Yorick into Jaxmedium

Overview

Use graves and to set up ghouls and pressure Jax's side wave.
Manage wave to avoid Jax's stun and leap all-in.
Leverage Maiden's presence post-level 6 to force tower damage and deny Jax free scaling.

Engage trades only when graves are set and hits to maximize ghouls' pressure.
Use cage to trap Jax when he commits auto attacks, punishing his reliance on autos.
Wait for Jax's cooldown before trading to avoid his stun window.

Avoid fights when graves or Maiden are down; Yorick's threat is minimal then.
Respect Jax's stun and leap as lethal all-in tools.
Beware extended fights after Jax's item spikes and level 6 without cooldown advantage.

Set graves and land to send ghouls, then trap Jax with while Maiden pressures towers.
Force Jax to respond to side-lane pressure, denying him calm scaling and forcing mistakes.
Keep Maiden alive to maintain sustained push and leverage tower damage to snowball advantage.
