Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s heavily due to Yorick's superior base stats and Q empowered trades, with no meaningful early spikes to shift this dynamic.
- Post-6 you still struggle in extended fights as his R creates a 2v1 scenario that your R cannot consistently escape from.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve using Q to slow him when he approaches, then kiting backward with auto attacks while his Q is on cooldown.
- Never commit to extended trades as his W will trap you for follow-up damage from ghouls and his empowered Q.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower early to farm safely, then transition to shoving and roaming once you have items and levels.
- Avoid letting him build up graves by clearing his minions efficiently with Q and E when possible.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up to contest CS when he has 3-4 graves ready, as the ghoul spawn combined with his W trap creates unavoidable all-in potential.
- Don't waste your R defensively in small trades - save it for his R engages or jungle ganks.
