for the enemy jungler.

I was so pissed off when people starting figuring out yorick was OP. He was sleeper for a while, nobody played him.
I remember that the hitbox on his ghouls were ridiculous. Playing any champion with a point and click ability (Vlad, Irelia, etc) was a painfull experience since you couldn't click on them before they got their damage on you.

Now: HMM LEMME REVERSE A PENTA.
Old champs like twisted fate doesnt deal true damage, annie, pretty much every support and alot more champion but with all the items now its eash to deal true damage.
Do you remember that broken champion riot tried to hide?
Which one lol
You missed the most important reason why the Yorick champion spotlight has so many dislikes: It was before the EU server split into EUW and EUNE, and the EU server was unplayable most of the time. You either couldn't log in at all, or if you managed to get into a game, you would often randomly get placed on the NA server with 100+ ping. The forums and Riot's youtube videos at the time were getting spammed with hate because of it.
So the eu server was always broken... some things might never change
@@kricketune5114 the only thing riot really cares is money and esport (also just because they make money)
So, who in riot gives a fuck about the game balance and forgotten weak champ. Money is only that matters
@@kricketune5114 The old EUW server was set somewhere in France and they turned it off for maintenance every day at 2/3 am.
Damn i played this game for almost 9 years D:
you just reminded me of one of the most frustrating moments in league of legends (besides the moment when xin zhao was released)
I'm surprised that it was never mentioned how when he first came out, he had to be disabled because his ult was bugged and he was immortal and kept dying and coming back to life infinitely and could push the enemy core and couldn't be stopped.
"I Figured only 1 other champion could rival as much hat...surely teemos champion spotlight would have the worst like-dislike ratio"
Seraphine has entered the chat
Old Yorick will always have a spot in my heart. The only season I seriously tried for diamond was season 6. I played mostly reworked Gangplank, but there was one champion who took my lunch money and shoved me in a locker...Fiora. I basically exclusively played old Yorick into Fiora and absolutely pub-stomped her every time. When I eventually hit diamond I had an 80% win rate on Yorick just using him as a pocket counter pick. Never would've reached diamond without him! I do enjoy the new Yorick nowadays though.
This reminds me of an old video about "winning by feeding", I need to watch that again!
The idea was to feed kills to the enemy adc for some time, so the enemy team's strength was pretty much concentrated on one over-fed auto attacker. When this was achieved, you suddenly stopped playing like crap for a moment and killed the enemy adc in a team effort with a Mordekaiser R. Then copy the Mordekaiser ghost of the adc with your Yorick R and suddenly you have 2 copies of the strongest champ on the field, and you just run down the base in a single death push.
SivHD
You're welcome
I will never forget how when Nemesis draft was a thing everyone was giving the enemy Yorick thinking he was shit, just to get bodied by that monster.
'Wait that's not supposed to happen'
By the time RIOT released Nemesis draft Yorick was already a walking meme
They did the same with trundle. The only reason he wasnt in meta at the time was because of the insane number of kiting champs running around.
That's when I found out that "shit" champs are just bad players playing the champs
I fucking loved that gamemode, i truly hope it returns, but I could bet anything it wont.
15:10
Champion who does a lot of damage with autoattacks, builds AD, yet does magic damage, so you cant itemize against him...
Yone is that you?
corki corresponds more to the description, Yone has only 25% magic dmg on autos so tabis are completely good against him, and his q are 100% physical damage that counts as auto attack on first enemy hit.
Kayle wants to know ur Lokation
During this time, you cannot win lane against a Yorick. I'll never forget that one match where I made him go 1/7 and he still managed to backdoor so rapidly. His pushing power is insane.
21:40 old galio was so forgotten that they forgot to place him on the forgotten list
Lol
Old Galio was a great counter pick for some matchups tho, he even got more popular before his rework came in. I honestly would prefer the old champions alongside new champs with the reworked kit instead of losing the old kits.
H Arz he was a support counter pick which lasted like a week or two in europe if i recall correctly. Some dude flash 4 man ulti which looked sick and got people talking about it. But then after that game everyone figured out they can just build mercs then he wasn’t a champion anymore kekw.
I miss old Galio :'(
Old Galio was actually good, like I prefer new Yorick, Sion, Poppy but Galio idc if new one or older one. They’re both fine
Your content is a fresh breathe with all the gameplay there not enough lore/history thing on lol. Keep up the good work.
thank you so much!
Sean Donnelly true but if you want lore hit up Necrit
What fisty baby said. Mans got all the lore details u need and is really good
Sean Donnelly 100% agreed dude. It’s why I subbed. Good quality content, not overused gameplay content and actual educational towards the game.
Me, an OTP Yorick until it's rework:
"There was atleast one player playing Yorick"
"HEY IT'S ME"
"Invertedcomposer..."
"Oh..."
It's also worth noting that InvertedComposer understood something that a lot of other people who'd pick up and play Yorick for a few games didn't understand about the champ. For as strong as his dueling, sustain, and damage reduction passive were, they were not good enough to let Yorick excel in teamfights like other tanky champions. Yorick's role during teamfights was to be on splitpush duty (where his incredible dueling potential shines to deter the enemy team sending people to him) or to play as a tanky backline caster that eats skillshots and spanks assassins for your ADC/Mid. Lesser Yorick players would apply their "run them down" mentality from laning phase to teamfights and just get kited, CCed, and blown up either forcing them to ult themselves or just dying without using it which was a big part of Yorick's perceived "win lane, lose game" mentality of the time.
Of course I remember him. He even told us that we would “You will remember Yorick Mori”
Man that final statement really made me think. What if riot, instead of just straight up nerfing a champion, just released a guide on how to play against that champ on their main channel?
For example: " We've seen that a lot of players have been struggling against Garen, here are a few tips on how to face the demacian vanguard! "
It would actually be cool, interacting and promote gameplay.
but then you'd have the set of players complaining and going all "ugh you just cater to the idiots, how about you let people learn how to play the game and stop treating them like idiots!!!1!!!!11!"
Same people who don't get why Akali continues to be nerfed despite the fact she is garbo low elo
People are and always will be idiots and no matter what they do people will always complain about it.
Some people complain about them nerfing too much, others complain they don't nerf enough
some complain about too many buffs
others complain about not enough buffs
and surprisingly you have those kinds of people about the same champions.
@@thesun5275 Well you can't please everyone. Might as well just please the majority.
Better than a tutorial video on how to beat each and every 120+ champiosn of this game, they just need to make it readable. What is the source of the damage, what is the source of the healing...
Take Lux for example. She's not OP, but if you don't understand the hitboxes of her skillshots, she might feel completely unfair to play against. And recently riot made the animation of her skillshots much more readable. That's an excellent gamedesign choice (and also why I'm biased against her newest skins, I think her skills are less recognizable).
@@AlexiSonic and that stuff is available right in the champion spotlight
The thinker lmao
"Lee or Nid would just camp him today."
I mean, there's a very real argument that it's horse shit to have a character that *forces* the jungler to camp them or they run away with the game. Especially when its a top laner which forces the jungler to be on the opposite side of the map from dragon.
cough cough Sett, Darius, Illaoi, Mordekaiser, every juggernaut basically.
@@Bendzsike just Nasus.
I feel like there are a lot of very unvalid points in the vid...
@@Bendzsike If you list 4 champs explicitly and generalise to a whole sub class that is just a Jugernaut top meta where it is one sides fault for picking a weak champ without the capabilities needed to survive lane just slightly behind.
If just one champ is at that point that is where you have a real problem.
honestly I've been playing league for a long long time and I've never seen yorik at all up until his rework ... thanks rito
You should thank them unironically, he was disgusting to lane against. Never experienced a worse champion to lane against.
"You'll remember the name Yorick Mori" - I miss old, forgotten and lonely Yorick, never realized he was broken back in the day though.
Honestly, he was still extremely strong even after the extreme nerf. I mained him for years before the rework, then never picked him up again.
Yes. This.
He is not broken now but he is still strong toplaner if you know how to play
Ill always remember "i guess we didn't have a read on the meta" as they locked in old urgot in season 6 or 7.
Idr i don't even remember the team, just the phrasing and qtpie really fuckin concreteing the meme
he was always strong, but never op.

Great video mate, keep it up!

Yeah, gotta love Riot with their changes and releases.
Riot: "New Yorick is too complicated for low elo players to understand so we are nerfing him."
Also Riot: "lol, Aphelios goes boom pew pow, you dead"
I have been searching this comment after watching this video.
Its just so true… but its the riot approach. If they dont like it they wont do shit for the champ.
The design in itself is pretty good tbh. A splitpusher similar to Nasus with decent early counters that just wants to wreak turrets…. and its kinda unique with his ghouls. Nut i didnt play him since the changes because the ghouls literally heal the enemy.

dodge r and only engage if ur able to all in without getting kitet, know what his weapons do, alt + f4 or never got top or jungle or support and dont stand anywhere near a wall
learn to play an assasin?? XD
You know what those champs remind me. At least leblanc and kass doesnt have a silence anymore. Some champs such but not being able to do anything sucks massive wiener. It was super fucked compared to now.
@@petkofuchalski9809 So you mean, learn to play Qiyana?
Only Sett is still broken as shit, others are slightly on upper level
Riot After releasing Yolorick: You will forget Yorick Mori"
Riot After Reworking Yolorick: You will remember Yorick Mori.
Lol the infernal cape reference was fire also the Ak one
Sweet video!
"You will remember Yorick Mori" ~ Old Yorick
memento Yorick mori
I love when you call riot on their bad decisions on balancing the game, could you make a video on the most bug/hated/controversial rework ever? aka the client rework
Fausto aka Sett being viable
Aatrox called.
also they removed zzrot.
@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz don't forget banner, or Ohmwrecker, or Brawler's glove, or Force of Nature, just to name a few.
@@VlazeSkylax to be fair banner and force of nature were beyond broken when they removed them.
zzrot was chill
@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz actually I do remember a time where banner was unused, until someone found out about being able to give a cannon minion with baron buff the banner buff as well, which is what actually made it considered to be removed*
I think Urgot suffered a very similar fate. I loved that champ before he was basically gutted in a very similar way, though I must admit Urgot was OP. I still loved playing him in URF before rework. I even had a skin on him. I don't remember if I even tried the rework.
I started playing Yorick in late 2019 and I really liked his kit, it was so unique and simple. So, for top, he's always been my main pick.
Obviously, he's very weak until level 6 and is heavily reliant on ganks or counter ganks, but I love how he easily destroys towers and objectives.
He's super useful in team fights, he can slow, trap and do heavy damage to anyone. I just wish he wasn't so team reliant. That's never good for solo queue.
You must not have played in 2016 and 2017. If yorick wasn't winning lane top it was because someone had a champion that could hold out against him and knew how to play defensively. In which case he would just hold lane till level 6 before beating down the enemy 2 or 3 times and then start running all over the map making more bodies. Because after all, the difference between a good necromancer and an enthusiastic necromancer is a good necromancer waits for bodies to naturally present themselves. Where as an enthusiastic necromancer is all about making new ones to play with.
It was a good thing tha the had medium high difficulty for learning and playing him. Well also not a good thing. Pretty much you waited to see if someone was just learning and wasn't any good. If they weren't any good you could take him in a teamfight. If he was any good you just FF'd at 15 and banned Yorick on the next game. Lol. Then again those 2 seasons they didn't really have good free rotation champions. The only had the stupid over complicated to play (like Azir, Nasus, Chogath, Camile, Kalitta, Oriana, Akali,Akari, Riven, Irelia, Talia, old Heimerdinger, urgot, Fiora etc) or ones that weren't complicated but were just stupid and under powered champions like old Warwick, Garen, or old amumu.
Back then free rotation pretty much. Sucked.
But they hid most all of the champions that were pretty easy to pick up as far as how they worked, stalled well and could hold their own even in early game.
If u pick irelia into yorick, it's practically free win for u. Cause Q'ing the gouls gave u all the stacks + hypermobilty. Then just jump onto his head and finish it. His cage is also useless against her
At the time there was a saying: "if you want to see if a champion is viable top, you have to do the Yorick test. If you can survive lane against him then you are good"
True, i main Yorick, only Nasus is annoying because he can stack my minions.
Wow that was like early 2013 or 14' good times
Pick darius and everything will be good
ALEXANDER GONZALEZ yorick counters darius hard
So just Irilia?
Yorick was the first champ i got lvl 5 with and i just loved to tell people about LoL, that it has dragons, knights, mages and all kinds of magical stuff, but i just trap people and smack them with a shovel. It just has such an amazimg sound effect
watching these vids about old champs just makes me miss early league of legends even more. the modern LoL feels like a completely different game that I don't like
This video showing champ release days reminds me of the days I used to scroll through, reading the lore of champs. Then, I came across Wukong! We share the same birthday (not year, but month day). I miss those days, the game was so fresh and new. Nostalgia is crazy
All of these are so entertaining and interesting. Good shit
Top: *gets heavily nerfed for no reason*
Jungle: the games depend on how well I play so I choose to farm all game and blame it on my team.
Mid: if my champion doesn't one shot every champion in the game and with no counterplay around them then my lane is weak.
ADC: I hate mages,I hate bruisers,I hate assassins,I hate juggernauts,I hate tanks and I hate supports.*proceeds to dominate toplane*
Supports: I wanna be a support,tank or healer or enhancer but with current champion designs I am an assassin and hypercarry mage.
Lol in a nutshell
top didn't get 5 buffs in a row? also, if every lane lose before you clear your second camp, or even more common, if your mid lane lose, jungle is pointless; also also, ever tried to play a bruiser or semi tank in mid?
this guy views league through the hashinshin lenses
I main Aurelion Sol mid.
Words cannot describe how badly I want to uninstall after most games, especially when the Jungle doesn't gank.
At least I have some fun voicelines though.
@@Zanithos what rank are you? im an asol main too
very good dedication on the video, thanks sir to share this to all us
i actually really enjoy the video .. im gonna subscribe hopeing to see some more video about jg champions
18:47 I just wanna shout out this Veigar in Korean solo queue named "yourmom"
11:58 Old Aatrox vs Old Yorick, the time when Toplane felt like fun playing it.
(sad crying)
( T -T)
Its so sad to know that my favorite class of champiobs is slowly getting removed from the game... Melee auto attackers... Ill stop playing when trynda gets reworked i sewar
@@CHNO-kl9bn vampire brawlers..
@@CHNO-kl9bn well they are still there, yorick is technically still a melee AA-based bruiser, and in fact aa based bruisers like irelia, jax, wukong, sett are really strong atm because of bork
though aatrox is no longer AA based unless you want to build bork sanguine blade frozen mallet idk
Perfect video. I will miss old yorick forever
Yorick was my main go-to for top lane. I really loved his gameplay style (always loved pet builds in games, and he felt like a pet build champ).
I remember abusing old yorick and people be like "when did they buff that champ?" and I was like "they didn't you just never see them"
Climbed to plat with him in a week before the rework. Was really sad when they fixed him cause i had a 80% wr with him almost going to diamond.
I love using "unorthodox" champs before, when most people don't know how to counter them.
same with poppy and urgot man , they changed them cause no one knew how to play them , but they were great , they didnt get powerspikes like yasuo with 1 crit item or zed before his passive tweeked and still were awesome , but riot decided to destroy them cause you need to play the champ the way they want you to , not the way you want it to be played
@@MementoMoriGrizzly yorick was terrible. He was a great pain in the ass to play against and not fun to play as. You just made everyone miserable
Did the same with yorick for a season before they reworked him
I miss the old Yorick. It was so fun to solo drag at level 1 with your E back in the days.
Sated devourer yoric also was a bit broken, he would ult himself spam his ghouls and then you have 2 yorics for the price of 1 hitting fast and hard as a wall.
I miss the old Yorik so much, i love the fact that he was ulgy, just by look at him you would imediatly think "this guy, is one foot from madness" or something like that, but now he's just the cemetery chad...
But nowadays, a champion that Riot want everyone to forget is Udyr, seriously, a honest think even Riot forgot him...
I don't think I've ever seen an Udyr or Skarner outside of ARAM
@@somerandomgamer8504 I only play skarner as a support now.
I really enjoy playing AP Udyr top because dealing 1000 damage in an AoE every 3 auto's is ridiculously funny. He's super fun.
@@TheJamieellis has fun for you to play, but actual cancer to play against. Just like yasuo, riven, irelia, ect.
@@battlecubes4762 You're joking, right? It loses to any ranged top laner like Vayne, Ryze, Vlad because it has no sustain unlike the AD variant and rarely gets kills or is good in teamfights. It's just annoying in lane.
If you'd rather, i could play Illaoi and 1v9 instead?
"There is only One Destination."
-Yorick Mori, 2010-2016
Everything has an expiration date :(
Everything on the old Yorick was so damn good. The lines, the fact that you didn't really need to skill your ult at 6 since your ghouls will tear everything apart - loved him
Wait, it has been 4 years since he got reworked?
as someone who only really started playing in 2019, I appreciate these little docs as I never knew of this history.
2:45 seraphine: hold my skarner Crystal
Yea i was supposed to sleep but now im not doing it
hahha sorry!
"those champs were a mistake"
Traditional Lee Sin. I see it all makes sense now
He was the one exception to that because he was actually cancelled before being released, instead of being reworked
@@Exil22 huh interesting, but I was joking. I know he hasn't been reworked
only mistake about Karma before rework,was you entering lane thinking thats a trash champion.That thing was so broken you could destroy opponents so much they rage quit.
if you are talking about lee sin how can you "see" excactly ???
@@anastasislagouras3243 ayyy
Watching this during the yorick buff screaming in pain
I remember maining this Yorick for a season and it was really fun
My dream is that one week, Riot makes a game mode where the old characters came back before their rework, hell, even global TF
Don't forget to wash your hands often
That would be amazing. Miss the old Pantheon too
@@roc2936 i miss old fiora so much like she was so much better than the new fiora
To be honest I don't think Twisted Fate with a global R would be problematic right now. Except maybe for pro play
@@AofCastle he had global teleport on E. perfectly balanced
Bruh, I was there is since beta, and forever favourite is gonna be hands down Kassawin, and cmon he and and LB had silence, at least his joke made sense then :D
This reminds me of playing Poppy back in those days. There was an unspoken rule among the community: we don't talk about Poppy and Yorick. They weren't just strong, they were absolutely insane, and no one knew how to play against them. But because they were never talked about or played everyone thought that it was because they were trash champs. Poppy at the time had arguably the strongest ult AND the strongest passive in the game, and was a nightmare to deal with. It was a unique time, there is no champion in today's League that is treated with the same sort of taboo those two were back in old League.
No wonder I dont see Yorick and Poppy, despite how insanely strong they are
@@davidevans7477 Uhh, he's talking about the past. ~2-3 years ago, I think. Yorick and Poppy are... just meh/ok today. They were hella fun tho. I still remember one-shot AP/AD Poppy and annoying as hell manamune Yorick.
@@Zysperro i remember ulting the weakest guy from the enemy team ang demolishing the rest of the team with poppy's ult.
I'll nevee forget that i got my first penta with old poppy :D
Renegade Pige stat sites don’t even post the win rate for Skarner. Do you think that’s the modern equivalent?
Yorick was my second champion bought and my most played for years. this video was a trip.
This video is so wonderful i am a Apex Legends Player ( Predator in Season 2 and Master Season 6 ) sometimes i find myself asking to my friends and also myself what happened to my skill i use to dominate Lobbies back and forth non stop while we all have different opinions on the matter one thing we did agree on ALL Players got good all players learned positioning, gun skill and game mechanics where as in Season 1 it could be considered the beta state of the game where no one knew what to do but overtime people adjusted became more sweaty and smarter and i realize everything i needed to know about the game i know and i had to find brand new and different strats to clutch or secure wins so while my skill may not have grown my Game IQ just like other veteran players also did this is a AMAZING VIDEO and i love it completely!
When tencent games buys a game for 400 million that you got for free.
*STONKS*
I have played Yorick for a while now, but when I first picked him up I was confused as to why we never really saw him in competitive play or high elo. I was dominating with him consistently, even when he was being nerfed. This video helped me understand why people don't really play Yorick. The pros started playing him after realizing his power, which led to him being nerfed. This caused the pros to stop playing him as he wasn't really viable in that high level play, which in turn caused the lower elo players to not play him much anymore due to low attention from Riot and little presence in competitive. People in low elos didn't (and still don't) know how to play against a Yorick, because they have never seen a Yorick, and don't really know what he does. This domination in low elos led Riot to keep nerfing Yorick, making even less people play him and have the knowledge to play against him. Nerfs to his stats wont do much if your opponent doesn't even know how to play against the idea of his kit. Why are newer champions always played in competitive? Well, the fact that they are new leads everyone to try them, which allows people to more quickly realize the true potential of their kit. This puts them in the spotlight in competitive play. But why do newer champions (and also the starting champions like Miss Fortune) often stay there for longer periods of time, while champions like Yorick get a small taste in the spotlight, yet quickly drop out? This is because Riot wants the new champs to succeed. Riot doesn't really care too much about the champs that aren't the ones that you start with, and also not the newcomers. This is because the starting champs are the first experience you get, and they want to make them great introductions into the game. And the new champs are making them the most money, and also keep you coming back for more, so they want them to stay in the spotlight as long as possible. Sadly, this leads to most of the champions in the game never really getting a taste of competitive play, even though they are champions that have lots of potential to be viable. These champions just get stuck in a loop, and can never really find a place to fit in. Although I still frequently crush people with Yorick, I don't really feel satisfied, because I know that I will soon get to a point where people will know how to play against him, making him not nearly as powerful as he is in my current elo. I picked up Yorick not because I could crush people due to their lack of knowledge, but because I genuinely enjoy his kit, and the fact that he simply becomes irrelevant at a certain point makes me really sad. I hope that Riot will try to give every champion a better chance to actually impact the game, as every single champion in the game has potential to be great.
I spent over an hour on this comment, and I hope that you enjoyed reading it. Thank you.
Feel bad to tell you the truth, but nobody read your comment.
Tl Dr
I did read the comment, and I think the same way, I joined League of Legends in 2016, like 1 week before Kled was released, and I never saw Yorick until 2018, I then started playing him, but even if I know what he does and understand his cooldowns, I still don't know how to counter him, maybe because my lack of knowledge in the game, but I always wanted to know how to counter him, like understand the game enough to know how everything goes.
Well written pal
It all comes down to his kit being outperformed by other champ with similar kits. His ult being garbage and literally being brainlet fodder at low ELO. That's why no one plays him.
Watched this video almost a year later, but thanks for it. I love Yorick. Best champion. It was nice to see his history.
This video being recommended to me after bel'veth and nilah being released is perfect
I really want that video on Galio. He was literally only changed because he was unpopular. Not because he was broken, or underpowered, or having a kit that doesn't work. No, everything about his design was fine. It's just that he was unpopular, so they made a new character, slapped the Galio name on it, and called it GG.
I mean, Aatrox was the same. Even worse, he just got out of being banished for years just to be reworked to the point where he stopped being Aatrox.
@@DemonerLycan Atleast he still looks a bit like aatrox....
I loved old Galio. I love the fact that he's not that popular, feels really special when playing him.
@@JojishiAMVs sure he is still the demon guy of league but the playstyle is astronomically different from the old version
@@_BlackMethod_ That is definitely true, not going to deny that.
To answer the title:
Yes, yes I do
I looked through the list of champions and saw yorick lonely and had never seen him in game. Interested I saved up my ip and bought him instead of googeling.
He was my first real main and will remain in my heart
Pretty much same
Same here haha
The reason I bought sion urgot poppy and galio
I had gold saved when yorick was released and after trying him a few times i decided to spend All My gold on a perfect runepage just for him.. The next Day they changed him and the runes i had used 3 months gold on became useless...
I was pretty pissed
Same here with Galio... never seen one, so i saved my Ip to buy him. Got mastery 7 on him, climbed to Diamond 1 and suddenly... Galio Rework announced. He will be in my heart forever
Its been a year now and Yorick has got the attention he deserved I'd say. I would be really interested in your opinion on his adjustments (and buffs) in the recent time.
I remember my brother maining old yorick for a bit and watching those games were the most hilarious thing.
The quality keeps skyrocketing 🚀
thank you so much!
Damn hearing that no counter joke really made me realized how long ive been playing this game
Too long
😂😅
There was a great little moment of Jungle Yorick having absurd synergy with OG wriggles lantern, was hoping to see that get a mention in this vid
if you really feel like it Yorick Jungle is pretty nuts. you're slow as hell at the start but the moment you hit level 6 you are the fastest jungle clearer in the game bar none. plus you can just send maiden down a lane to split push while you're busy farming waiting for the next dragon.
I remember when I found out how broken Yorick is in like season 4 or something around that time, it almost felt as if I cheated because no one else played that pick.
Also, seeing old rift and old Yorick brought back so many memories, I love these videos.
I haven't touched League of Legends for 4-5 years now. However I somehow sat through this entire docuimentary at 2am. Incredible video man, thanks for the throwback.
As buggy as Yorick used to be, I miss the feeling of summoning all three ghouls against an opponent.
His E was my favorite. So much sustain.
Agree, his old kit was fun
i remember when yorick rework coming soon was a meme, thanks to this vid. Long forgotten days
@@IGarrettI yeah, it was totally fun. 😂😂
Yorick was sooo funny to play xD i loved his walk animation xDD and the best thing was when he says "YOU WILL REMEMBER YORICK MORI!!" xD i miss him so much
@@conrase3520 but nobody remembered.
Regarding the nerf/buff philosophy.. I feel like Riot balances around what we CAN affect.. like, I can learn Akali, but I can't stop my opponent from picking every pubstompy character and getting fed on allies
In an analog way.. I remeber that - playing against old Yorick - if I wasn't duoing with my jungler I could kiss my lane goodbye, and that's losing your lane because you can't affect your jungler..
Nothing you can learn or get good from those situations
Btw, watching this video for the second time, simply amazing
I was, in response to the "nerf because he dominated low elo" thing, about to comment about how RIOT often on the contrary seems to balance champions according to their Pro Level performance, while ignoring how they do for the remaining 99% of the player base... But I see you got me covered, nice!
