just want to add in here that yorick completely destroys akali, it's not even a close matchup. even if akali manages to get a kill on you, you can be up by 30+ cs by the 10 minute mark. if the enemy team is taking akali, get your yorick on!

I played this hero for the first time just now, and he doesn't seem to be that powerful to me.
I lost 1on1 pretty hard to a Riven.
I think I understand him quite well, but his damage output is just not really up there.
nope

Not for nothing, but one game is not really a good basis to form an opinion on

Well as I said I understand him quite well, and I based my opinion on the damage I dished out on enemy heroes.

well if you look at his skills the damage numbers don't seem high

but when your ghouls are out, each does a third of your autoattack damage(the Q ghoul does more than that with a fixed amount), and you also get 15% extra damage (which feeds back into the ghouls' damage)

more or less you get a 2.5 multiplier on your autoattacks, which really demolishes people.
I suggest testing this on dominion, yorick does ridiculous damage on the first lvl4 fight
And all is illuminated.

If you're trying to straight up exchange blows in a protracted battle as Yorick against someone who's also full hp/full mana in lane you're doing it wrong.

The gayest thing about Yorick is that he can just stand back at levels 1-3. Spam E and W on you until you're like 50%. Then when he hits 4 he grabs Q and just runs to you and starts QWEQWEQWEQWE on you and rapes you because you have less HP than him and his passive is sick.

Yorick is a master of attrition. That doesn't mean you play like a retard and a-move faceroll into your opponent starting level 1 or 2 or even 3. It means you hang back, spam your shit and just wait til you have that HP edge then you go all kungfu on them.

Even if you can't straight up kill your opponent, E is both harass and sustain (not to mention ranged) put together. They are going in for a last hit? E them. It will keep them away from the creeps to allow you to free farm and possibly kill them if they really get greedy and want those last hits.

My point is how can you say you understand a champion quite well having only played him once?

How did you build him?
Runes/Masteries?
Skilling Order?

What did Riven do to demolish you so hard?

is Yorick supposed to be just pretty tanky with not the greatest damage output? I'm not too impressed with his damage (let alone sustained damage) even with gunblade, trinity force and manamune.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

Yorick is supposed to just be a dick in lane and be able to keep the other guy in lane from really being able to do anything, including farming.

R>E>Q>W or R>E>W>Q

Manamune is pretty core on him 'cause you need the mana pool and mana regen. Most people just go Atmogs after manamune, maybe a FoN or SV for mr. Triforce for more damage.

Yorick doesn't have the huge numbers and burst that some other solo tops have. What Yorick brings is the ability to be immovable in lane while being able to be a giant dick to his opponent. In teamfights, his ulti is really strong when used on your ranged carry. He's also a pretty strong diver as he's kinda hard to peel with his Q and W and once you get manamune atmogs his sustained whacking is pretty powerful.

Practicing Yorick tonight in Normals, I found Yorick's arch rival in a solo-top lane: a duo lane comprised of Yorick and TF. Haha. So that game sucked, but then played in the next game against Irelia. If it wasn't for the meddling Jungle Yi, I really would have had my way with her. I was afraid her regen would outlast me, and it just wasn't the case. I was really pushing her around in the lane. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, game was 4v5 so it ended poorly, but I enjoyed Yorick so far. I do notice that I'm not getting boots quick enough. I was getting kited so badly. Not so much when I tried to escape, but when I was one hit from killing the enemy they just seemed to outrun me.

I played yorick for the first time today, in jungle, and it was so easy and fast I'm surprised he isn't ever really put in that slot. I guess the few people who actually enjoy playing him like to abuse his laning but frankly his jungle seems ridiculous too. Those W ganks are pretty strong.

Yorick jungle has been decent all along, it just got completely outshined by his god-tier laning after he got his big buff.

The biggest issue I had from testing Yorick jungle during his free week was how slow it was. He has near-Warwick level sustain, but his clear speed is way below par. But this was also before his everything got a buff, and I didn't have proper runes for it, so that's probably not an issue anymore.
