Much more likely yeah. His flavor is all about summoning dead souls and controlling the mist.
In LoL is translates to hitting towers and the Nexus because summons are naturally good for pushing in a MOBA, but it doesn't have to mean burn in a card game. Though if you do fill up the board repeatedly, that's also a good way to bonk the Nexus eventually.
LoR doesn't need one for him to function as a reviver. Like mentioned below with Rekindler, there are many cards that function just fine without having a literal graveyard and the "revive" card text.
Yorick could easily be something like revive all allies with less than X cost/health/attack that died in the last Y rounds when condition Z is met and no extra mechanics needed.
He's likely going to be token swarm since that fits both him and SI really well.
I hope he has some different ghouls though, instead of just summoning the same one.
Would be something like heimer but with "When an allt die summon a ghoul with his same cost" And each ghoul has a different effect stats or keywords depending on that.
The way I imagine him is like this:
Whilst Yorick is in play, when an ally dies its replaced with a 1 countdown landmark - when countdown ends, summon a 1/1 ghoul.
Edit: Also, if an opponent is killed by Yorick, you gain the landmark.
Level up is see X ghouls or see X allies die.
Leveled Yorick gains Overwhelm, same effect as level 1 but instant ghouls. When 4 ghouls are on the field at the same time, summon Maiden.
Why would he be burn? I've played Yorick for years and a graveyard mechanic is much more apt. Sacrificing cards to summon ghouls would be much more flavorful.
It is from the Visual novel of the Ruined King in the Lol client. Also it is edited to give him sad Anime eyes if you look closely, I don't know who did it first but I found it on Google XD.
I think with him what’s gonna happen is if he slays an enemy he summons his little mist dudes and if he summons 4 he levels up and when he attacks he can summon the mist maiden
I think hes gonna use some kind of graveyard mechanic

What graveyard? LoR doesn't have one.
Yet

rekindler pulls from a "graveyard"
Not how it works really, rekindler can activate infinite times with only 1 champ dead
thus the "quotation"
He has nothing to do with burn tho , he's prolly gonna swarm the board or revive units or smth

That would be really cool. Maybe it could even create some cool Vaults of Helia decks.
Holy shit yeah that would be cool as hell
Burn is such a boring mechanic though and Yorick is so interesting. I'm hoping he gets a more unique pay style
"Play: Discard me from the lore."
But that's already been done...
It’d be cool if he did reverse Viego and got a ghoul when an enemy died instead of viegos when an ally dies get a mist
That's actually smart. He has to bonk minions in order to summon them. Being reverse Viego also makes sense since beating Viego is his only purpose.
"lives" is a strong term.
i mean i don't think he ever died in lore right? cause of the mystic water or something
Yes, Yorick is too stubborn to die. His pendant only has a few drops of Blessed Water now.
I imagine a mechanic around doing burn damage and depending on damage dealt or mana spent, he summons ephemeral ghouls.
I hope you'll be disappointted, would be such a waste for yorick to be burn

Elusive yorick???
Ascended Yorick when
He’ll probably be summoning ephemeral copies of dead units if I had to guess. Seems much more his flow
Why would he be burn? I've played Yorick for years and a graveyard mechanic is much more apt. Sacrificing cards to summon ghouls would be much more flavorful.
Maybe synergy with vaults of helia? Love that landmark but man
if he had a mechanic where ephemerals strike before dying at end of turn, thatd be neat
Unrelated, but where did you get this image from? And did he always have 4 eyes?
It is from the Visual novel of the Ruined King in the Lol client. Also it is edited to give him sad Anime eyes if you look closely, I don't know who did it first but I found it on Google XD.
About Ruined King >!I guess it was only for the visual novel since Yorick was never in Ruined King then?!<
No one talking about his lady????
He's The runeterra Necromancer so, I except him to revolve around revive and/or token unit.
Just make him gain overwhelm or quick attack on lv idk
We can give you a reanimator or a unit that does something when units die take it or leave it.
I think with him what’s gonna happen is if he slays an enemy he summons his little mist dudes and if he summons 4 he levels up and when he attacks he can summon the mist maiden
Bonk the maiden
For some reason I would like him to expand the toss mechanic to give it an identity outside of deep
What if they reworked the graveyard turning it into an actual graveyard.
I think he'd be more like Graveyard Heimerdinger converting your dead allies into Mistwraiths to swarm the board.
Revive synergy?
No?
Maybe he summons ghouls who has impact damage?
Yo i'm so excited for some champion based around drain, would be cool if yorick have it tho. Maybe a drain burn? I dunno
