How to beat Yorick

Common role: Top

A split-pushing juggernaut who raises a horde of ghouls and a giant Maiden.

What makes Yorick dangerous

Yorick summons ghouls from graves to swarm you, walls you in with his E ring, and his ultimate raises the Maiden of the Mist — a powerful minion that shreds towers and champions. He's a relentless split-pusher who wins side lanes 1v1 and takes objectives with his ghoul army.

How to play against Yorick

• 1Clear his ghouls or don't fight surrounded by them — they add up to huge damage. Kill the Maiden to cut his push and dueling power.
• 2Dodge his E (a slow-marking ring/mist) — it slows and lets his ghouls swarm. Sidestep it to avoid getting walled in.
• 3Answer his split-push with numbers, not a 1v1 — he wins most side-lane duels. Trade map pressure instead.
• 4He's immobile with no gap-closer — kite him and his ghouls, and focus the Maiden in teamfights.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No mobility — kiteable.
• ✓Kill the Maiden to cut his power.
• ✓E wall/slow is a dodgeable skillshot.
• ✓Weak in coordinated 5v5 vs strong 1v1 split.
