Isn't he already plenty strong?

No? Urgot has the same problem that pre-rework Sion had. It doesn't really matter how scary he gets, the solution is just to walk away from him and there's nothing he can do about it. His Q is legitimately one of the worst abilities in the entire game and really only meant to trigger his W... which is where all his power budget went. Plus his W self slows despite requiring him to stay in close range to make it work.

Seriously, if you're having trouble fighting against Urgot just try walking away.

The only problem is, I play melee champs at top so it gets a bit annoying.

There are next to 0 ranged top laners that are presently usable. (And no I will NOT play that bitch Quinn)

Besides aren't Juggernauts supposed to be immobile?

Also Urgot is banned so often in my elo I almost never see him so I'm going off what I've seen

Nope. Urgot is actually the worst top laner right now.

Mordekaiser is worse, so is Shyvana

Shyvana isn't a top laner.

Mordekaiser doesn't take more damage with his abilities than he deals out against Bramble Vest.

The reason they buff urgot is because he has trouble pulling his DPS off. His Q can be dodged really easy, legit the only times i have seen any urgot hit his Q was either because the enemy had minion block, was already slowed or right after his E when they were still stunned from the flip over. Urgot's self slow is also a Problem because the only way to get around it is swifty boots AND landing your slows on the enemy so they basically out-slow you. With urgot ANY mobility creep has the easiest time imaginable engaging or escaping

I'm pretty sure Swifty Boots doesn't affect the self-slow since it's his base movement speed being reduced.

Eternal TormentAug 26, 20171 votes

i thought they reduce any and all slows by 20%, which would make the 125 into only an 100...thought admittedly for a flat slow like that it means Little.

anyway if swiftied dont affect it at all then i should stop buying them. yep.
