About Urgot @RiotRepertoir

Hello,

It was mentionned that some exploration was made on Urgot regarding his awful itemization. For any readers, urgot is suffering of a huge lack of flexibilty in his item path. Especially because of his state of "ranged" juggernaut. Every item he could use as a juggernaut was abused by ranged champion, making those items (Frozen mallet is the last example) far far less good on him or just straight up not usable because of his range (sterak gage, titanic hydra for example), while being punished to choose another way to build crit or attack speed by the value and restraints from his kit. As for now, urgot is forced to build item that doesn't belong to his classe if he want something else than black cleaver, he can build lethality or death dance, it is not much fitting his fantasy, while being not that great on him.

I forgot to ask my question with my talk Did you guys found any good idea for him? Beside the melee making that you disliked?

I do hope they do something to help him, I find it way too painful to play him in ranked anymore, and I used him to counterpick a good bunch of the meta champs we have atm. Now I have to get a lead or just turn into crab meat.

Are you referring to my conversation with Rioter "Cosmic Existence?"

robochicken7: But i have a question thats been bugging me for a while that maybe you can help with? Its regarding a champion I hold dear to my heart: Urgot

Cosmic Existence: Yeah! What's up?

robochicken7:Is there any plans to try and attempt to let him use melee items again? I know you at riot have tried it where he can just straight up build them like he could immediately after the rework, but didnt enjoy it. I saw a post later on though, about making the shots that proc shotgun knees count as melee, and was wondering if that's something you are considering? I would love to build Titanic, Ravenous, and Sterak's on my main cough one-trick cough Urgot again

Cosmic Existence: Right now we're avoid that, even Rakan (bless his heart), can't use melee items avoiding*

robochicken7: That's fair. I just feel as if Urgot, being the only ranged juggernaut, somewhat suffers from poor itemization is all. That's alright though. If urgot gets it, rakan and thresh mains will break out of their dens and riot at... Well, Riot.

Cosmic Existence: Haha True

Ranged items aren't great for juggernauts right now

I hope there's new changes to come
