How to counter Yorick

how to counter yorick: STAY THE FCK IN LANE

[@depthmapping]

As a Warwick Top OTP, Warwick is one of the hardest Yorick Counters. You stomp him early, you can heal off of his ghouls and Maiden, you can q out of his cage and you pretty much almost win the all in with W active and E

[@mati4193]

What rank

[@DraconicedgePD]

Irellia negates his gouls

[@ruby_240]

As a yorick top, if yorick plays safe early and just build anti heal+dirk, ww is lost

[@potatoadw9387]

​@@ruby_240Yeah, as a ww main as well when Yorick starts to get those dmg items it starts to get really hard to win fights or trades since he just deals so much dmg. I guess the only way is to win early and build a solid lead.

[@mspectrum]

@@ruby_240 lowkey a good ww would never leave a lane without being like 2k ahead, he can stand in front of yorick lvl 1 and just deny all XP and heal back if yorick decides to trade, since yorick has a shit lvl 1 to 3 lane is already over before it even starts lol

[@liheku]

More fact about how to counter Yorick : Tabi works on ghouls. Frozen Heart reduces the attack speed of Yorick, ghouls and maiden. Worst counter of Yorick is Warwick and Jax. If you play Morde against Yorick, always pick flash/ghost or he will be able to kite you in your ult.

[@dragonboytsubasa]

Just don't 1v1 Yorick as Morde period. Even with Flash/Ghost a good Yorick player will still juke him in Brazil. Everything else is spot on though.

[@ThundrStrik]

His biggest counter is 100% shyvana. It's absurd how easy that matchup is. He turbo loses post 6.

[@TDeane]

Fiora vs Yorick is also completely free. Just dodge his E with your Q and keep track of your Q cd to be able to leave his W and you auto win most fights. You can also use the wall raising from the ground to stun him with your parry (the wall displacing you counts as hard CC)

[@gabrielemasi9983]

I can see you all are not main Yorick. Ban is Irelia or Tryndamere depending on the meta and so on who you see more often, the rest can be menaged.

[@vitrais1797]

My OTP champion is YORICK (2M+ points on all possible accounts, once #4 Yorick on EUNE) and my highest elo was low Diamond (due to persistent lack of macro-knowledge). Yorick is a minion-based champion (like Heimerdinger, Illaoi, Malzahar, Zyra etc.). As such, rid him off his ghouls and maiden first, so you’ll make him COMPLETELY useless, especially in all-in situations. Hence, always look for a safe opportunity to do so. -- Yorick ALWAYS has to organize the spawn of his ghouls, he can never fight right away but with his maiden. Apart from maiden, Yorick ALWAYS needs your minion wave to summon ghouls, so zone Yorick away from your minions. -- Yorick’s maiden (summoning ghouls from fallen enemies and empowering Yorick’s attacks against a single target) has a very long cooldown (160s / 130s / 100s). (killing maiden makes every Yorick player very upset :)) -- If you can’t kill maiden very quickly or in safer situation, don’t be an idiot trying to kill it anyway while being exposed to Yorick’s full attack. -- Ghouls may seem durable, but they are set to die by AA or AA-based ability (Irelia’s Q, Yasuo’s Q etc.). -- Despite maiden and ghouls, making him a very powerful duelist in a fight, it isn’t something what would make Yorick a hyper-carry champion, so one on one, he can be easily stomped later by more powerful duelist (Jax, Fiora, Yone etc.) even with maiden and all ghouls. Due to his minion-based reliance, Yorick’s priority in a fight is a ghoul control and spacing concerning immobilizing enemies. Yorick’s E (mainly making Yorick and his ghouls engage you while slowing you) is his SOLE engage option / harass option. -- Feel free to attack Yorick after seeing him use E on your minions / after missing his E on you. -- You can completely block it by Yasuo’s and Samira’s W, if timed. Yorick’s W (cage) is his main disengage, immobilizing and overall fight-management option. -- You can simply negate it by every terrain-passing dash ability (Fiora’s Q, Tryndamere’s E etc.) or you can destroy it by AA or AA-based ability - the faster, the better. -- It has a longest cooldown of his base abilities (20s / 18s / 16s / 14s / 12s). -- Don’t TP away near Yorick, he can knock you up by proper placing of his W. Apart his possible movement speed bonuses, Yorick himself is completely immobile and lacks hard CC. -- If you can dash more than once, you have a crucial advantage against Yorick. Yorick has the best splitpushing and overall one of the best objective-secure capabilities in the game. He is able to push every single lane all the way down at once without even being there and he utilizes usual anti-turret stuff (Demolish rune, Voidgrub buff, Hullbreaker etc.). Furthermore for your consideration, it takes Yorick just a level 6 to solo clear Voidgrub camp in 30s, just one full item to solo kill Rift Herald in 20s and just two full items to solo kill Nashor. -- Minimize the time you let Yorick alone on the lane, you’ll quickly pay with your turrets and inhibitors otherwise. -- Try your best to not let Yorick get a Voidgrub buff, even his pushing maiden is able to trigger it. -- THE BEST COUNTERPICKS AGAINST YORICK (from my experience) + use Ignite for complete torment Warwick (with Barrier) A champion invalidating every Yorick’s attempts to harass or fight. With even conditions, any Yorick’s damage output NEVER beats WW’s healing (regardless of anti-heal item). Absolutely no counterplay from Yorick’s perspective, non-existent chance of winning. -- WW’s E causes ghouls and maiden to flee away while mitigating incoming damage from Yorick himself, preventing Yorick from every all-in attempt. -- Yorick can’t engage or disengage WW with his cage whatsoever. Trapped WW can escape by engaging Yorick with Q / R or can simply use E and chill. -- Yorick’s maiden is extremely susceptible to WW’s attacks, he’ll kill her in a few bites while tanking all the damage and then healing it all back. Irelia A champion indirectly designed to counter Yorick at almost every aspect and Yorick players’ favorite permaban, especially on high elo. No counterplay from Yorick’s perspective. -- Most importantly, Irelia can use Q all over Yorick’s ghouls, oneshotting them while empowering herself. She doing so, makes Yorick’s W completely useless. Tryndamere A super-cringe champion easily able to outdamage, outsustain and overall outperform Yorick. Yorick has no natural survival options. No counterplay from Yorick’s perspective. -- Yorick sends ghouls after Tryndamere, Tryndamere spins away and heals. :) -- Yorick slows down or traps Tryndamere, Tryndamere spins away or towards Yorick, slowing him down and autoattacking him to his death while being immortal. :) -- If killing Yorick at once is too risky, he spins away again and heals. :) -- Yorick goes all-in, Tryndamere kills maiden, uses R and autoattacks Yorick to his death. :) Urgot An absolute menace to Yorick in direct fight in lane, a very durable duelist champion with painful zoning capability. A very little counterplay from Yorick’s perspective. -- Urgot’s W oneshots ghouls and destroys Yorick’s W instantly, making trading for Yorick practically impossible. If going for a big trade or all-in, Yorick has to expose himself to Urgot’s W and further attack in order to not get his ghouls killed or his W destroyed (by Urgot’s W). -- Urgot is one of the few champions, who, given their R, can take Yorick down without killing his maiden first. Jax Better duel opportunities, mobility, better survivability, better scaling, even splitpush performance. A little counterplay from Yorick’s perspective. -- Jax can easily negate Yorick’s harass attempts with E. -- Jax can solve Yorick’s W either by leaping over or by instantly destroying with AA+W. -- Yorick’s maiden is a very susceptible against Jax’s AA burst. Gwen, Fiora, Riven, Yasuo Champions having in common extreme mobility, lane pressure, superior scaling tied with much superior damage output and even splitpush capability. From Yorick’s perspective, a little to moderate counterplay in lane phase, due to high mastery demands. No counterplay later on. -- All-in situations are very favorable to mentioned champions, they are even adapted to deal with Yorick’s trades more or less unharmed. -- Yorick’s W, as if, doesn’t exist in those matchups.

What about sett? I see hin having very good stats against him but I really cant see why

[@terryskalaba]

@@typerj.simpson6519 against bruiser or tank yorick you counter him with Q,R mostly if you are against leth yorick then the W does the most work!! In general yorick is good how to take the objectives not to solo kill some1. in laning phase it depent who will make the 1st move to kill each other!! A good yorick's player will all in only if you are under 45% of your hp and you havent a good heal ready or at all (like morde's W or WW's Q). also the problem with yorick is his poke with his E+ghouls. In the end all the champs he said in the text above yorick can counter them easy.

[@Precigian]

@@pump7683 Man, Yorick is a top lane melee mage. Playing ranged high attack speed champs or high damage Bruisers is the way to counter it. Don't cry just because of the champs you choose to play or the way you are playing into yorick. You are getting hit by an easy to dodge, slow and small skill like yorick's E while he has ghouls. You either control your wave better so yorick doesn't summon ghouls or you don't get hit by E when he has ghouls. His ghouls will just walk into turret and die in one hit anyway. He can't control it. Learn to play around it, that's all. You could also just pick another champ into him. You don't know how to play irelia/mordekaiser? Pick Cho gath and eat his wife. Yorick's ult takes 3 minutes to recharge. Cho gath's ult takes 60 seconds. Just walk up, press R, you get a stack, 50 gold and some xp. Of course, if you are the Yorick and you have to play vs irelia/mordekaiser/cho gath, you'd think those champs are unbalanced and need NeRf. But that's just the magic of mach ups. Accept that not all champs are the same and you have to learn to play around them.

[@gicrueldad9520]

Movement and Dashes, he is a walking turret with no engage options besides getting you with E. Irelia and mostly Fiora hardcounters him. Last I checked, like 3-4 seasons ago, Darius outlasts him too, Morde cannot win against a trade in which he reach all the passive stacks, Garen probably does too with a good W proc to negate 1 Q in a trade, Jax can force a trade and prevent him from getting his passive on with E since Morde needs at least 1 AA to trigger it in lane, assuming it uses and hits E and even Q, so if rushing a full or even half an item Jax can probably jump straight into him and win, even with Minions since Morde wants to ult in an All-out anyway to get the enemy stats.

There isn't much explanation. Just know that resistences are taken into account when dealing damage through a shield. Execute abilities like Pyke R and Urgot R ignore shields.

[@emanuelgualterio681]

Don't take extended fights against Mordekaiser, he wins them due to passive, main counterpick is Renekton (Morde wants to fight with W to deny your damage, Renekton empowered W destroys shields), get mobis because he'll rush Liandry and run you down with passive otherwise, other counters are Riven, Fiora, Trundle, Jax... Don't ever play a tank against Mordekaiser in case he's the only AP (If he's the only AP on his team he'll chunk your HP anyways because his passive does Max HP% damage and you'll probably lose lane, not have enough gold to compensate having lost lane and be screwed by an AD) Always keep in mind Morde's W (the white line under his health bar), if it's filled, bait him into a fight so he uses it, and pushes against you (you can ask your jungle for ganks since he'll push lane because of it), if it's not full, go for a trade but get out so he doesn't even it or chunk you out due to passive, his E has a large cooldown, so once it's down you can enter fight him too... Mostly you play that lane to outscale him or to punish his mistakes depending on your champion... Don't pick something you're not comfortable with against him...

volibear episode please?? i struggle with him a lot

[@emanuelgualterio681]

Anti heal is a good choice due to W, if you're an assassin, Serpent's fang (to negate his shield), duelists and champs with mobility are good and solid choices (Jax, Riven, Fiora), don't try to play an early game champion if you're not comfortable enough with the matchup... Always consider that most Volibear players will try to either cheese early game, or play very aggro, so going a tank isn't a good choice (Voli will poke you out of lane with passive, few trades when you try to farm, and will dive you), this can be punished by a few champs, and that Voli loves extended fights... Despite Volibear doing mixed damage (AP and AD) you want Tabi boots because his passive gives him AS, his Q, and his W, all do AD damage You have many different ways to deal with Volibear, regarding picks, Aatrox is a decent pick against him because you can kite him (He needs to get on top of you), Riven can also screw him up, Fiora if you time your W, you can parry either his Q or his E, negating a lot of his damage, Illaoi can also do things against him because he is an all in champ, his hitbox is quite big and his main mobility/engage is towards you, so landing an E on him is easy, plus since he wants to All in, he'll lose if you freeze wave near your tower and keep yourself healthy (If you see his E on you, you can W on a minion to get away), Jax can easily decide if he wants to fight or not and to dodge his W, negating his heal... If you want AP choices, Sylas can give a decent fight, Vladimir can survive, Kennen if you can kite and know how to space yourself... It's crucial that you either: Avoid early game cheese by Volibear (if he comes ignite expect the PTA + Q start + ignite trade and don't approach bushes), and starve him off kills, it's very good to pick burst oriented champions or those that can simply kite him, keeping up with his sustain is also a decent choice (Vladimir). Don't try to fight him on extended trades (His E deals a truckload of damage and grants him a shield, he'll heal it all with W, and he'll simply run you down)...

[@rixardor9087]

tell us how to counter

[@DarkerKitsune]

@@rixardor9087 well, there is alot to talk about how yorick and his ghouls work, but i summarize 3 big counter plays that can make him a bit more useless 1st- i will reveal a secret that many yorick mains dont want anyone to know, Yorick is useless, im serius, Yorick's power comes from the maiden and his ghouls, Ghouls have a wierd mechanic, they can survive almost every spell but will die even to a soraka basic attack, so you want to survive kite them when they jump at you, The maiden heals and enhances Yorick's basic attack and helps him summon more gouls, so if you are hit with the E kite back killing the ghouls and hit her while she runs back, if you can kill her, then yorick wont be such a threat, his R has like 2min of cooldown. 2nd- good counter picks are, Urgot, Irelia and rennecton, other counters would be champs with really good early and can abuse Yorick's masive weakness at lvl 1-3, usually he would be forced to wait in tower and to make him more useless, I sugest watching how to freeze minions to make yorick wait more for his power spike at lvl 6. 3rd- from gold to diamond yorick has another weakness, he is a play opener (or better called oportunitie opener), Yorick is a masive threat when he split pushes, and what players dont understand about his particular play style is that he is weak in TF but massively overpower pusher, beating even trundle/sion and tryndamere, being the only champion to push even 3 lines at the same time even if he is behind, but usually his teamates dont understand this either, this makes the enemy team having to deal with him, missing the oportunity for drake or baron or to prevent the enemy team from leaving usually having to deal with Yorick. the point of this is that Yorick is spendable, and Yorick Teamates need to choose to either take an objective while 1 to 3 enemy go stop yorick or risk losing more than one tower or to help buy time for him, this makes most people annoyed with Yorick for not helping them take the objectives or to be dumb enough to go help him split push, this wastes time and makes other desicions dificult, because you now cant take baron against 4 players with 3 players when Yorick and another player is fending off one enemy, making them mad and taking bad desitions, i lost count of the times i lost games because of this problem. TLDR for 3rd, if you see yorick pushing, take and objective, hunt an enemy team who is alone, and ONLY send one person to deal with him if he is not feed just to defend (make sure its not an adc, if he is full lethality the adc will die)

If You are Bellow plat, the Yorick only fight You if he hits his E first (the thing that slows You down), if he is

[@krzysztofputerko1943]

Chogath is also a great counter vs Yorick because he can oneshot Maiden with his ulti pre lvl 11 and stacks gained from it are from pets so it doesn't count towards 6 stacks cap from creeps

How to counter Yone - i hate that guy

[@Super_Top_Secret_Area]

I once heard that 1 item Yorick+maiden deal damage comparable to Vayne with 3 items. I don't know how true that is but I won't question it at the moment. By the way, do you accept song suggestions? I thought Pokémon Mansion could be cool for Camille; Professor Sycamore's theme for Fiora because French, Indigo Plateau for Skarner and that sandwich song from SV for Gragas.

[@iab3569]

of course yorick, who has nothing except for damage, with his entire setup, is gonna deal more damage than a ranged super mobile invisible champion that deals true damage and has cc

[@dreamergamer9291]

@@iab3569its kind of well known how much damage bruisers can dish out if their conditions are met (Darius 5 stacks, aatrox 3 Qs sweet spot, and of course yorick with alot of ghouls+maiden)

[@iab3569]

@@dreamergamer9291 thats what im saying

[@Bogdan-ll3fp]

Yorick has 3 builds that he can swap up on the fly so, the pro counter tip is just aa the ghouls

[@N2ZGaming]

Cho gath can ult his maiden on cooldown

[@josephd.3654]

Is the item Warlord's Bloodmail good on K'sante? That's a new build right now for him, but after using ult, will he get restricted due to the limit of max HP?

[@Moakmeister]

Yorick, the champion designed for monkeys.

[@dtthalcyon9690]

Another hard counter to yorick is Urgot. W up and every goul just die before touching Urgot.

[@dragonboytsubasa]

Mordekaiser is not the counter you think he is (If anything the opposite is true). Even without his ghouls Yorick can still juke Morde while in Brazil as E is easy to dodge, W can be used to either trap him inside or force a merry go round situation, Yorick's E also has a slow so he can keep away and if used right before returning from Brazil then Morde's about to get jumped by Yorick's wife and kids who are waiting on the other side. Jax and Irelia on the other hand, are very much hard counters who will give Yorick a terrible time. Another hard counter to include is Tryndamere. We don't like him either.

Love your vid alots. Can you do sett next time

[@hazmat7118]

ok, but which is the best counter against him? Jax? Renekton? mordekaiser? xin zhao? what?

[@kasjsi5048]

as a yorick main, my favorite matchup is mord

[@konkey9209]

Mordekaiser is actually not very bad for yorick at all. As long as yorick just holds his w for mord r and kites around it properly he basically escapes the situation for free. I would go for tryndamere as a second counter instead as he outpushes yorick, completely gaps him early, kills his maiden instantly, gets out of w for free with his e, and can just run him down after due to his immobile nature.

[@sinnis4993]

mordekaiser should never ult until that w is on cd. morde beats yorick in every stage of the game. its one of the most one-sided matchups to ever exist.

can you make a video about how to counter volibear

[@mati4193]

Yorick with no ult is useless, cho gath pre 6 looses to yorick but if you can stay even with him until level 6 you can just chomp his ult and delete it. Cho ult will come back up twice for each yorick ult so spend your 1st ult to get rid of maiden and your second to win fights against him. See Tyler1 use chogath against yorick for a good example

[@shadezman]

Just stay in the fucking lane and don't let him push to the nexus in 15 minutes

[@AlexanderVolzing]

Cho Gath is by far the strongest champion vs Yorick not only does Cho heal more from killing his passive than they do DMG to him he also One shots Yoricks Ult from full HP with his own Ult. Yorick can theoretically still win duels vs champions like Irelia with only his Ult and Sustained DMG + Healing from his Q when building bruiser/off tank, so these champions mainly just counter Lethality Yorick, don't get me wrong those champions are still super strong vs Bruiser Yorick, however Chogath counters Yorick COMPLETLY he can effectively nullify his passive and his Ult instantaneously with no counterplay

[@AlexanderVolzing]

also want to say that people often fight Yorick with his Maiden up, this makes the fight a literal 1v2. killing his Maiden before going all in is going to massively increase your chances of winning the duel (junglers should also use smite on maiden since it does full DMG to her, giving maximum value in a fight)

[@dreamergamer9291]

@@AlexanderVolzing explain how you kill his maiden when you re going to put yourself in harms way trying to do so?

[@AlexanderVolzing]

@@dreamergamer9291 once Yorick's maiden locks onto a target it's hard to make her stop, so if she attacks your tower kill her and then look for an all in, if Yorick plays back so that the maiden doesn't push you basically just have a free lane to afk farm in

[@Name-bf4ko]

@@AlexanderVolzing A good Yorick would recognise this and always position Maiden behind him. And Yorick comes out ahead from being even in lane so allowing yhe lane to afk farm for both side is bad for cho gath.
