Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zac.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | Level 1 favours you — you out-trade a low-damage early Zac with Q sustain. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as Zac gains his Q pull and blob sustain to stabilise. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill-based; neither has a clean all-in yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yorick | Level 4 is yours — W cage on his E engage plus Maiden out-DPS him. |
| Level 6 | Yorick | Level 6 favours you because his R is a fight tool, useless in a lane 1v1. |
| First item | Yorick | First item is yours as Maiden's sustained pressure beats his blob heal. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two-plus items even out — Zac shifts to roaming and teamfight engage. |
Level 1-2 favour you — Zac is low-damage early and you out-trade with Q sustain and E poke. Watch his Q pull but punish him every time he steps up for a minion.

Nobody on paper — a 50.11% win rate over 870 games makes this a coin flip decided by play, not champion select.
Yes — Yorick vs Zac is a genuine skill matchup: 50.11% win rate, and the favour swings window to window rather than being set at champion select.
No hard counter either way — the Yorick vs Zac win rate is 50.11%, an even lane decided by execution.
Yorick takes Press the Attack on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Bone Plating and Unflinching) vs Zac.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Trinity Force (the all-purpose spike) first, then Hullbreaker, with Plated Steelcaps.
