How is everyone building Yorick?

I start with Meki Pendant and build into Tear of Goddess then Manamune. I am still debating on the rest. He has good chase if he lands his Q and his W can keep the enemy from escaping you. His damage output isn't too great yet, a bit UP but maybe theres some potential we're missing.

It is strange that he has mostly magical abilities but they scale from AD. Does that mean Armor Pent not work on his W and E?

The main damage seems to come from his Q and his melee, the rest acting as CC (slow aoe) and Life Drain. His Q has funny laning but not quite strong enough to harass that well, but I honestly think if they buff that it could make him too strong in laning due to the ghost locking onto champions when in range.

He feels a little out of place in this game but I can see him getting some buffs in the future, in particular having his ghosts lasting longer by prolly a second in duration.

Sheen seems to have a place for him to go with his Q. Tanky DPS overall in general but his ghosts lasting so short is the main hinderence I believe. The second longer duration as I said could help.

So, overall, probably this so far:

Meki --> Tear --> Boots --> Manamune/Sheen --> Lucidity/Merc --> Manamune/Sheen (the other one you didn't get) --> Unknown... Trinity? Then?

The issue with this it has him wait a while to get some AD at all early on and lack of HP to go with having his ghosts last longer

Red: Armor P (his main damage seems to come from Q, the others being support)
Yellow: Clarity for mana regen
Blue: CDR
Quint: HP

Masteries I change them to find a right set. Been using similar masteries as Nasus going 0/9/21 (strength of spirit in defense) atm but may change it some more.

Going to try this other guy's build next and see how it goes:

Items: Regrowth/pot ->boots/philo stone (need mana regen) ->spirit visage / merc treads.

At this point it diverges:
Other team has lots of good AP? Banshees
AD heavy? Randuins if you feel like you need a lot of late game defense, atmas otherwise (Or chainmail and move on to trinity for now)
Not worried about dying so much? (Good control/ tanking on your team) -> Trinity

He levels E to level 2 first then max out Q so he can last hit with it.

I tried out your build meian. But I made a minor addition of wriggles which lets me farm much faster/easier. It seems to work fine so far, but hes still kinda UP overall.

so i just started playing this a few days ago, any tips for someone mostly new to the whole dota thing?

Watch the map more than you look at your own character.

Tried this build (an upgrade of the one in the spoiler), worked out better so far going pure damage. I normally hate doing this but the AD just helped all his skills significantly:

Meki --> Tear --> Boots --> B.F Sword --> Ionian --> BT --> Spirit Visage --> Manamune --> BT/Frozen Hammer --> BT/Frozen Hammer (the other you didn't get)

Focused last hitting with E mostly and occasionally Q if I could get close enough (level E to 2, then max out Q, 1 point in W at 4 in case of jumps/ganks). Not much harass because it was Nidalee and Corki on the lane vs me and Akali. Won our lane and got lots of farm out of it. Nidalee couldn't fight me when I got Frozen Hammer and ended up Flashing each time I hit her once. Lack of Trinity makes me a bit sad but felt Frozen Hammer for the HP may be better and cheaper (for now, least until I get better or if they buff him by then)

I came to this idea after I made and tried this build which wasn't quite as good (just showing it to compare, don't actually use the one in the spoiler):

Spoiler: show

Philosopher Stone --> Boots --> B.F Sword --> Ionian --> Bloodthirster --> Frozen Hammer --> B.F Sword --> Long Sword (match ended here)

290 AD, 2639 HP and 775 MP ( at level 18 )
Q Ghoul got 792 HP and 127 AD
The others get 87 AD

W initial damage was 165 + (232)
Wasn't sure about E because I don't recall the AD ratio atm

BT + E's effect gave a good amount of lifesteal

The 1st 10 mins is mostly about last hitting minions in your lane. Assuming youre not partying and playing people a lot higher level than you that game wont be that hard. You have a lot of time to hit level 30 and even then people are shitty all over the place. If you actually want to get good faster Id recommend watching streams on solomid. Guardsman bob being my personal favorite to watch.

[Tyrath]

Yeah I decided too that frozen mallet was better than trinity for him. But yeah, he seems to absolutely need AD to be able to do any real damage.

Hmm.. Dragon Slayer Jarvan on sale... Should I get? I still think Commando Jarv > DS Jarv though.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

IF you're gonna' get a skin, make sure it's one you really want

Yeah, I played against four Yoricks today and saw nothing very scary. I played Rammus for the first time and had a couple successful games. Taunt + Thornmail + Sunfire Cape against Yi and Tryndamere was hilarious

[deshende]

I've figured out my biggest personal fault in this game. I have a hard time adjusting to champ potentials between the end of one match and the beginning of another (with Vayne especially). If I end a match with a rapid fire crossbow and jump into fights getting quadra kills, I have a really hard time remembering I'm ultra squishy and don't have the damage potential to take on multiples at once at the beginning of new game ><

Yeah Commando is way more boss.

Practice last hitting. Avoid dying. Stick to the item's suggested for now. Save your IP (if you're buying runes) until level 20. Try to find a play-style that suits you best and practice the shit out of it (Jungling, supports, top lane solos, etc) Maybe you like casters, maybe you prefer ranged AD. Find it and master it.

Also try to avoid flaming and raging, this game has a fucked up community that will try to report you for not liking the champion you picked. I find if you don't say shit then they can't really send you to the tribunal. The report system is pretty fucked so just avoid saying negative things.

Watch the map more than you look at your own character.

Learn to watch the map while you look at your own character.

If you need any more help/tips I can try my best izembo. It would help though if you posted what exactly you had problems with, etc. though

[Serif]

Can some people post their usernames?

I usually just play with Meain and one other person from here, not sure who Rhong is on here

Mine is Health Nut btw

[aduidarnenye]

Mine is Snarkgrumble.

I'm only level 27. And sadly I only ever play Sona because I suck really really badly at everything else. I kinda suck at Sona too.
