Udyr vs Yorick · Top
The lane in ten seconds, then the whole brief — written by our coach for your level, from Riot's own kits for patch 16.22. Every number checked against Riot's data. Options, never orders.
The same lane is not played the same way in Silver and in Diamond: pick your level, the advice changes. Signed in, Olymps opens on your rank. Coaching, not statistics — the abilities and Riot's cooldowns are the same at every level.
Dodge his E, then stun him with yours and trade up close.
Sidestep it; the armor loss and slow set up his fight.

How the lane plays · Iron – Silver
Udyr wants to stick to Yorick and trade up close, while Yorick wants to poke with Q and E, wall you off and take the long fight.
Yorick's range lets him poke you while you last-hit. Stand where you can reach him with E (Blazing Stampede), and trade when his Q (Last Rites) is on cooldown.
Yorick's E (Mourning Mist) lowers your armor and slows you. Dodge it, then stun with E and fight with Q and W. Don't chase into his W (Dark Procession).
Yorick's R (Eulogy of the Isles) brings the Maiden and a bonus damage window. Trade before it is up, or use R (Wingborne Storm) to keep it short.
Play it aggressive
After he wastes E or W, walk up with E (Blazing Stampede) to stun and trade while those are on cooldown.
When his Q is spent after a last-hit, step in with E and fight with Q and W for a short trade.
When the wave is pushed toward you, fight near your tower so his wall and Walkers don't help him escape.
Play it safe
When he has all abilities up and the Maiden out, skip the long trade. The bonus damage on his attacks hurts.
Don't chase him through or past W (Dark Procession). The wall can cut you off and leave you slowed for his Walkers.
If his Walkers are near the wave, a fight there gives him extra bodies. Back off and wait for them to expire.
Their threats · Riot's cooldowns
His next attack hits harder and heals him, and digs a grave on you. Don't let him trade freely when you walk up for CS.
The wall can trap you in a chase or cut off your escape. Don't run in a straight line after him; step around it and reset.
It lowers your armor, slows you and marks you, so his Walkers run at you faster. Sidestep it and don't stand in a line with him.
Your combo

vs TeemoHow this is written
Our coach reads both kits exactly as Riot publishes them for the current patch — abilities, cooldowns, costs, ranges — and writes the lane for one level at a time: Iron – Silver, Gold – Platinum, Emerald – Diamond, Master+. Every number in the text is checked against Riot's data; a line that cites anything else is dropped. No win rates, no tier lists: coaching, not statistics.
