Welcome to my Yorick support guide! I was a big fan of Yorick in the top lane but I've always been a support main so one day I just went why not and havent stopped playing him support since.

I am no competitive player I simply play the game for fun but I've spent alot of time playing Yorick and thought I'd share my thoughts on what I view is the most optimal meta for Yorick as of right now! If you find any builds or methods you view as better or more efficent let me know I'd love to try them out!

SHEPHERD OF SOULS : Spawn a grave every 12/6/2 minions death near you. Every large monster spawns a grave. Yorick has access to 4 ghouls at a time

Tips: Since you are playing a support you are basically only able to create a grave each time you have a stack on your support item. However allies killing minions near by actually increases the timer on your passive to raise a grave whichis helpful early game when trying to stack minions. DONT STEAL MINNIONS FROM YOUR ADC!! Just wait for your support item trust me you'll usually have one or two minions active for most of early game until you get Maiden.

LAST RITES: More damage, Heal, Extra range, and Create a grave

Tips: Last Rite is the bread and butter of normal Yorick and support Yorick is no different. Its actually more important in this scenario since Yoricks main source of damage support lane is his minion poke the best advice is to not spam one minnion on someone but build up at least 3 before attacking summoning them as they wont do much if you just send one and will make you useless in lane. Youre prob gonna steal a few kills for your adc to begin with but once you learn how much damage it does you get use to it and can almost perfectly demolish your enemies health for your adc to clean up.

DARK PROCESSION: A BIG OL'CAGE
Tips: This is a very useful tool for trapping adc and support alike along with blocking ganks and all in's from killing your adc. Look for key times to use it and dont spam it as its cool down is pretty long.

MOURNING MIST: Hurl goop at enemy, Damage them, Mark them, Send any ghoul after them, and increase movment speed and damage against them
Tips: Don't miss? Thats prob the best advice I can give. Its a skill shot you have to hit it to engage or do most of Yoricks kit. You get a speed boost towards enemies slow them and send minions after them just be wary not to do it with Maiden too close or Maiden will sometimes go awall and just dive bomb them leaving you.

EULOGY OF THE ISLES: SUMMON THE MAIDEN 3V2
Tips: The Maiden is my favorite part about Yorick and what allows for the most flexibility. If you are losing the lane its best to stick to turret and use maiden to basically never let them damage turret and waiting for either a gank from a lane doing good or to stop them from getting stronger and stronger until late game (usually you can destroy there turret even if they're fed if played right. If you're doing well just send your fed adc somewhere else and just go ham bot lane destroy it play coward when you should and just weasel your way to inhib. If your doing eh then Maiden usually allows you to turn the tide and get your adc some kills. Just be weary to not let maiden steal the kill Mourning mist increases damage for minions including maiden so be weary when using it.
