Renekton vs Yorick Counter Pick

Yorick fights through proxies. Mist Walkers summoned by Shepherd of Souls and the Maiden of the Mist from Eulogy of the Isles deliver much of his damage, which means his strength accumulates over an exchange instead of appearing at its start. Across 1,426 games logged in patch 16.13.1 Renekton takes the matchup at 53.9%, and that timing difference is the reason.

Cull the Meek answers the summons directly, striking everything around him and healing for a portion of the damage dealt, so a swarm of Mist Walkers becomes a healing source rather than a threat. Dark Procession is the ability that genuinely constrains him: a destructible wall dropped after Slice and Dice has already been spent leaves no exit, which makes holding the second dash more important here than in most melee fights. Mourning Mist reduces armor, marks the target and accelerates Yorick‘s summons toward it, so the moment it lands is the moment to disengage rather than keep swinging.

The bodies are close—660 base health against 650, 35 armor against 36, 2,547 against 2,588 at level 18—while Renekton holds 69 base attack damage to 62, 345 movement speed to 340 and 125 attack range against 175. Difficulty ratings of 3 and 6 tilt the practical side toward the simpler kit.
