Fans have long waited for League of Legends – Is this the long-awaited rework of the grave digger?
A new teaser for League of Legends may announce the rework of the hero “Yorick”. In a rework, the abilities of a hero are overhauled to better fit the current game. Often, the reason is that the playstyle, compared to other champions, is too “boring” or “monotonous”. Yorick has been in the game since 22.06.2011 and has “gathered dust” with his abilities. Many players have long called for a rework of the champion – now it might soon be time.
A new shovel for the grave digger?
On the various social media channels of Riot Games, a picture can be seen since yesterday that likely announces the rework of Yorick. The champion in the grave digger style is known for carrying a shovel as a weapon. Such a shovel can be seen in the image teaser.
There were many discussions about the picture on Reddit. One user said: “They will probably just delete Yorick, they buried him with his own shovel – how cruel!”. A response from a Riot employee was, “You might want to take a closer look…”.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the thing behind the shovel is not a house or random drawing at all. It is Yorick approaching the shovel. Additionally, things that look like hands are coming out of the ground. This is most likely a reference to the rework of Yorick, as further emphasized by the hashtags used on Instagram. The image description states: “You will not forget.#leagueoflegends #leaks #abouttime#whodat”
After the major Taric rework, the “new” Yorick could also bring fresh air to League of Legends. What skills do you think the new Yorick should have?
