Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Yorick's Q empowered autos and superior base damage.
- At level 6, you still struggle against his R maiden unless you can land a perfect combo on him without ghouls blocking your engage.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve Q poke from max range then backing off immediately, as extended trades favor his Q resets and ghoul damage.
- Only commit to longer trades post-6 if you can E the maiden and ghouls together while having your passive shield up.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower early to avoid his E+W cage setups in extended lanes.
- Push hard only when you have vision and can clear his graves quickly with E, as letting him stack graves in a frozen wave gives him too much kill pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him in his minion wave when he has 3-4 graves up, as his E will spawn ghouls that make your trades heavily unfavorable.
- Avoid using your R engage when his W wall is available, as he can trap you after your knockup ends and turn the fight around.
