How to win lane as Singed against Yorick · 53.09% win rate over 1,181 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | Yorick spawns ghouls off the first minion wave and his E mark gives instant slow and root on exit — you have no reliable way to kite him yet, so concede and proxy. |
| Level 2 | Yorick | With two ghouls and Dark Procession available, Yorick can wall you mid-retreat and win the extended trade before your Fling cooldown resets — avoid all-ins. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full kit online but Yorick's ghoul swarm still outnumbers your damage; trade by running Poison Trail through his minions and ghouls, not through Yorick himself. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxy under his tower forces Yorick to choose between his wave and chasing you — his ghouls waste on your turret while you bank gold and deny graves stacks. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion's movement speed and magic resist let you outrun the ghoul swarm and fling Yorick away from Maiden — this is your lane-flip window. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's turns every Poison Trail pass into a slow that pins Yorick out of Dark Procession range — force the 1v1 here while he still can't sustain through your kite. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Maiden plus full ghoul army outraces your poison attrition at two-plus items — proxy and split rather than duel; the map pressure wins the game, not the 1v1. |
You lose levels 1-2 outright — Yorick's first ghoul from the wave and his E mark let him all-in you before you can build any kite angle, and your Poison Trail alone doesn't keep pace with his burst. Don't contest the wave early: proxy under his tower or behind his wave to deny him the ghoul stacks he needs. The moment he marks you with E and his ghouls are up, disengage hard — running into his mist slows you and sets up a Dark Procession wall that removes Fling as an escape. If you're forced to trade, bait him inside your poison cloud and immediately run perpendicular so his ghouls overshoot; even at level 3 with Mega Adhesive you're not winning the prolonged fight, you're buying time.
