Yorick is our first "Shadow Isles" character reaction so far. What a cool character design and interesting origin story. Please let me know who I should react to next from the Ruination event/Shadow Isles story.

Now Yorick is even more interesting in the game: Ghouls and Maiden always follow him until he releases them at will. And the third ability immediately raises the ghouls from the graves and base they jump on the enemy. Not the easiest character to start with, but one of the most interesting for me.

[@Aaniel_al.Meara.]

Finally youtube informed me about new vid. I'm just starting to watch, but i wanna say that you rly should react to related chamions first. It's hard to keep everything in your head when you're jumping from one thing to another. I saw some youtubers reacting to champs from one region, then another, then another, etc. Thats really good idea.

[@stone_pilot]

I think it’s fine

[@Aaniel_al.Meara.]

@@stone_pilot exactly, fine

Hello! Yorick have a nice natural voice line without the interactions line. Is nice and mind changing too . :)

[@Alessandro_CostaS]

the ruined king is the game wich tells the ruination story it is a great game and introduce the lore of bilgewater and shadow isles very well

[@endersplitt2435]

I remember that before Yurick got his rework, there was a inside joke going around "Yorick walk into a bar, there is no counter" cause he was such a pain to deal with. he was not super op, just a pain to deal with. and before he got his rework, he got no skins for the longest time cause noone played him.

[@AvanteReacts]

That's super interesting. I love hearing about the history of these characters throughout the game itself so thank you.

[@bread6596]

Is their a possibility for a part 2 where you react to the just another nobody's voice lines video cause in that video they are more interactions between yorick and the maiden

[@AvanteReacts]

I'll make sure to come back to that. Thanks

[@Beij1ngCorn]

Yorick is one of the more fun characters to play, he has a unique kit and can contribute without playing the usual champion playstyle(getting kills, objectives, ect). He is a bit slow and hard to play, but other than that, it is fun to destroy a whole lane by yourself with an increasing army.

[@ramlaww]

Another quick thing too, yoricks ghouls, while looking like those little zombies in game, are actually real corpses deformed by the mist in the canon universe outside of the game. Imagine zombies of people he once knew as brainless abominations, with massive oversized limbs and messed up proportions, thats why hes so depressed aside from never dying.

19:40 "Good fencing makes good neighbours" That pun took longer for me to get than I'm proud to admit.

Shadow Isles and its characters lore is hard to get into (just my opinion), due to there either being too much of it but it being scattered in 100 different comics, stories, bios, videos etc, or some characters barely having any lore at all - the most important characters for the lore here would be Thresh, Viego and the Sentinels of Light. If you are interested the book Ruination is the best way to go about it - but ofc there is no way to make a video for this :P . Alternatively i think Necrit has some videos for Viego and the Ruination, perhaps even a Shadow Isle history video (idk i havent checked or watched any of these so the vids might be good or bad i have no idea) so that could be a decent react video if you are interested in Shadow Isles, as Necrit manages to summarize tons of scattered lore into one, much more digestable video. But again i havent watched them so i cant say if they are good or not, just that Necrit usually does a good job with lore vids. Personally though you have basically already done a video on every champ whos story/voicelines reaction i am interested in so im just patiently waiting for potential part 2s to some of your first few reactions :) (this is not to say that i wont watch any new vids tho ofc). But i know for a fact theres a bunch more characters that other people want you to react to like Tahm Kench and Ionians (Zed, Shen) and Shurimans (Azir, Nasus, Xerath). Also perhaps doing more vids on important events that happened in the lore or Legends of Runeterra card interactions (SkinSpotlights has good vids and i would suggest starting with more general Region card interaction - for example Noxus or Shadow Isles) could also be fun to mix up between the usual character lore dives. A lot of people underestimate LoR cards and interactions, imo they add a lot of, albeit noncannonical, but still great flavor to everything, and its a great place to get a more general idea of what characters and places are like and picking the ones you are interested in for a bigger lore dive. Not to mention getting to see actual good art for units, places or landmarks is pretty cool and makes the universe feel a lot more alive.

The Ruination book is pretty long for a video, maybe a review on each chapter or a general review once you finish it? The shadow isles are still with the black mist even though Viego was banished in Camavor at the end of sentinels of light story. So Yorick has still pretty much a lot of work. Maokai is the spirit of the forest that once was in the blessed isles. Along Yorick, it is another character that tries to fend off the mist. That Mordekaiser was the pre rework Mordekaiser (pre-VGU is pre rework btw, it means Visual and Gameplay Update I think). The new Mordekaiser has nothing to do with the shadow isles even though his color palette seems similar. Maybe you could do a revisit to the first champions you reacted to and check each of their trivia and relations in one video? Also, Idk if you have already checked it but Aatrox interactions in LoR are also pretty interesting. And the wiki page on "Darkin" lists all the known darkins.

[@FallenGranny]

+1 to both of those suggestions at the end, also reacting to more LoR card interactions in general would be a good idea, i made a comment detailing more about it. A lot of people sleep on LoR but it adds so much flavor to the characters (albeit noncannonical) as well as visualizing a lot of locations/concepts in the form of card art, its pretty good ngl. For example i learned way more about what actual units and soldiers of each region look like (or which region has what sort of units) and how they function through LoR, its a great addendum to the overall story for sure.

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

There's a recent story called "The Will of the Dead", featuring Yorick and Illaoi, two priests of different religions. It's... rather sweet at times, and definitely cements Yorick as a good guy.

[@Hiro_Merutsu]

I recommend you to read the book "The Ruination" after you look stories of Viego, Kalista, Hecarim, Thresh and Ryze. (Maybe Soraka but not too important.)

[@thewallpersonified3152]

Yorick 100% wants his immortality to end. His only goal was to kill viego and lay the shadow isles to rest. He is fueled solely by revenge, otherwise he would have probably removed the water by now. It's why in his voice lines he wants kindred to take him soon and he says singed can have his immortality. He spent all of his life alone, rejected by those around him for being different. Now, he's truly alone and has been alone for hundreds of years. He is tired and exhausted

[@dumodshorts9766]

I think Yorick actually needed a Nerf recently because he was broken. Players figured out a crazy build for him or something.

[@mazafaka9016]

Pls Sion

[@alligator8070]

React to Renekton and Nasus pls

[@AvanteReacts]
