Vayne vs Yorick Counter Pick

The damage model needs three consecutive hits on a single target, and Yorick‘s kit exists to break sequences. Shepherd of Souls summons Mist Walkers that swarm nearby enemies, Eulogy of the Isles adds the Maiden of the Mist as a permanent second body, and every unit that has to be cleared is a Silver Bolts stack thrown away. Patch 16.13.1 records 41.2% for Vayne across 391 games.

Dark Procession is the second problem: a destructible wall placed around a target rather than in front of one, which deletes escape routes. Condemn can use walls for its terrain stun, but Yorick chooses where they appear and when. Mourning Mist then reduces armor, slows, and accelerates his summons toward the marked target, which is how a 175-unit melee champion reaches a 550-unit ranged one. Last Rites heals him on the empowered attack, so poke that does not kill does not stick. His durability supports the plan — 650 health at level 1, 2,588 at level 18, 340 movement speed against 330, 62 base attack damage against 60 — and his mixed damage means no single defensive stat closes the hole. He is rated 6 for difficulty against 8. The workable version keeps Tumble for stack repositioning instead of damage and refuses extended fights near a fresh grave line.
