They just nerf everything to death, we are now seeing Urgot played mid because everything else has been nerfed over and over. It really seems like they dont know what/how to nerf/buff champions properly...if they did proper research they could figure it all out better, there's better ways to get stuff like urgot played more.
Urgot got buffs to his shield, and he wasn't as bad as people thought in the first place. That's why he's seeing play now; not because everything was nerfed to be worse than him.
That doesn't matter anyway.
well urgot was buffed. We have had 2 years of a nerf start though. I do agree in general with what you are saying. Irellia came back for the same reason.
Hmm lets go down the list:
Urgot got changes to his shield scaling, and as we've seen, he's seeing play because he's very strong in a team composition, able to shred tanks, able to deal out constant poke with a lock on ability and able to build tanky. Able to force AP Carry and AD Carry into horrible positioning because of his ultimate. The fact he's considered to be a strong pick against ZED should tell you that he's not as trash as the community makes him out to be.
Blitzcrank needed that change to W, his lane dominance has just been way too ridiculous. Miss a Q? Just run up and punch whoever you missed.
As far Kassadin, he's a balance nightmare with the design of his kit, hyper mobility combined with damage is hell to balance properly, see Kalista and Yasuo. Can't really fault them for struggling with that one.
Anything else?
The point is blindly nerfing everything isn't good balance.
i actually agree that nerfing over nerfing is a very lazy and bad approach. because it just , means that same problems are being rotated and ending up in a worse situation. But OP is wrong thinking that urgot is being played cause everything is nerfed. Hes being played actually for the complete opposite reason. Urgot is an anti carry that excel versus sustained dmg opponent and tanks.
guess what, the meta is heavily in favor of these two types of opponents because of humongous buffs on tanks and deserved buff to urgot at the same time. you are wrong on the context and reasoning of why hes being played (and besides hes not played that much)
Urgot was buffed so I'm not sure what you are talking about...
