Yorick Counters

The top picks outside of lane to counter Yorick include Kai'Sa, Zeri, and Ezreal. These champs are all good at countering Yorick with high win rates over 56%. Even if these Yorick counter picks are not played in your lane, it's not smart to play him into one of these matchups. They will very likely crush Yorick.

Conversely, if the other team picks either Maokai or Kennen, Yorick mains should seriously consider picking him, as he easily crushes these champions with win rates over 54% against both ofthem.

Utilize the early game advantage to keep Yorick at bay, as he's known to be weakest during this period. Your primary goal should be to avoid dying, gaining experience, and accumulating gold.

Yorick's damage output is mainly reliant on his Ultimate R maiden and Q ghouls. If the maiden is killed prior to a fight, Yorick loses a significant amount of his DPS. Similarly, killing his ghouls can greatly reduce his capability to inflict damage.

One of Yorick's key strengths lies in his robust push ability. Thus, using waveclear abilities to counteract this can be highly effective, limiting his potential to dominate the lane.

Distinctively monitor Yorick's movements throughout the game. This will provide opportunities to obstruct his split-push attempts and throw him off balance.

Remember, Yorick is particularly potent with his split pushing strategy, especially during the mid-game, thanks to his Ultimate R. If left unaccosted, he can quickly be at the inhibitors. Stay vigilant and ensure he does not get a free hand in pursuing this strategy.

Yorick's first and second abilities significantly increase his threat level at levels 9 and 14 respectively. His damage and duel sustainability increase making him harder to tackle. Strategic planning is necessary during these stages of the game to neutralize his increasing threat.

Yorick tends to excel in clustered fights and can deal a great deal of damage if he teams up with his squad towards the late game, especially once the Maiden at level 16 is introduced. Try to pick off enemies one by one rather than engaging in large group battles against him.
