Quote:What they said about Yorick: - He's a Necromancer - Apparently digs up his pets - Three different kinds of pets with short life spans with a unique effect. - The green pet will explode and slow - Yorick can slow champs he hits too (maybe his passive?) and this is meant to be in synergy with his pets

Quote:What they said about Leona: - FEMALE TANK! True TANK! - "First in, last out" apparently. - Works with "sunlight". - Her ULT if I heard it correctly is that some sunlight comes down and slows enemies, and after 1.5 secs it does damage and stuns everyone - "Hammer of Dawn" ...

Quote:What they said about Skarner: - A new race - Art will change to have a more human face - Is an intelligent creature - Can apparently use his stinger to impale a champ and drag them around.

Quote:New map (at least one) is coming, but not any time soon, didn't say if it was Magma Chamber

Dark Link Wrote:So she's useless at TT, because sunlight doesn't exist on that map

Just played a game as Anivia with Will and Josh. Other team must have hated me sooo badly, cause I got ganked by 4 of them in mid (with good chain CC coordination I might add). Then later on, during a team standoff, their Shen ghosted and bumrushed me, and I was like "aww hell naw I know what you and Eve are trying to do!"

I also did an excessive amount of running around looking like a moron. lol

Dark Link Wrote:It's a good thing you left after that game, our next one was HORRIBLE!
pineappleing Aly and her friend fed like mofos and Rick is still terrible as always. Enemy team had +32 kills up on us.

 omg successful AD game?

Quote:All of Yorick’s abilities are subject to change, but here’s what we got to see yesterday from his creepy minions:

• Necrotic Ritual: Summons a green ghast that explodes in a cloud of poison, slowing the enemy and dealing damage over time.
  
• Devouring Ritual: Summons a red ghast that siphons life from his attacks and channels it to Yorick. It also empowers Yorick’s next attack with a hefty amount of lifesteal.
  
• Spectral Ritual: Summons a blue ghast that embodies the powerful Summoner Spell Ghost, with increased movespeed and the ability to walk through units. Best of all, he bestows the same buffs to Yorick for the duration of his brief existence, ensuring that Yorick can chase down his target.

It’s important to note that these ghasts don’t work like your average pet: they can’t be controlled, and they die fairly quickly (in the build we saw, they lasted around 4 seconds, though it’s planned to increase the duration to around 6 to 8 seconds). It’s possible to summon all three ghasts at once if you’re quick on the draw, and from what we could tell, his effects definitely stack, turning him into a damage powerhouse when all three ghasts are active. To beef him up even more, Yorick’s passive gives him stat bonuses depending on which ghasts are active.

His ultimate ability wasn’t yet finalized, but the preferred concept for it sounds amazing. Yorick would pound his shovel into the ground, sending a shockwave forward that wakes the dead beneath the soil. This slam causes skeletal hands to burst through the dirt–if an enemy champion gets caught in the shockwave, the skeletal hands will grab their feet, locking them in place. This skill-shot, lined nuke could be potentially devstating in a teamfight, much like Amumu’s, and would make for a great gank initiation from the jungle.

Eddikins Wrote:Sometimes people do it and lose sight on the person they wanted to jump.

Or i suppose you could use it defensively if someone was being chased so they can safely juke.

Dark Link Wrote:Most people who use the ult and not jump someone usually use it as a defensive CD to help their team juke away. It's really nice and helps with "Smart casting".

WillDaSnail Wrote:Ah gotcha. That's pretty smart actually. And I thought I was the one going to get jumped when I see my screen turn all dark and sh'it, lol.

Dark Link Wrote:And yet nearly all of the top Ashe players get it over Merc threads and get C&D as "Tenacity" fill-in.
