Yorick has been the strongest top lane champion for the last 5 patches

For at least the last 5 patches, Yorick has maintained his position at the top of Iron’s standings in the top lane. As of this writing, Yorick boasts an astounding 55.23% win rate in Patch 14.13, according to the League stats site U.GG.

Not only does Yorick have an impressive win rate, but he also has a notable pick rate. He has been selected in 6.3% of Iron matches. Additionally, Yorick is frequently banned, appearing in the ban list for 11.2% of games. This indicates that players recognize his power and are wary of facing him.

While Yorick may not be the best champion to pick for high-ranked or competitive players due to his easy counterability, this has not hindered his dominance in the lowest rank.

Yorick’s success in low ranks is likely attributed to his unique abilities, which allow players to overwhelm their opponent in the top lane with his ghouls. When low-ranked top laners are forced to handle not only Yorick but also his ghouls, minions, and potential jungle pressure, they often struggle to survive the laning phase. If Yorick gains an early advantage, he can quickly become an unstoppable bruiser.

For those struggling against Yorick, it is recommended to choose champions like Tryndamere, Urgot, or Trundle. These champions can make trading with Yorick more manageable, and with proper play, you should be able to counter and defeat him in one-on-one situations.

LoL Youtuber “Iron to Diamond” series receive backlashes after running it down every game https://notagamer.net/lol-youtuber-iron-to-diamond-backlashes-run-it-down/ https://notagamer.net/lol-youtuber-iron-to-diamond-backlashes-run-it-down/#respond Tue, 08 Aug 2023 11:56:56 +0000 https://notagamer.net/?p=63629 YouTuber Yaegerlol received massive backlashed from the community after throwing every single game and then striking a massive win streak in his “Iron to Diamond” series

Smurfing is a very popular trend in League of Legends. It’s simpler than ever to get a fresh account and start playing matches thanks to websites that aggressively offer Level 30 accounts.

However, a lot of these accounts eventually become levelled by bots and marked for cancellation. So, YouTuber Yeagerlol played on an account that threw over 40 matches with a less than 10% win rate before instantly shooting up to a 90% win rate with Yone in order to finish a YouTube challenge “Iron to Diamond” series.

One person may quite easily throw the entire match if everyone in the queue is giving it their all. And not everyone is good at League, so low win rates are common to see.

However, something is obviously going on when an account swings from having a 10% win rate to winning practically all of the matches with 1 champion, Yone.

VaporaDark, a content creator, exposed the account with evidence on LoL Reddit, demonstrating the name match history that corresponds with the account used in Yeager’s videos. It is hard to dispute that these accounts are identical given the usage of that name in Yeager’s “Iron to Diamond” series, which has multiple episodes on his channel.

The League community is still angry that someone is harming the game, even though it’s possible that he didn’t throw every game himself and simply bought it.

VaporaDark has also been under fire for this type of content, however he has subsequently opposed the “Iron to Diamond” series and anything similar where players purposefully utilise deranked accounts for their videos or streams.

Even if content creators aren’t deliberately throwing matches all the time, events like this have players concerned about the state of League’s solo queue at all tiers.
