... 0K seriously how do you lane against Aatrox? What is the... this champ requires even less thought or pretense of skill that Darius does to function.
Even with W level 1 his sustain beats Vlad's till later, beats Irelia's with Hiten Style active till it's level 3 or something...
And it has no cooldown.

And then you add his passive.


Of course you can gank him. But if he gets a 1 for 1 thanks to his passive you're fucked. And he can dodge ganks with Q. Oh, and his E is also a strong ranked nuke and pushing/harass tool.

How the fuck are you supposed to lane vs him unless you're able to just shove the wave whenever you like, or are ranged?


You need to figure out how to get him off of creeps. Do a good(great) trade, and then position yourself so you can punish every creep he touches. He can CS with his E, but that's just more HP in your favor. Save resources when he's below 50% so you can burst him to zero with ignite.


And IMO his passive is retarded. Absolutely no reason he needs to be invulnerable for the duration. Should be takes reduced damage at best, because free GA is dumb.

Yeah, so as I thought you need to outtrade him really, really, really hard (which means burst because his dumb as fuck W lets him sustain any dps-oriented fight), and then still be able to beat him in a 1v1 spells on cooldown fight so you can keep him off creeps, and then somehow manage to have a wave pushing your way so you can freeze otherwise he's just going to give up 5 cs so he can heal to full as soon as the wave reaches his tower and you have to do it all over again.

Of course when you outtrade him you have not to use ignite or any stuff that you'd need in an all-in otherwise he'll just ignore you, and you have to remain high health enough that he can't just say "0K, whatever, I'll sack my passive on this trade but as soon as I revive I all-in and kill you".

...

This champ design is even more mind-bogglingly retarded than Yorick. "Fun" they say. Wtf. And if you fall a tiny bit behind (or aren't able to outtrade him 1v1 to begin with, which is probably the case of a lot of champions) then then you automatically lose the lane.
Such great counterplay and healthy "top lane" design.
What.

Don't even compare Aatrox to Yorick. At least Aatrox has to get to you to deal damage and can be dodged/traded with instead of herp derp click minions herp derp they attack you for half your health and heal me from the other side of the lane.

That said Aatrox is pretty fucking good against Yorick lol

You can gank Yorick, he deals less damage, he actually has a resource bar before his first back. He's harder to kill because ghoul spam = 5 to 20% damage reduction (and you don't want to kill the ghouls because it'd take you more than the damage reduced by Yorick), and before level 6 (and even after in a way) if you kill him, well... he's dead.
He also doesn't scale nearly as well, nor does he 1v1 as well in general out of lane, and he sucks way more at killing towers. He's much less useful in teamfights.

I mean, I'm not forgiving the damned soul who designed Yorick. I'm just saying some twisted dude apparently took on the challenge to make even worse.

Did I see someone say Malz's sustained DPS was bad?

His sustained DPS is actually insane. The thing is you have to build a comp around it for it to be reliable (Q is hardish to hit and it's hard to get a respectable duration of W onto someone). Again Ult is largely icing on the cake and it works great with W.

Also Aatrox's 1v1 is a teensy bit silly.

You guys are way over rating the importance of malz ult. I'm not claiming he's good or anything cuz I have no idea, but even when he was a top champion ult was strictly a cleanup skill in team fights, or some cc for a pick on a facechecker .

His strength is that his aoe is massive and it scales really well, it's just so unreliable that they've never really been able to get it to a good place balance wise. You do not pick him for the ult, even without qss around its just not that amazing a skill. people just fixate on it because it's flashy, it's his iconic skill, but you could just replace it with any number of generic ults like an ap version of lucian's, or veigar's, and he'd probably be better in teamfights.

His ult is pretty good at setting up ganks

imo, they should buff Malz's base damages by a lot, and lower his scaling. Stick the support tag on him and all's good.

Malz would be a pretty good support if he wasn't so farm dependent. Large aoe 3 second silence, pretty good zone control with void zone thingie since it absolutely melts shit that doesn't move out of it, long-ass single target disable. W's out of place for a support skill set, but meh nothing's perfect.

His sustained dps is great, it's jsut easily countered by QSS, which makes fitting him in a team comp a huge problem. You really don't want one of your carries practically nullfied by a single, relatively cheap, item.

You can walk out of his W, Q is more of a lucky-shot than a "im incredible at hitting" and his E is only good for pushing. Where exactly is the sustained dps in a kit like his?

People still complain about Yorick? He's really really bad. After the Muramana nerfs he's been unplayable except maybe in some protect-the-vayne comps.

read post, it's about team fights. and honestly the ult is pretty strong for ganks in absolute terms, but relative to other standard mid assists it's just above average.

'cept the part where I don't talk about his competitiveness but how stale and boring it is to lane against him. Doesn't need to be good later to be an horrendous design.

Also EUW seems to have random huge lags. Good thing for me I was playing Vi so as long as I was near people the autos would do their job, but choosing a target was really hard at times, including for my ult (and try to ult a Fizz during a cc before he can E or Zhonya when you're not sure what's happening).
Another person had the same in my last game (I thought he was dc'd at one point) and neither my displayed ping nor my latency seemed to be changing.

So I'm guessing EUW's servers are having some kind of trouble again. Welp. :/

Yeah. Yorick is niche and requires specific picks to remain relevant, but that doesn't stop him from being a giant cunt to everyone he lanes against and require no skill to do so.

How can you be surprised by euw lagging?That is the same as the sky being blue.

Also I hope vi ult gets nerfed.I don't really care about the champ but her ult being imposible to dodge no matter what you do is just stupid.Every single other cc in the game has counterplay(banshee doesn't count since it's rather easy to get rid of).Nauti ult is the only similar mechanic but its a lot weaker because it is slower.

Seems people just have some PTSD for Yorick. He's far less of a cunt than a lot of the top laners these days.

I can't think of many other tops that are as braindead to play as Yorick is once he gets Tear. Even the strong ones have counterplay/require a measure of skill to dominate with.
