How to play Yorick in ARAM Mayhem

Yorick is one of the weakest picks in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier D, #167 of 173 champions, with a 45.1% win rate over 258,585 games. Few players take it (1.1% of games), so enemies will rarely know the matchup well.

Yorick's damage is mixed (62% physical, 32% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. It soaks 58,939 damage per game and mitigates another 59,157, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't.

The Tank build, tank items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Heartsteel, Unending Despair and Warmog's Armor, with a 45.7% win rate over 81,671 games. On this build 61% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Yorick are Armored Impact, The Boom and the Bass and Mad Scientist. Cards built around health and resistances fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Double Time and Can't Touch This when you can: they do worst on Yorick. A pair to look for: Third Times the Harm with BEES!!!.

Take Flash and Mark (87% of players). Max Q (Last Rites) first, then E, then W.
