This is Yorick's own plan; across 658 pooled games the lane is Yorick-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even: Blooming Burst costs 50 mana and she has no root yet. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays hers with double-Q burst and disguise mind-games. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 is still Neeko's off E-into-Q poke that zones you from CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay hers: Tangle-Barbs roots at 1000 range every 10s. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is hers: Pop Blossom knocks up and stuns, hidden while disguised. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item still hers — her burst leads your chip until you can split. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | With 2+ items you out-splitpush the burst mage who can't answer Maiden. |
Levels 1-3 are Neeko's: Q Blooming Burst chunks you through the wave and E Tangle-Barbs roots you for free poke while her passive disguise baits your cooldowns, so play safe and farm.
