Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior early game damage and mobility, with level 2 being your strongest spike when you get W for guaranteed stun combos.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more skill-dependent as Yorick's R gives him significant dueling power and split push pressure that can match your teamfight presence.
How to Trade
- You want to E in, auto-W-Q-auto, then E out before Yorick can land W to trap you or respond with his full combo.
- Never commit to extended trades without fury as Yorick's sustained damage with ghouls and Q healing will outscale your base damage.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push early to build minion advantages for your trades, then crash waves before roaming or backing.
- Avoid hard shoving constantly as this gives Yorick free farm and allows him to scale into his strong mid-game split push.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not get trapped by Yorick's W during trades as this allows him to land guaranteed E and summon ghouls for massive damage.
- Never underestimate his post-6 all-in potential with R as the Maiden provides significant sustained damage that can turn losing trades around.
