Yorick is one of those champions that you don’t really think about. You don’t ban him, you beat him in lane, and grovel just a little when he takes some of your tower plates, as he took teleport and you didn’t. Then you go help your team with dragon, and suddenly, a thousand pings of “Top canyon” as he ends the game.
Very good video, one thing to add on is that Chempunk and Serpent's Fang works on ghouls damage and also mid Guardian Angel animation, ghouls and maiden is still active
So Maiden doesn’t go on CD when you pop GA? Or she does and just stays while in the revive portion of the item? By the way, have always loved Yorick, and basically all “summoner” types, so glad you’re doing what you do and successfully! Congrats and keep it up. Sick name too haha matches your play style perfectly.
Yo! Third best Yorick on OCE here, 5 million mastery, D2, mates with Slogs and Ninetales. Haven't touched ranked properly in a couple years tho. Yorick's Maiden and Ghouls DO NOT reduce tower resistances. You summon them to take towers just to literally overpower the damage reduction, while you tank the hits.
@@HappyChimeNoises I don't think you understand correctly. Stats like lethality, and armor pen, work on ghouls (because your ghouls deal physical damage, hence they benefit from your lethality and armor pen). In the same fashion, lethality and armor pen work on turrets too. (because turrets have armor and MR)** However the point that OP is bringing up is that turrets have a passive which make them take 66.6% less damage if there are no MINIONS around. That mean that if there is no LANE MINION in proximity of the turret, you will only deal 33% of your usual damage. **This is why taking subsequent platings is harder (turrets gain armor/mr on every plating destroyed, and thats why its optimal to use herald on the last 2.1 platings, since herald charge deals true damage).
Ironically I feel like this build would’ve been so much more effective if he still had Omen of Death because then it would just be inting Sion 2.0 but stronger
I've been following Slogdog for a long time, and the dude is a genius! His Assassin build was the culmination of almost a year of theorycrafting beyond the Conqueror Eclipse build
I’ve been taking first strike with futures market or occasionally minion demat, as long as you reliably hit your E you’ll have your first item so ridiculously fast that your other runes don’t matter anymore. Would recommend although conqueror might be better for longer fights.
Cool and all, until it misses. I wonder, but I think the AD the pets get from Conqueror outdamages sustained Comet strikes. It is a cool interaction and I want it to be good, but I think that in reality Conqueror probably does the same job but you don’t notice it as much.
It's literally the same story with Bauss when he became a Sion OTP, a champion with crazy scaling that has no dashes now has a dash and is way faster with towers when going ad items and also was a rather unknown champion whose popularity has increased when this one guy just plays and builds him differently. I wonder if some mad lad will do the same on Illaoi now. also don't lie to yourself, you died laughing at 9:14
@@Sen5iz. Have you ever tried Illaoi jungle with crit-movement speed items? it´s so fun, so fast, and with the ability to 1v5 if done right. Your tentacles keep attacking the vessel even if you died 4 seconds ago, that´s huge, and with ad items they just rekt anything that comes close. Also, your W gain range, with rapid fire cannon you reach almost 500 range and can 1-2 shot squishies with a huge amount of speed (like 600 and more with items active). It´s really fun, and tentacles helps with jungle clear, which isn´t bad at all.
the problem with illaoi is that she misses lots of damage if you try to be proactive with her due to needing to set up tentacles and you don't have many tools to deal with ranged champs, although after riot buffed her W and attack speed she can trade really well with just aa-w spam it's kinda crazy, there may be room for experimentation like the comment above but it doesn't seem as good as Sion/Yorick
Happychime didn't mention that even though a level 1 yuumi can one shot a level 18 yorick ghoul with only one auto attack, for some reason the ghouls have massive damage reduction against abilities. So they can survive all 3 casts of riven's Q and I think lux's E+R combo, but not a single auto attack from any champion. I think abilities like ez Q and yasuo's Q count as auto attacks and also quickly kill them.
This is btw what lol-wiki says about its: "Mist Walkers take 50% damage from area of effect abilities and monsters. Single targeted spells and attacks including a turret shot, will instantly kill Mist Walkers." but somehow sylas enhanced auto attack does not oneshot them (which is hell), so it seems to be much more about the "single-targetness" than an attack. Another fuckedup interaction: Zac can not reactivate his q on yoriks wall and instead just autoattacks it >:O
Its not "for some reason" its specifically because they die in 1 hit to an AA and single target stuff. So you have to focus them rather than just random AOE.
Someone did this on the enemy team and sent the link to this vid. My team was extremely fed, up so much gold, and the enemy team was not looking too good, but that Yorick man. Had a normal KDA but won the game just off split pushing. I was so confused how our team fell through
I literally checked this channel yesterday to see if there was a Yorick video. Thank you for uploading this. One thing that you should've mentioned is that it's best to get close to the enemy champion when throwing your E. I've found that I miss a lot of times when I throw it at max distance.

I actually play lethality yorick a lot, its one of my favorite builts. Instead of prowlers I go elipse because of the shield which the minions activate. Additionally lethality yorick can solo baron, leaving your team to contest drag or slow their mid push. For my build I typically go eclipse, lucidity boots, collector, ravenous for life steal, ghost blade for chase, and either grudge for slow or edge of night for spell shield. As for my runes I like to go Conquerer, Triumph, bloodline, cut the grass, demolish, bone plating, then ability haste, adaptive, and amour This amps up the healing from maiden and your sustain a lot allowing you to solo basically anybody. One Q can essentially heal half your health and maiden applying life steal never lets you die in lane. You are kinda squishy as you have no tank items however, no tank or squishy can really fight you solo allowing for massive map pressure just by existing
1:55 : Ah, the old crew of weird champs. I miss them too! Beta player here and they were so much fun and so different. Then Riot came and had to put them into nice little boxes for set roles.

Out of all these videos I learned this, find a pick you love, experiment with some builds till you find something that works for you and you feel comfortable using it around many matchups and then take over the world
I've been playing Yorick off and on for years, and it's awesome that this guy figured out a way to get past his weakness let alone make him incredibly strong. I need to try this next time I play
Really happy to see and new valid yorick playstyle, thisis from an (ex-gm yorick OTP). Gonna try shit stuff out right now, prob gonna enjoy it alot! Thanks for the content and thanks Slogdog
One major disruption the W Wall causes that wasn't mentioned is cancelling malzahar ults, you have to time it perfectly so the wall comes up and the edges of the wall push him as he starts ulting, very niche and very hard to pull off but amazing when done
The best part of this video is that, I feel like this isn't trolling at all. Like the way you explained every aspect of the build makes it seem like this is the ACTUAL proper way to build yorick. The only downside to this build is that he isn't a 'tank' or 'brusier' anymore. He duels better, he splits harder, he assassinates like what yorick actually team fights
its still funny when you build the items that gives your ghouls perma slow and people try to run away instead of killing them, or when you trap them in a cage, and they need to either break it kill the ghouls kill maiden or you, and none of the choices are good.
In the current patch if you’re in a minion wave using your q while having ravenous hydra will make you have a constant source of low health minions that your maidens can easily kill making your E’s way more deadly and powerful while making your q’s very deadly in team fights since ravenous hydra also gives cleave on ability’s your E’s initial damage will also be much bigger making you basically a minion ballista with a large hammer
I'm happy I found this video when it was posted. I had been playing Yorick as my new one trick for a while before that but was feeling very... idk I guess just like a roided up super minion. I couldnt do much unless I was left alone in which case I could to a lot to towers but that's not always fun. Lethality Yorick though, that has made a huge difference. It feels great.
I also understand this guy, back in the early seasons of league I would deliberately play the champions people hated to see on their team. Original Eve JG, Original Heimer Mid, champs like these that were absurdly bad I loved to death. I wish eve was never changed because I learned how to make her actually playable.
This build actually just boosted my LP gains. Highly recommend. I'm on a 8 win streak if you don't count the early afk team mate I had. The loss was mitigated at least is why I wont count it but yeah pretty op.
Ive been maining yorick for a long time and I have to say that assassin yorick is actually the only way you can consistently carry as this champion. He's designed for split pushing but has no way to disengage (even if he does escape he loses his ult which is needed for dueling). On the other hand, assassin yorick can play like an AD poke mage where you through high damage ghouls at enemy carries and still manage to shred tanks and bruisers if they get too close. Assassin yorick is not even bad at dueling or splitting, its just a better pick overall because it makes you viable as a teamplay champion.
Gw2 sponsor? Pog, highly recommend, love this game (coincidentally, I had put on this video while I was already playing guild wars 2 doing some crafting)
Cant believe I took this guy lightly cause he was OCE. He went to NA and got masters 300 LP on 200 ping. Now he's masters in EUW and has had GM+ MMR since reaching plat. Dude's been smurfing most of his games still. This guy is just built different
So a bit of technical issues with his combos. The maiden spawns ghouls dependent on level. 2 at level 6, 3 at 11 and 4 at 16. The double ghoul jump isn't automatic. The ghouls from maiden jump immediately when spawned and then he recasts q to spawn new ghouls which then jump again as long as the e mark hasn't expired. Also not really sure what that was about the maiden and ghouls reducing turret resistances. Maybe referring to grudge's passive?
@@HereTakeAFlower If that's the case, I don't think it applies. I've played yorick for about 3 seasons now and I'm pretty sure that ghouls and maiden don't count as minions for the passive. I'm pretty sure no pets actually do
@@davidagudelo6759 to raise the second rotation of ghouls you do need to recast q. The maiden ghouls will jump immediately but then to get the grave ghouls to jump and replace the maiden ghouls, recasting q is required. This only really applies at 16 as the maiden will only spawn with 2 or 3 before then and will fill the open slots for e jump with graves. Then when recast it will replace however many ghouls there are graves for.
So that´s exactly the same strategy as I use Shyvana. I main Yorick-Shyvana now and I only care for towers, getting items and try to use TP on a deep ward to 2-shot towers-inibhs. Really strong.
Been playing yorick this way in my ranked games and oh boy, I will just laugh my ass off as I pick up a kill randomly here and there with my ghouls as long as I hit my E, I can just continue pushing and let my ghouls do the job
I've been playing lethality Yorick since lethality was a thing. I've been playing Yorick since Omen of Famine. And I'm almost mad I didn't post this video, and madder still that the secret is out.
actually ghouls spawns not when maiden near. they spawn when E marked enemy near, or yorick (or maiden itself) kill minion, what maiden also hit, so if yorick kill minion 1 when maiden hit minion 2 ghoul doesent spawn
I've been doing this build but with a full on Yorick Jungle playstyle instead It works quite nicely and you have some insane push potential due to Demolish + Hullbreaker if you get that far.
This is not just split pushing that is for sure, split pushing is going to a side lane to get an advantage for your team - either through taking stuff while enemies fail to respond, or by drawing someone over and then collapsing to the teamfight. Yorick is ONLY splitting reguardless of outcome, reguardless of team comp, reguardless of game situation. If enemies have 3 dragons, about to claim soul and 5 people ready stacked on it - You can bet yorick will be on their nexus ready to end. It is an extreme version and that is why it is emphasised.
@@HappyChimeNoises I'd like to apologize I feel like my comment might have sounded ruder than what I orginally intended! Thank you for responding so kindly :)
i prefer comet yorick. you start e and use scorch and comet and manaflow to poke and gain mana. once you hit 2, the other guy should be at 2/3 starting health so they're cocky and don't realize e can summon ghouls. i've been experimenting with phase rush yorick as well but that extra poke damage really does make it easier and safer to farm.
when rito did the changes and that dumb build surfaced i had to start just banning yorick because it felt so unfair to deal with the way he just didn't interact and fished with e and let ghouls do the work even in lane. rito nerfed it so i stopped banning it but then hullbreaker came out and i just said no shot i'm letting yorick in a game with this item, though now i have some other bans. anyway i still do a lethality build in aram because it's funny later what the ghouls do, the fact they can proc eclipse and stuff. i'm not surprised that someone has mastered the build and learned the little mechanics to optimize it, some good tips for sure. One thing i'd say to the video is that you don't actually re-activate Q to summon ghouls unless you want them to push or you are fighting without hitting E, you just fish for E and it auto summons the ghouls when it hits/marks a target.
I vividly remember getting flamed hard for buying Prowlers claw for, Yorick once. I was against a Pantheon Top and was just following the recommended item purchase Riot suggested.
ive been playing yorick since the aatrox rework back in the day that was my main dont like riven 2.0 so i swapped to yorick and have been playing him forever i love lethality yorick one of my favorites that even my duos didnt know about until i told them how good it was
This player mind set is like. "Yeah, sure they will have 4 drakes and 2 heralds but im in their fountain now we can do this from the easy way or the hard way the choise is yours"
I played against this earlier this season. Unlucky for them the Yorick player lacked the mastery to be able to pull this off. Very frustrating to play against though.
See but what he hasn’t told y’all is that…. If you get a belveth and she takes objectives and start spawning her minions along with yorwick gouls while he has hull breaker… you just end the game. THE funnest shit.
This seems fun, I want to add another toplaner to my champ pool, I'm gonna try this but first, I will learn normal Yorick and when I'm good enough I will try this build.
Mist Walkers or the Maiden DO NOT count as minions to remove tower damage reduction. The claim thar they do is simply false; he just has a lot of damage at that stage and is fine with taking tower shots or letting the Maiden take them.

"The only Australian we know from OCE" is Tilterella. Idk who this midbeast guy is but on an anti-meta chanel this was such a perfect chance
damn it i forgot the legend tilt
maiden spawns 2/3/4 gouhls at lvl 6/11/16 respectivly. Thanks for covering toplane yorick i love the pick
One major disruption the W Wall causes that wasn't mentioned is cancelling malzahar ults, you have to time it perfectly so the wall comes up and the edges of the wall push him as he starts ulting, very niche and very hard to pull off but amazing when done
Dragon: You can be limitless
Yorick: I am enough
The best part of this video is that, I feel like this isn't trolling at all. Like the way you explained every aspect of the build makes it seem like this is the ACTUAL proper way to build yorick. The only downside to this build is that he isn't a 'tank' or 'brusier' anymore. He duels better, he splits harder, he assassinates like what yorick actually team fights
when i saw the title i immediately knew it was slogdog. i love his streams, he does plays i never even wouldve thought about
9:15 I love that you had the courtesy to put Pokerick in there for the lethality yorick vid
Oh hey! Similar to what I've been doing on Yorick! Happy to see Yorick and Slogdog getting some love
I really thought this video was going to be about Pokerick lmao. He's another lethality yorick otp
its still funny when you build the items that gives your ghouls perma slow and people try to run away instead of killing them, or when you trap them in a cage, and they need to either break it kill the ghouls kill maiden or you, and none of the choices are good.
Yorick does not summon 4 ghouls with R, he spawns 2/3/4 per level on the abolity
In the current patch if you’re in a minion wave using your q while having ravenous hydra will make you have a constant source of low health minions that your maidens can easily kill making your E’s way more deadly and powerful while making your q’s very deadly in team fights since ravenous hydra also gives cleave on ability’s your E’s initial damage will also be much bigger making you basically a minion ballista with a large hammer
I'm happy I found this video when it was posted. I had been playing Yorick as my new one trick for a while before that but was feeling very... idk I guess just like a roided up super minion. I couldnt do much unless I was left alone in which case I could to a lot to towers but that's not always fun.
Lethality Yorick though, that has made a huge difference. It feels great.
I also understand this guy, back in the early seasons of league I would deliberately play the champions people hated to see on their team. Original Eve JG, Original Heimer Mid, champs like these that were absurdly bad I loved to death. I wish eve was never changed because I learned how to make her actually playable.
Finally a Yorick video, the wait is over
I've been waiting for thus for years. Tears in my eyes.
This build actually just boosted my LP gains. Highly recommend. I'm on a 8 win streak if you don't count the early afk team mate I had. The loss was mitigated at least is why I wont count it but yeah pretty op.
i have been watching Slog for years so happy to see him get recognised
Ive been maining yorick for a long time and I have to say that assassin yorick is actually the only way you can consistently carry as this champion. He's designed for split pushing but has no way to disengage (even if he does escape he loses his ult which is needed for dueling). On the other hand, assassin yorick can play like an AD poke mage where you through high damage ghouls at enemy carries and still manage to shred tanks and bruisers if they get too close. Assassin yorick is not even bad at dueling or splitting, its just a better pick overall because it makes you viable as a teamplay champion.
I got a question, does the ghoul jump activates Prowlers claw for them? Or is it useless on Yorick now
Why Yorick is fun.
Q - Nasus Siphoning Strike with no stack
W - Destroyable Jarvan Ult
E - Bouncing Minion
R - Grievous Wound Super Minion
Gw2 sponsor? Pog, highly recommend, love this game (coincidentally, I had put on this video while I was already playing guild wars 2 doing some crafting)
Cant believe I took this guy lightly cause he was OCE. He went to NA and got masters 300 LP on 200 ping. Now he's masters in EUW and has had GM+ MMR since reaching plat. Dude's been smurfing most of his games still. This guy is just built different
ITS HIM MY BOY SLOGGY DOGGY LETS GOO
So a bit of technical issues with his combos. The maiden spawns ghouls dependent on level. 2 at level 6, 3 at 11 and 4 at 16. The double ghoul jump isn't automatic. The ghouls from maiden jump immediately when spawned and then he recasts q to spawn new ghouls which then jump again as long as the e mark hasn't expired.
Also not really sure what that was about the maiden and ghouls reducing turret resistances. Maybe referring to grudge's passive?
I think towers take less damage when there are no minions around, maybe it's about that.
@@HereTakeAFlower If that's the case, I don't think it applies. I've played yorick for about 3 seasons now and I'm pretty sure that ghouls and maiden don't count as minions for the passive. I'm pretty sure no pets actually do
@@RapTapTap69 you're right. Only lane minions reduce the tower's resistances.
They do jump inmediately, you don't need to recast Q
@@davidagudelo6759 to raise the second rotation of ghouls you do need to recast q. The maiden ghouls will jump immediately but then to get the grave ghouls to jump and replace the maiden ghouls, recasting q is required. This only really applies at 16 as the maiden will only spawn with 2 or 3 before then and will fill the open slots for e jump with graves. Then when recast it will replace however many ghouls there are graves for.
no, i play the one and only necromancer mage yorick way, building him ap max e
This episode had me Ron Swanson giggling the whole time. I love Yorick and I’ll have a lot of fun abusing this until it gets nerfed.
Sir Pokerick. Honors to him to give me my season 13 main. Thank you Pokerick you are not mentioned in this video but it was in my heart !
So that´s exactly the same strategy as I use Shyvana. I main Yorick-Shyvana now and I only care for towers, getting items and try to use TP on a deep ward to 2-shot towers-inibhs. Really strong.
The GW2 ad is deserved. Great game.
I love Yorick because he's a man of family. He loves his wife and kids
7 year guild wars player here for anyone who was considering it (it's free so maybe just do it to give chime more revenue cuz he deserves it
Been playing yorick this way in my ranked games and oh boy, I will just laugh my ass off as I pick up a kill randomly here and there with my ghouls as long as I hit my E, I can just continue pushing and let my ghouls do the job
I've been playing lethality Yorick since lethality was a thing. I've been playing Yorick since Omen of Famine. And I'm almost mad I didn't post this video, and madder still that the secret is out.
actually ghouls spawns not when maiden near. they spawn when E marked enemy near, or yorick (or maiden itself) kill minion, what maiden also hit, so if yorick kill minion 1 when maiden hit minion 2 ghoul doesent spawn
Seeing Chime Cosplaying made me more happy than I could have ever thought
As a yorick main and an off-meta player a year ago thx for the vids!!!!
I've been doing this build but with a full on Yorick Jungle playstyle instead
It works quite nicely and you have some insane push potential due to Demolish + Hullbreaker if you get that far.
I’ve been binging your videos for the past few days! Keep it up 🥰
Well, yorick can be an assasain with that build or tank one, but I will try it hahaha
might be the best league content out there
Thank you for being so kind!
been playing this for around a year now, climbed so hard. all thanks to Slogdog
Can't wait for HOw A YUUMI TOP FULL AP GOT RANK ONE CHALLENGER at this rate LMAO
I like how at 9:25 you just explained what the basics of split pushing are
This is not just split pushing that is for sure, split pushing is going to a side lane to get an advantage for your team - either through taking stuff while enemies fail to respond, or by drawing someone over and then collapsing to the teamfight.
Yorick is ONLY splitting reguardless of outcome, reguardless of team comp, reguardless of game situation. If enemies have 3 dragons, about to claim soul and 5 people ready stacked on it - You can bet yorick will be on their nexus ready to end. It is an extreme version and that is why it is emphasised.
@@HappyChimeNoises I'd like to apologize I feel like my comment might have sounded ruder than what I orginally intended! Thank you for responding so kindly :)
i prefer comet yorick. you start e and use scorch and comet and manaflow to poke and gain mana. once you hit 2, the other guy should be at 2/3 starting health so they're cocky and don't realize e can summon ghouls. i've been experimenting with phase rush yorick as well but that extra poke damage really does make it easier and safer to farm.
This is one of the only gw2 ads I’ve ever seen. A pleasant surprise
having watched slogdog for so long, its nice to see him being covered by HappyChimeNoises. cant wait to see an increase in lethalityrick players
Omg that actually makes me happy that GW2 is doing sponsorships
Ghouls can proc items like Eclipse btw for free extra dmg.
Love the off-meta vids HappyChimesNoises! Great video as always!
when rito did the changes and that dumb build surfaced i had to start just banning yorick because it felt so unfair to deal with the way he just didn't interact and fished with e and let ghouls do the work even in lane. rito nerfed it so i stopped banning it but then hullbreaker came out and i just said no shot i'm letting yorick in a game with this item, though now i have some other bans. anyway i still do a lethality build in aram because it's funny later what the ghouls do, the fact they can proc eclipse and stuff. i'm not surprised that someone has mastered the build and learned the little mechanics to optimize it, some good tips for sure.
One thing i'd say to the video is that you don't actually re-activate Q to summon ghouls unless you want them to push or you are fighting without hitting E, you just fish for E and it auto summons the ghouls when it hits/marks a target.
A video with an Irelia and a Riven bullied is a great one
i love the Bora Bora background music used in p much all these vids. very soothing
I can't wait for ProGuides to use this video as a reference to put Yorick in the OP tier like they did with jungle Taric
He made Yorick an even more fearsome ranged top laner. He is a menace to society.
Another friendly reminder that if I see this in any of my games I will be griefing and submitting support ticket.
9:58 My boy slogdog being paranoic af, throwing his abilities at the allied Zed after killing the enemy Pyke lmao
I vividly remember getting flamed hard for buying Prowlers claw for, Yorick once. I was against a Pantheon Top and was just following the recommended item purchase Riot suggested.
finally you made a video on him ive been watching him for so long
ive been playing yorick since the aatrox rework back in the day that was my main dont like riven 2.0 so i swapped to yorick and have been playing him forever i love lethality yorick one of my favorites that even my duos didnt know about until i told them how good it was
Me: I want the assassin shadow monarch Sung Jin woo
Riot: we got shadow monarch alr...
Shadow monarch alr:...
SLOGDOG!!!! OCE ON TOP BABY
This player mind set is like.
"Yeah, sure they will have 4 drakes and 2 heralds but im in their fountain now we can do this from the easy way or the hard way the choise is yours"
I played against this earlier this season. Unlucky for them the Yorick player lacked the mastery to be able to pull this off. Very frustrating to play against though.
I'm seriously interested, how do you keep finding these players?? I love it so much to see people play unpopular stuff because it's so much fun
The maiden description was realy accurate and funny 🤣🤣
I love this meta. Assasins build tank items, bruisers build assasin items.
Slog’s been playing prowlers Yorick well before durability patch
See but what he hasn’t told y’all is that…. If you get a belveth and she takes objectives and start spawning her minions along with yorwick gouls while he has hull breaker… you just end the game. THE funnest shit.
yorick : i'll push top
ally : but there's no wave sir
yorick : i am the wave, boy..
He really digs with that build man.
Cant wait for riot to nerf Yorick into complete trash again and then buff the Incel samurais on the same patch to compensate
Lets goooooo, my boy slog dog got the recognition he deserved
This seems fun, I want to add another toplaner to my champ pool, I'm gonna try this but first, I will learn normal Yorick and when I'm good enough I will try this build.
Mist Walkers or the Maiden DO NOT count as minions to remove tower damage reduction.
The claim thar they do is simply false; he just has a lot of damage at that stage and is fine with taking tower shots or letting the Maiden take them.
