Yorick vs Singed Counter Pick

Movement decides this pairing before damage does. Singed runs at 345 base move speed to Yorick’s 340 and adds a burst of speed through Noxious Slipstream every time he drafts past a champion, so a fight only happens when he wants one. Yorick has no dash to correct the difference, and 559 games on 16.13.1 settle at 44.5% for him, rated Hard.

The damage profile is the second half. Singed is a pure magic damage source, so armor — the stat Mourning Mist reduces, and the stat Yorick naturally accumulates toward 112.5 by level 18 — buys nothing against Poison Trail. Magic resistance is the purchase, starting from 32 on both sides. Insanity Potion then applies Grievous Wounds through that poison, cutting the healing Last Rites provides on every empowered attack, which is the sustain Yorick relies on to hold his ground. Mega Adhesive slows and grounds, Fling repositions him over the ghoul line, and the pair of them pull Yorick away from the Maiden of the Mist. Health favours Yorick heavily by level 18, 2,588 against 2,282, and difficulty sits at 6 to 5 — the deficit comes from a chase he is not built to win rather than from a losing statline.
