How to play it

Don't get caged
His W traps you, and a good Yorick puts extra points into it so you need more autos to escape: stay out of its range.
Hold your E
In W range and away from your tower, don't spend E: save it to auto-cancel into E on the cage so you can escape.
Play safe early
Before 6 there's little you can do: play as safe as possible and just farm.
Never spend your E while in his W range and away from tower: you'll have no way out when he cages you.
