•Yorick lane starts with grave count: if you do not have graves banked, you usually do not have a trade, so look to tag E on a last-hit or after their dash and place W on the route they need rather than opening with a blind cage
•Maiden is a map piece, not just combat stats—keep her attached when you need the full duel, and only release her with enough time and lane length that she is already forcing a side-wave answer before the objective setup starts
•Yorick's best games keep making the same answer come back to a worse lane, and the data says his leads lose a lot of bite when they turn into long games without real structure damage behind them
