Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s due to Yorick's Q damage and ghoul pressure, but can survive through Q shield and passive sustain.
- At level 6, you still lose the 1v1 as Maiden provides too much sustained damage and you lack the burst to quickly eliminate it.
How to Trade
- You should look for short trades using E-Q-W combo then immediately disengage before ghouls can stack damage on you.
- Focus on using your Q empowered autos on Yorick when his ghouls are down, as this is your only window for favorable trades.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain wave control through careful last-hitting and avoid letting Yorick build up graves by clearing his minions efficiently.
- Look for opportunities to roam with your ultimate when Yorick is slow pushing, as he cannot match your map presence.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to take extended trades when Yorick has 3+ ghouls and Maiden up, as you will lose every time.
- Never use your taunt aggressively without jungle assistance, as getting trapped in his W cage with ghouls attacking will result in your death.
