A data-driven breakdown of Yorick Mid for patch 16.11: the most-played and highest-win-rate builds and runes, the matchups that beat Yorick, synergy partners, and how Yorick closes games — all from ranked Emerald+ data.
Yorick is an AD juggernaut in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a situational pick — a 52.0% win rate, 0.1% pick rate, 1,689 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Yorick is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Yorick wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 10/10 split-push, 8/10 waveclear. Play around where Yorick is thin, engage and teamfighting (3/10, 3/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
The most-played core build is Voltaic Cyclosword, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Lord Dominik's Regards, which holds a 65.5% win rate across 29 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.
And on the team side, Yorick gains the most from a Seraphine (+7.5% pair win rate).
