Who Wins
- You win trades pre-6 through superior range and mobility, but Yorick's Q empowerment and W cage can punish overextension.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage in short trades, but his R maiden creates sustained pressure that can overwhelm you in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Use auto-Q-auto for quick poke then immediately E away to avoid his W cage followup.
- Never commit to extended trades near his graves as the maiden and ghouls will outdamage your sustained DPS.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push to deny him grave stacking, but avoid hard shoving as it leaves you vulnerable to ganks without escape routes.
- Keep the wave slightly on your side to have space for E escapes while preventing his farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively to engage trades as it's your only escape from his W cage.
- Getting trapped in his cage near graves or post-6 with maiden up often results in death or blown summoners.
