What are some tips for the Yorick vs. Jax matchup?

Jax is a classic hard counter to Yorick. His E (Counter Strike) completely denies all of Yorick's auto-attack and ghoul damage, and he possesses high mobility and tankiness (R + Frozen Heart synergy). However, Yorick has outplay potential. If Jax ever uses Q (Leap Strike) onto Yorick, you can guarantee trapping him with W and E. From this bad position, it is vital to kite in and out of the cage to avoid damage while your pets DPS him. Fight him only after his E ends. Poke with Q when he tries to CS to bait out his E. If he gets on top of you without using Q, W yourself, forcing him to jump, and then walk outside the box. Build Tanky.

What are some tips for the Yorick vs. Aatrox matchup?

he struggles hard to kill your ghouls and Maiden because your pets take 50% reduced damage from his AOE Qs. This makes it easy for us to whittle him down. Early on (Levels 1-3), just chill and farm safely. He can poke you with Q, but he can't go for proper all-ins if you keep distance. Whenever he E's forward, you immediately punish and full combo him with E and W. This is how you force his Flash or get the kill, letting you snowball. Once you hit Level 6, you smash him because Maiden lets you spawn endless ghouls and poke him right out of lane, getting you plates and gold. Just be sure to dodge his Q-W combo, or flash out if he lands it.

What are some tips for the Yorick vs. Sion matchup?

Sion is tanky but manageable. Use the side of your W cage to cancel his charged Q and to completely block his ultimate (R). Yorick easily shreds him due to Maiden's percent health damage and access to Sunderer. Play for the four-grave setup and aim for kills while prioritizing Q cancelation. Be careful as he can E your ghouls and Maiden, often trying to E Maiden into the tower.

Chogath	Easy	108	50%	+184	+1057	Cho'Gath has high damage and sustains hard by one-shotting ghouls to gain health/mana. Don't let this turn into a slow poke war because of his sustain. Aim to kill him in one big all-in or two. Be extremely careful about Maiden; he can eat her for 1,000 true damage and get an R stack. If he tries to eat her, punish him aggressively, as a four-ghoul setup does massive damage. Three points in W is awesome because he struggles to break the wall. Consider ignite for early kill pressure

Garen	Hard	106	42%	-17	-486	Garen has a weak early game and is fundamentally countered by your wall. . Setup graves safely early and aim for long trades, kite him in and out of your W cage to minimize damage taken from his E. Be careful of the Level 6 Ignite cheese, as his ultimate deals true damage. Build armor if you're struggling.

Renekton	Very Hard	103	46%	-195	-480	Renekton is one of the strongest early-game champions, with insane damage, sustain, and two dashes. However, his abilities have long cooldowns after his combo. The strategy is to bait him into using his full combo, then go for an extended trade looking for a solo kill. Do not engage with the four-grave setup; let him engage on you. Never fight him on full Fury, and respect him above 50 Fury. If he attempts to trade when you go for CS, always respond with a Q. Play relatively safe and scale until you reach two items, at which point you beat him.

Mordekaiser	Easy	100	50%	+436	+1162	Mordekaiser is a difficult matchup, particularly post-Level 6. Pre-6, it's a standard lane: play for the four-grave setup, and when engaging, dodge his Q and E skills to win the all-in and gain a lead. Post-Level 6, ALWAYS save W for when he uses R (Death Realm).
