New Urgot: First Impressions

D2Vincent··2 votes·382 views

Bit of a disclaimer here, take what I'm saying with a grain of salt as my first time with new Urgot was with the Practice tool. However, I would just like to incite some discussion about New Urgot now that he's officially out on live!

#Playstyle I actually like Urgot's playstyle now, despite almost never playing an AD champ like this. (I mostly play AP champs like Teemo, Cho'Gath and Karthus, tried GP a couple times, couldn't get the hang of it.) I've sort of learned how to manage his combo where you start with shooting 1 half of your shotgun knees, grab with E, then turn on W to mitigate some damage (at least, I think that's the proper combo lol), and then the Ult for the finisher. On top of that, he seems to be a decent Jungler so long as you start W first.

My JG Route was the following: Red > Krugs (smite) > Birds > Wolves > (smite) > Blue > Gromp. I did end up using my pots, and by myself I managed to clear around 4:30, but I'm not that good at JG anyway lol. Warrior Enchant seems to be the preferred Option for the AD and CDR.


#Builds

I tried 2 different builds here, one being a sort of "Standard" build for Urgot, and the other was an experimental "CritGot" build (or as I like to call it, GotCrit?)

Standard Build: item 3071item 3022item 3053item 3009 and any other situational items like item 3033 and item 3026 or something like that.

Pretty Standard stuff here I think, BC boosts you when you hit something, Mallet slows enemies when you hit them, Boots are here for extra slow resist, the usual stuff here as far as I know.

GotCrit? Build: item 3508item 3085item 3046item 3031item 3009 and one last item, probably item 3072 or item 3153 for the lifesteal.

I find this one kinda interesting. Turns out, the Hurricane bolts with proc several knees at once if angled right. One major downside with this build is that it doesn't work with your W, so maybe you'll be maxing E first instead if you decide to go this build.


This is pretty much most of what I know at this point. If anyone else happens to have any useful information, please put it in the comments below. Counters, better JG routes, questions maybe? Feel free to discuss! :D

your gotcrit build is WAAYYY too expensive dude. There's no way he will be able to do anything meaningful with that build OVER someone like cait/twitch/xayah ect.

I think you have the right idea with your bruiserish build so he can be pretty good mid game, but that late game build you went for is just too out of line. Remember, they wanted to keep him in the top lane, not as a high DPS adc thing

Urgot's w can actually attack an ally gangplank's barrels. It doesn't destroy them, but just something that urgot players should know as that damage is lost.
