Yorick (Meowrick)

RP Cost: 1350 | Release Date: October 31, 2019

Yorick, the Shepherd of Lost Souls, has always been a mysterious and haunting champion in the world of League of Legends. With his dark and brooding appearance, Yorick has captured the hearts of many players who enjoy playing a unique and unconventional champion. However, Riot Games decided to take a playful twist on this dark character by introducing the 'Meowrick' skin.

Released on October 31, 2019, just in time for Halloween, the Meowrick skin brings a whole new level of cuteness to Yorick. This skin transforms the once eerie and menacing champion into an adorable cat-themed character. With fluffy ears, a tail, and a cat-shaped shovel, Meowrick is sure to melt the hearts of players.

The Meowrick skin is priced at 1350 RP, making it a mid-tier skin in terms of cost. However, the level of detail and charm that this skin offers is well worth the price. From the unique animations to the playful sound effects, Meowrick truly brings a fresh and enjoyable experience to playing Yorick.

When playing as Meowrick, Yorick's abilities are transformed to match his feline appearance. His Q ability, 'Shepherd's Call,' now has Yorick summoning a playful kitten to attack his enemies. The W ability, 'Dark Procession,' creates a line of adorable cat-shaped tombstones that block enemy movement. Yorick's E ability, 'Mourning Mist,' now releases a cloud of cute little paw prints that damage and slow enemies. Finally, Yorick's ultimate ability, 'Eulogy of the Isles,' summons a massive cat statue to aid him in battle.

Not only do Yorick's abilities change with the Meowrick skin, but his recall animation also receives a delightful makeover. Instead of Yorick disappearing into the ground, he now curls up into a cozy cat bed and takes a quick catnap. It's a small detail, but it adds to the overall charm of the skin.

Now, let's take a step back and delve into the story of Yorick and his place in the League of Legends universe. Yorick Mori, as he was once known, was a gravedigger in the Blessed Isles. He had a deep connection with the spirits of the dead and was tasked with guiding lost souls to the afterlife. However, tragedy struck when the Black Mist engulfed the Blessed Isles, corrupting the souls and turning them into mindless ghouls.

Yorick, determined to fulfill his duty, took up his shovel and became the last remaining shepherd of souls. He roams the Shadow Isles, seeking to put the restless spirits to rest and restore balance to the land. Yorick's abilities reflect his role as a shepherd, as he summons ghouls and uses his shovel to devastating effect.

In the game, Yorick is primarily played in the top lane as a split-pushing champion. His ability to summon ghouls and control the battlefield makes him a formidable opponent in one-on-one situations. Yorick's strength lies in his ability to sustain himself in lane and push down towers with his ghouls. However, he can struggle against champions with high mobility or crowd control, as they can easily disrupt his ghouls and prevent him from unleashing his full potential.

Yorick's unique playstyle and lore have made him a beloved champion among League of Legends players. Whether you're a fan of his dark and brooding persona or the adorable Meowrick skin, there's no denying the impact Yorick has had on the game.
