If it misses, kill his small summons and punish before he can trap you with W. - Limit early all-ins unless his summons are gone. Yorick's lane damage depends on fighting with setup already on the ground. - Kill his large summoned companion before major rotations or recalls. Forcing that cooldown removes much of his side-lane threat. - Answer his split push with wave clear first, not a blind chase. Clear the summons, then collapse when he lacks pressure. - Remove his summoned companion before committing to Baron or inhibitor fights. Leaving it alive lets Yorick threaten structures while your team is grouped. ## Where Yorick is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Yorick's threat depends on prepared summons, so clearing his army removes much of his pressure. - Yorick is built for side-lane pressure, making forced grouped fights punish him when his split push is contained. ## Yorick counters: questions ### Who counters Yorick in Top?
