Cept they don't give you offensive stats. Manamune makes him actually do damage.

If you want to be all tanky never die spam ghouls that's fine and all, but if you're gonna get frozen heart/bv anyways why not get a manamune?

Bump. Is it just me, or does Xerath hardcounter Yorick top lane(I know, Xerath top lane, I'm not 30 yet)?

Just Locus-Chains-Pulse at level 4 takes out a huge amount of health, and even with E at 3 I can't sustain.

manamune doesnt give that much dmg, tbh. I really like tear, so I usually end up getting it on yorick anyways, but it's not for the dmg. If there were a defensive tear item, I would take it in a heartbeat

A question about his core item, Manamune

If I max the passive on Tear and I turn the item into Manamune, will the maxed passive transfer over to Manamune?

I think Manamune is a great item on Yorick but a mistake I've been seeing on a lot of Yoricks during this free week is that they rush it after getting tears. Upgrading it too early isn't a great use of gold because you don't get much AD if it isn't sufficiently charged, and most of the time it's better to build a glacial or whatever situational item the lane calls for. But then again, I suppose this is just a more particular part of the whole "I have no idea wtf I'm doing with items in lane" where people build retarded things like wriggles against AP champs or rushing trinity when you're severely behind in lane.

Someone mentioned in GD that tear really doesn't offer any combat stats to yorick so you can't really engage on people. You have to kite them around.

Take for example two yoricks that are identical in runes, masteries, summoners, skilling sequence, and levels. They both go to the middle of the lane to beat each other up. One yorick has a tear, and the other has a negatron cloak. The one with the negatron cloak should win almost all the time. But if one yorick came to lane with a tear, and the other with a pickaxe, then as long as the yorick with tear never hard engaged on a trade, then eventually he'd win the lane through just having more mana.

For most lanes I just try to imagine my opponent is a yorick with a pickaxe.

Also I think it is a good idea to rush manamune if you're getting tear. Advanced/Legendary items tend to be more efficient than base items so the gold you spend to upgrade items gives you more than you'd get if you spent the same gold on a few sapphire crystals, meki pendants, and long swords. It doesn't matter that tear won't be fully charged. And with manamune, your mana will charge up faster with autoattacks.

Also, I don't think manamune is necessary to yorick. Yorick's skilling order is
E W E Q E R E W
That means he won't have a second mana efficient skill until level 8. Early harass comes almost entirely from E and if you blow all your mana on harassing with inefficient skills you'll run out of mana.
