Pro Commentary
Pros and Cons
Pros
Very high health sustain with his Omen of Famine
Can freeze the lane very easily by 'body tanking' the creeps so that the enemy minions do not get hit by your allied tower. You can then heal using your abilities.
Very annoying harass potential
One of the best ultimates in the game for keeping a carry fighting
Can tankBaron indefinitely with basically just a Frozen Heart
Cons
Very weak lategame where he relies on his AD carry to be strong
Omen of War is his only way to escape, which requires a melee auto attack
Very mana dependent
Has counterpicks that scale into lategame better than him
How do people even take pleasure from play such a disgustingly coward a low champion... This has got to be Riot's worse design ever, on pair with teemo.
i have made my own build for yorick that can turn him into a machine. i get a mana crystal, health potion and mana potion to start. get it to become tear of the godess next. then i either go for the pickaxe, or vampiric cepter. . take those and upgrade up to ravenous hydra. this gives you mass damage output, spray with your basic attacks and mass life steal and AD really early in game. depending on circumstance its either going to be aromor (Aegis) or more AD (Rageblade). finally i wait and purchase my boots all at once mid game (Swiftness with alacricity). next we get a warmogs, or upgrade our Tear to Manamune (maybe even by this point you will have gotten it to be the manamunabanana or whatever lol for super damage). by this point the other team usually surrenders or we win.
i use teleport and clarity spells. my runes are all the basic AD with quints of Magic/Armor pen.
you level your omen of famine first for basic sustain and then trade between war and pestilence until they both reach level 3 or 4 for mass damage. then get your war to 5 (for it will be your strongist ability at this point) and level up your famine up again for more life steal.
its a little unorthadox as to what i see most people build, be they are noobs, or they are pro's. i never see a build like this, but it works on a few champs i have tried it on too. but with yorick. it is a recipe for mass slaughter. when i look at the overall damage after a game on the graph, i have double the damage of near all the other champions on either team. good luck ;)
it would have been nice not to rush all the guides and spent some time on them. one example is Force of nature is not in the game anymore, but yet its in the build.

Posted 3/14/2013 2:25:19 AMHi.... The runes in your quick Guide and your Runes, Masteries, and Summoner Spells page do not match up... Should I be running health? or more AD?
Thanks.
