"Summoners Greetings!

We wanted to give you a preview of Yorick's gameplay in a quick mini-update.

Yorick is our first champion to use the creation and use of summoned minions. All of Yorick's abilities have different immediate effects, but each one leaves a different minion of the appropriate type. For instance, Omen of Pestilence creates an area blast at the targeted location that deals damage and slows, leaving a Decomposed Demon. This demon will then slow adjacent targets for its lifespan. All demons have a life bar that is constantly drained, limiting their lifespan to a short duration, and enemies who attack them will shorten their lifespan even more.

Yorick is not just a frail and weak necromancer who only tells his subjects what to do, he is a burly fighter who can dish out punishment on his own. This was mainly done to make your game more consistent (since fragile summoners, you normally have very binary gameplay in PvP whether your minions are alive or not). Yorick can enter battle and come face to face with his enemies while commanding an ever-changing army of undead demons.

Harbinger of Death is his Ultimate feature that brings players back from the dead to exact revenge. Yorick can use this Omen on an ally, creating a spectral demon for that champion. If that champion is killed while the spectral demon exists, then the target gains temporary immortality, returning from the dead with full life, which quickly drains on its own. After the resurrected ally is left lifeless again, they will collapse once more.

We really hope you enjoy our new undead master in the next patch!

Tips

Playing like

Yorick

Omen of Pestilence can be used to block incoming skill shots.
Omen of Death can be more reliable when used just before allies die, but it is less powerful.
During Omen of Death, both the spectral demon and the reanimated champion count as a summons towards the bonus of Unholy Alliance.

Playing against

Yorick

You can use the Summoner Spell Punishment on Yorick's minions to immediately negate its effects.
When Yorick uses his ultimate on an ally, it will be easier to take down the spectral demon before focusing on the target that would otherwise revive.
The amount of Life restored by Omen of Famine is based on the actual amount of damage dealt, so Magic Resistance will be less effective.

Tricks

Use of skills

A highly recommended strategy when everyone already has a high level, and team fights begin, is to use Harbinger of Death with the Marksman and if there is a Mordekaiser on the allied team, this one can use Sons of the Tomb Sons of the Tomb on the enemy Marksman and thus have 3 Marksmen at the same time, having triple the ranged attack, and in addition, Marksmen are based on physical damage, which which could be devastating.
