Is Maiden power spike not as strong anymore?

Asking primarily to any Master+ or at least Diamond Yorick main. I feel like the Maiden power spike is negligible compared to pre rework and it's not supposed to be like that. I don't even feel the Maiden magic damage with Yorick auto attacks anymore. Ghouls are weaker, I understand that. I could say 8 current ghouls are weaker than 4 pre rework ghouls, but maiden and Q should be stronger.

I just don't find myself winning any trades not even if I have absolutely everything: ghouls, a perfect cage, Q with grasp/full conqueror I feel like level 6 is too weak. Isn't Yorick supposed to be a lane bully now?

Why does Fiora get free 60% bonus attack speed?

That's something I will never understand. From my perspective she scales heavenly, can teamfight, has the strongest sideline and split push potential burst dps and true damage alongside with the highest mobility compared to other duelists why does she get 60% bonus attack speed at level 13?

That's insane it's more than 3000g worth of attack speed and there is no real reason for it. The only champion who can rush zero attack speed as a duelist is Trundle and he is fucking trash, he also needs to use an ability in order to get the extra AS while Fiora can just have it for free.

You give free stats to someone when they can't build it efficiently and has to utilize it in order to work. For example Shen with attack speed or Illaoi with base MS. Illaoi is probably the slowest champion and Shen can only build attack speed as a third item and has no ult for duels. I just don't get it.

My best champion is Yone and he gets hard countered by her, but trust me I always beat her ass because I know the matchup, so I'm not calling her broken. It feels so unfair when I build extra 30% attack speed and I'm forced to rush it not only with my first item but also with boots every single game and then I see her build with tiamat, scepter and tabis and somehow I have 1.13 attack speed and she has 1.10.

I also play Shen and it's the exact same history I can win lane even if that's not my job and I still have to deal with her having more attack speed than my ADC with half of his inventory full of AS.

Singed being a hard counter shows how useless Yorick is.

A ranged slow, a way to deal damage without needing to be in melee range, a CAGE that forces Singed to be still and neutralize his main source of damage for some seconds and worst of all, the perfect anti proxy farm tool. Singed shouldn't be able to do shit.

In reality ghouls are so bad they die in one second and four of them + E (140+ mana) deal 20% the damage that he deals with half a second in his Q. He hard wins level 2 and 3 but he doesn't need to fight because ghouls can't hold a wave more than three seconds in early game and because maiden is the only way to stop him, he can just farm under tower to outscale from level 10 and kill maiden throwing her under it.

So, ghouls are useless and by the time you dodge most of the poison and land a Q the 0.15 seconds you step in his stupid Q hitbox you somehow lose the trade by 100 or more hp.

This happens against so many champions. Volibear should be a free matchup but ghouls are so underpowered and Yorick is so fucking incomplete as a champion that no matter if he is with maiden he will always lose lane or win it then perma push without any option and get outscaled. Same with Renekton, same with Kled.

Before any stupid comment I am a Master player and I don't have any problem in sharing my account. I don't instantly release Maiden off cooldown and don't raise ghouls with Q in lane unless I need them to hold a wave for a useless nanosecond or to bait lvl1 extended trades in some of the only 3 good matchups for this champion. If Yorick feels good in your gold 3 lobbies please don't even comment

Ghouls scaling with different stats

What do you think about this idea for a fictional rework?

Similar to Kaisa, what if ghouls started being very weak but scaled with different stats and gain different effects?

Like if the first stat maxed is AP, for example 130 AP, ghouls deal extra magic damage and slows a bit when they jump.

If the first stat is AS, then maybe they can stack attack speed so you could spawn them, let them stack AS, throw E and they would start hitting fast.

they could also scale with armor so they can be more tanky and maybe deal more damage to minions.

I always lose to Sion

I am a Master player so I am not new to the game. I know Yone has every tool to outplay Sion but every time I have to lane against him I get destroyed.

He dominates me or completely negates my level 1-2 and then proceeds to deal more damage than me after level 3 even If I dodge Q and break his shield. One single charged Q is worth at least two of my combos in damage since his W tanks it all.

I build bork and I finally deal damage but if he goes full armor first or a lethality item then tank, my damage is never enough and he kills me anyway...

with bork and ldr it's enough to kill him in one sec but bork shieldbow do nothing to him.

Also he can always just push ult away push out away and there is no way to stop him without burning all CDs

Why is Yorick allowed to be in this state?

50% Yorick mains hate his play style 30% stopped playing and the other ones are new mains who enjoy a braindead no skill Nasus play style and are all below Emerald.

Does Riot hate this champion? is it because he is not Ahri or Jinx permanently top 3 best champions 52% winrate 20% pick rate?

Every single patch he gets worse since everyone can abuse items and runes and he can't

Naafiri can proc DFT but Yorick can't

Naafiri's pets (once the bleed is gone) can still apply the damage amplification of DFT. Yorick ghouls almost always attack at the same time and they attack slower so not even four of them can't proc the rune. When someone moves and one ghoul attacks first, most of the time it is still not enough for some reason.

Not to mention Naaf applies bleed so she can apply the full damage of the rune level 1 and even without any dog.

Also did you know one Naaf Q1 level 10 just with voltaic deals more damage than 4 Yorick level 18 one item (four AA) oh and they can't apply the rune as I said
