Maybe it's just me, but I find it nearly goddamn impossible to manually target ghouls for autoattacks, yet they always get in the way of attacking, well, anything else. It's ridiculously annoying.
Did you notice an influx of bad players in ranked games since the announcement of the end of the season? I spent several months playing only draft normals, and while I got my (very generous) share of players stupid, cocky or simply not very good, it seems like it's been way worse since I went back into ranked games. Worse than in my memories too (and my worst memories were down 250 Elo compared to now).

Well, if you have been playing only normals for a long time, it's likely your normals elo went up due to improvement but your ranked elo is still the same / decaying. The end of season is probably an effect too, probably lots of people jumping into ranked just to get some reward when they otherwise wouldn't.

How can you be complaining about him when you've never put any effort into learning how to win versus him? The best way to learn how to win a match up is play from the other guy's perspective and see what rapes you. If you manage to climb a lot of elo with him then congratulations, but there will come a point where people will start beating you no matter what. I can't take anyone complaining about his kit who never played him ever seriously If you actually tried really hard winning against him, the lane probably wouldn't be such a hassle. It's like playing vs darius, really obnoxious and hard until you learn how to do it
A character that safely farms 1v2 lanes doesn't seem like a hill many 1v1 lanes could climb.
All this whining makes me feel REALLY bad for sucking with Yorick. /cry Today, a Volibear of all things farmed me in lane, died once to his passive (did use Ignite to early, forgot about his Heal summoner), once to a gank and two times he dove me...
Also, I really suck at last hitting with many of the older champs like him. I'm bad. =(

Wukong and earlier are old champs to me. That's when I started playing.
How does LiquidParty hate Yorick so much but likes Nunu? Just played it for the first time, and even though there's no ghouls chasing you, you're permanently slowed, he heals for retarded amounts and is pretty much unmovable once he gets Chalice. I pretty much felt like god and outsustained a W maxing Lee. They're essentially equally obnoxious. Buncha hypocrites.

I'm not a hypocrite, I hate playing against nunu's as well. Fucking wall. Never leaves lane, EVER.

I just think it's strange that one of the biggest adversaries of Yorick invents a build that does essentially the same and everyone's like HERPADERP THAT'S COOL I GUESS

yea, that too. what a stupid character, riot, remove plz .
I liked it a lot better when he was borderline unplayable.
I have always said, and will maintain, that Yorick is the most poorly designed character in the game.
nah, shaco and vlad are probably the two worst champion designs i think riot has even said that vlad is the one champ they wish they could remove from the game/never have added him 0% chance that those two would be released today. rumble and yorick follow closely behind though (and kennen a not-so-distant 5th)
while vlad and shaco definitely have stupid kits, kennen is in a pretty balanced sweet spot imo. Probably was the case pre nerfs but i dont think so now

Autowarn for every post which contains "yorick".
I'm glad he is rather gankable.

You better be playing ranged champion against him or its gonna be a nightmare.
Recently I played against a solo top nunu as jayce, which wasnt that hard. Luckily every gank on him was a kill, thats one of his weaknesses. Also I find him completly untradeable as most of the meele champions, just don't bother. Early vamp scepter might be handy, maybe turn lane into farm fest.
My question: Do you use any custom keybindings/ know interesting settings of popular players? Nowadays I'm using really odd setup: 1-2-3-4 portraits of champions ( I usually don't smartcast most of the buffs/shields to avoid mess in teamfights) T is my default smartcast Q skill Q is smartcast of 1st item, which is usually activatable f1-f5 other items.
Nunu top doesn't work that well when you say you've taken consume at 1 and your jungler insists on ganking Riven at level 1, giving her an assist and getting you zoned because he insisted so much the enemy Amumu had time to take both his buffs then counter the "gank" with Mundo still 2. T_T
Need to play him more though, I'm sure I could still have beaten a 0-0-2 Riven with a level and 10cs on me. Would have taken time prob. though.
Also Nunu > Yorrick because playing Nunu is fun. The sheer idea of his ult makes him fun. The way he walks makes him fun. His laugh makes him fun. Towerdiving people and tanking the shots is fun... well, it is to some people (Udyr/Panth/Mundo ftw, towerdive all day). Yorrick doesn't have nearly as much "personality" as a champ. :/
