With all this quality posting I'm wondering how effective Skarner would be with 4x Essence Reavers. Sure the unique passive doesn't apply the additional 3 times, but man that's a lot of AD, Lifesteal, and CDR. Skarner loves CDR.

What do you guys think?

The Gangplank requirements for his icon is balls to get for Act 3, two wins and then after that you need to spend 750 Krakens and buy 15 level 3 upgrades. Even being fed I get maybe one or two level 3 upgrades a game, same for the krakens.

Wait, weren't they suppose to be reworking Yorick and Warwick? they even had videos of new skill concepts a year ago.

Couple pages back but it's been made clear a few times that the Champ Update team only has the resources/manpower for one complete redesign (aka 'Sion-tier Update') at a time which is almost definitely what Yorick would be getting. I think they said that after Poppy's done (iirc they said the kit is locked in and they've been working on art assets, so we'll probably get her around september/october range?) It's probably him or Taric next.

If memory serves Yorrick is in the "what the gently caress do we even do here?" category and has had more than one scrapped rework already.

IronStylus commented on it semi-recently, a week and some odd days or so back.

Taric got a ton of support when Ironstylus was just teasing that he might be interested in art assets, so it looks like he's actually jumped a few places in line. Which is great really, I mean Taric is just way better than Yorick, who the gently caress plays Yorick.

Honestly taric is pretty good right now, but only when he can be picked into a 5 AD team and stack 500 armour and hence make his team have 4k extra HP.

Cat of Wealth and Taste

He's too niche, and he's really... well, BORING to play in lane. Once you get out of lane he's more interesting but his laning phase is just awful. He needs... like Soraka-style reworking. Add some more active things to his kit so he's a bit more dynamic and he'll be in a good spot.

e: Sona is a good example here too, as much as people hated it at first she's more fun/skillful to play now than before her rework.

Wait, what's wrong with Yorick? I always thought he had a decent kit and was a fun top to play. What is it that Riot wants to fix on him?

Literally everything. We hope.

e: To be a little bit less snippy, Yorick is pretty much the posterchild for a horrible zero-counterplay lane monster who has limited impact outside of lane. Not to mention that he used to break the game in half every few patches.

Corbeau nailed it. They hate his unlimited sustain, hate his ult that acts as an immense but awful-feeling force multiplier, and generally really dislike the fact that he harasses without answer due to his slowing and healing ghouls and has bullshit amounts of hidden power from his passive. It's likely not even one of his abilities will survive the remake.

Yorick has always been abusive as poo poo but almost nobody plays him. I don't think I have seen one outside an ARAM in over a year.

Really though if you are playing a game of league you should only play abusive and stifling champions to ruin your enemy's morale.
