How to play it

Dodge his E
His E is a cone slow: if it lands while you're stuck in his cage, his ghouls do a ton of damage, so dodge it.
Q Grasp trades
Dodge the E and just run at him for a Q Grasp trade: you win those easily.
Win early, he scales
Play at least a bit aggressively early since Yorick is very weak early but outscales you.
Never Q in blind: if he hits his E and his cage together, he can one-shot you.
