I miss Urgot's old ultimate. It was unique, if not properly balanced and inappropriate to his old kit, but the idea of a "swap positions with enemy" ability isn't impossible to pull off.
Take Artanis' Warp Prism for one in HotS. It's a skillshot, it doesn't have much range, but when used properly it can let you pull off some awesome plays.
If the "Swap" ability were skillshot reliant, would it be more reasonable?
OurLestrade7 votesI seem to remember Riot mentioning at a point that it was a move they wanted to keep but on a different kit, so we'll probably see it again eventually. It's like how Zoe's ult was a proposed Warwick rework move from years earlier.
Chembaron Yamada2 votesThe ability made no sense on a champion known for long ranged nukes like old Urgot. It would fit best in the kit of a Vanguard.
Maybe Riot will come up with a new vanguard champion in the future and bring the skill back. I hope they keep the name, Hyperkinetic Position Reverser was an awesome name.
DuskDaUmbreon1 votesLike OurLestrade said, it's likely to come back in a later kit (I believe Riot specifically said they had plans to do that). It was just a terrible idea on a champion that was supposed to be an ADC.
darkdill1 votesCalling previous-Urgot an ADC is a bit of a stretch. He was always more of an AD Mage.
Salson1 votesI think the mark system like Kayn and Rek'Sai have for their ultimates would suit it well.
Also, it's mostly a support ability, doesn't really seem healthy anywhere else.
Ifneth1 votesI wouldn’t like it. If that champion is any good at fighting multiple enemy champs, then they could just swap places with the enemy peel and all-in the enemy carries. You’d just insta-lose the teamfight.
Noor Sakata1 votesWell his E does a similar job tho
darkdill1 votesHis E is more like Diablo's Q and E merged together but without the wall-pin mechanics.
