Favour timeline — the windows in Rumble's game plan

Read from Rumble's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.

This is Rumble's own plan; across 1,013 pooled games the lane is leaning Yorick.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYorick has no Maiden and just one ghoul passive auto at level 1 — Flamespitter covers the melee range he needs to trade, so walk it across him for free chip.
Level 2RumbleYour Q-into-double-E-slow comes online and lets you stick damage and disengage before his E cage can respond — your earliest real bully window.
Level 3RumbleFull kit means sustained Danger-Zone Flamespitter plus two harpoon slows; he cannot walk through that cone cleanly without Maiden to tank it.
Levels 4-5Even / skillGhoul stacks are growing and Dark Procession (W) caging you near his tower becomes lethal — it is 20 seconds at rank 1, so give ground until you have seen it spent.
Level 6RumbleEqualizer fired across his Maiden's path clears ghouls, slows him, and denies the push from across the map — your biggest spike in this lane is cross-map, not 1v1.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's Torment burn shreds ghouls and Yorick in one Flamespitter cone — force fights while he still lacks the items to regenerate his army faster than you kill it.
Two+ itemsYorickMaiden plus full build Yorick outattritions everything you have; the 1v1 is lost, play Equalizer-focused macro and let your team answer the split.

How to beat Yorick as Rumble: the early game

At level 1 Yorick has only Last Rites and his Shepherd of Souls graves — no Maiden, no cage — so walk Flamespitter across him freely and bank early damage. At level 2 your Q-into-double-E-slow lets you stick damage and back off before he answers; this is the window you earn your lead. Respect Dark Procession (W), his 20-second destructible wall: caged against your own tower, the ghouls chew your health bar while you burn Overheat standing still. Mourning Mist (E) is the tell — it shreds your armour, slows you, and marks you so every Mist Walker sprints at you, so trade in the twelve seconds after it misses, never into it.
