Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Yorick's Q empowered autos and W cage trapping you for extended trades with ghouls.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R engage potential, but Yorick can still match your damage if he has maiden and ghouls up.
How to Trade
- Look for short E-auto-Q trades when Yorick has no ghouls or maiden, then immediately back off before he can cage you with W.
- Extended trades favor him due to his sustain and ghoul damage, so keep exchanges brief unless you have a clear health advantage.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard early to prevent Yorick from stacking graves for ghouls, using your AOE abilities to clear minions quickly.
- After 6, be cautious about shoving too hard as Yorick with maiden can freeze and zone you from farm with his superior 1v1 potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get trapped in his W cage during extended trades, especially when he has ghouls or maiden active.
- Getting caged allows him to land guaranteed Q damage and ghoul attacks, turning favorable trades into losing ones.
