C'mon Rito. Urgot languishes at the bottom of the charts, Zed is constantly played and always strong, and you buff him over and over (or Ahri- same thing). Make Urgot's ult not cancellable by roots/snares and he might just be viable again.

Nilok1 votesTo be fair, Zed's win rate did take a hit when Riot finally gave him a solid nerf. Then again, he is still the top ban because it is loathsome to play against his kit.

If I remember correctly, Urgot counters Zed.
sp4412 votesHe does. His shield and Ult make him very resistant to getting bursted, and his ult can waste precious seconds for Zed to lay in some damage, and may even get him in a fairly nasty situation, like under a turret. It's not a hard counter, since he doesn't completely invalidate Zed, but when an equally skilled Zed and Urgot face off, I'd bet on Urgot.

The issue with Urgot isn't Riot lacking the capacity to buff him into a useful spot. They're more than capable of doing that.
The issue with Urgot is that Riot's balance team values couterplay, good kit design, and generally promoting champions that fit their core ideals more than they value perfectly balancing the roster.
Urgot has serious issues with all of those things, which is why he's been stuck in the spot he's in on purpose.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of this particular balance philosophy as I'd like to play what I want to play and in a game with 100+ champions I'd like to see some of that diversity rather than being stuck with Zed mid, Lucian ADC, Thresh support on someone's team in every single game.
Treeofwar1 voteszed has a below average win rate right now less than 50% other assassins such as talon has a better win rate but talons ban rate is .7% while zeds is 81%. Zed is in a really bad spot right now like even bjergsen wont play him and he loves zed that says a lot. Zed is only good if you can land both Qs and you are really good with him. There are so many better mids out there right now than zed to pick talon does more burst than zed and its a AOE burst to a team
