There is seriously no need to nerf the champion. He may have a 31% presence in pro play, but he is not pick/ban and is used as a sort of consistency pick to match tanks and shovers in lane. The broad of his damage is single target, and he builds damage items that bring utility for his passive. He is no where near as tanky as picks like Ornn or Maokai, I would say he matches Gnar's tankiness but balances this by not having the obnoxious range or mobility. His kit has a learning curve and a mastery expression in his E's ability to buffer crowd control, and as a juggernaut he finds himself usefull not in split pushing, but in teamfights by using Fear Beyon Death + item 3800 to land a 3-4 man fear after pull, something that is gated by his team's ability to follow him up.

Urgot took an entire year to be viable just from quality of life changes, he currently sits at a 50% winrate with 5% playrate, listed as an A TIER in soloq,

There is no reason to nerf this champion, let alone not touch champions like Kaisa or Lucian.

In the LCK he's now a must-pick/ban because he wins every lane matchup then proceeds to be disgustingly tanky with good damage. Admittedly part of it is his synergy with Cho since they can execute a late game tank together from half hp.

They are buffing Lucian too.

He's gonna be overbearing again, I'm calling it now.

Wait are they seriously nerfing urgot? Screw them. I don't want to watch their stupid championships. Riot has the gaming maturity of an edgy 13 year old.

Translation: Urgot is getting nerfed into the gutter because he saw the light of day in LCS

Actually Urgot is picked a lot in Korean soloq and is being picked up more here in NA and in EU. Urgot is just really unfun to play against in top lane for the most part and honestly his rework was kinda garbage.

HaIlMonitor9/10/2018, 8:43:55 PM4 votes

They are doing pro play bans, so he will likely get slaughtered for now. Its dumb though for sure.

As an Urgot main, I'm actually worried now...

Lucian is fine lul, the buff is stupid though. I found it really weird that you used Lucian as your go to for poor balancing, i can understand kai sa though.

I actually think his ulti should scale better with bonus ad and the death thresh-hold should also scale with his damage sorta like Pyke's ulti.

I mean they fucked yorick after 2 pro games where he was only picked as a counter to GP... So not much hope here.

boricCentaur19/10/2018, 4:50:05 PM2 votes

Your right he should not be nerfed for being good right now but I think we should nerf him but let him build items that are melee only since I think it would make him feel better as a champion.

I main Jungle and roaming mid lanes, but I was maining top around urgots release. The problem IMO with urgot, is he is impossible to defeat in lane by yourself. He has escapes, shields, burst, and the sniper one hit ult. He's EXTREMELY easy to gank when he's extended though, he can barely defend himself if he's used the SHOTGUN KNEES at the angle you engage from. But he's oppressive, and his shield absorbs any trades you might try to deal on him, very OP in the lane, but not very useful in teamfights from my experience.

It doesn't matter if he isn't overbearing. He's played in LCS his fate is sealed.

Rexxiee9/11/2018, 2:05:32 AM1 votes

Urgot is completely broken atm, so much hes basically instapick now in LCK if left open.

Azeranth9/11/2018, 7:05:22 AM1 votes

Any range into a melee is toxic, in lane he has far too much base durability out of his Sheild which is a percentage reduction of damage. His charge is way to consistent in melee, and its not effected by the wave. His Q doesn't have to land on the target to mess them cause his range on purge is more than any champion can get away from without flash.

Because hes ranged you always lose the trade, running away, and if he blocks a combo on a champion who could pressure him early like say renekton or darius, but the damn thing lasts so long. You can't conserve the abilities past that wait out because if you do, he'll just dash out on you. And of course, no amount of baiting will matter into a range match up, because he has a slow and a dash and a resistance steroid, so even if you force one or two

1.) You still traded even because of how much base damage he gets 2.) He still has the remaining one to deal with you and farm from a safe distance awaiting cooldowns.

SPEAKING OF COOLDOWNS

Urgot abuses CDR, he builds a first item cleaver which give the shred from his W, the CDR on everything, the MS passive to keep him constantly phaged up, because thats how his purge works essentially negating the self slow and giving really good chase through the wave when his passive kills things. The CDR is so problematic because of how much base damage is in his kit. The reason tanks don't get good base damage but often get silly ratios (take malphite for example) is because when you give a tank good ratios, they stack fighter items with CDR and steam roll things.

Then add onto all that bullshit which makes him good through lane and first item, he goes mallet, so hes super sticky, super safe, does tons of undodgable passive damage, AND shreds tanks. and supposing he gets engaged on, well dont worry, his purge allows him to drop that sweet sweet max health damage in coneS plural around himself 8 times, before dashing out, and gaining his collosus on top of his W purge resists, all the while providing armor shred from cleaver to every target. There is no point in the game where urgot suffers against any class of champions.

What will the nerf be/is it a big or small nerf?

Urgot is annoying though lets be honest.

The shield he gets is massive.

Riot will nerf him before worlds for sure the cho'gath + urgot combo is so stupid u can instakill a tank from 50% hp this is busted.

Why are people complaining about lucian again? He doesn't have any presence until the late game, unless he's superfed. Untill then, hes just a useless (albeit mobile) sack of gold for anyone who can pick him off.

Sharpest glasses9/11/2018, 1:24:30 PM1 votes

Two things :

first

Urgot is strong, NOT overbearing.

Its not to Urgots to say it.

Second

Its not for Solo Q nor low elo, but for pro play.
