My 2 cents on urgot

so this is just me talking about how I think urgot is really good, well.... pretty good. im not gonna say he's top tier. possibly mid tier but idk what all is played in around the gold plat area cause I don't watch to many players in those elos. but in low elo I believe hes very viable right now, you know bronze and silver.

first off I wanna explain why urgot has been a troll pick in the past. 1: hes fucken ugly 2: his kit eventually became what was known as "unhealthy" when newer champs keeping coming out with different types of kits (similar to yoricks and old sions situation) 3: most people suggest you go mid and go full ad with late game items like muramanas (this results in squishy af, high sustained damaged, no mobility champion that's fairly team specific.) 4: the metas of types of champions pools that mostly were selected where not in his favor recently. (mage meta when its all about who has more utilty and more death fire grasp, tank meta when naut sej and shyvanna were at 80% win rates, bruiser meta... a lot of darius montages were made, adc meta [sorta] where everybody was about range and kiting and the Quinn who could cross the map in 8 seconds without tp)

now we are moving into an assassin meta. something heavily reliant on jumping in killing and getting out as fast as possible. because of this we see a lot of 2-3 man assassin teams 1-2 heavy armor tank and an adc of some sort.

why is this beneficial to urgot? why does this make him good? -his passive is really good against many adc's and fantastic angainst any burst reliant champs. -his kit during the laning phase is quite nice as far as sustain and poke goes. -hes great when someone thinks they are cool picking janna, one of the hardest supports to deal with. -everybody seems to have a malphite or rammus on their team and urgot has armor shred in his kit on top of the BC we are gonna build. -perma slows are always nice as long as you can keep you distance. -fun fact his e the canister thing that makes you q lockon to things doesn't require vision for you q to lockon and hit :D, meaning stealthed champs or even over unwarded walls with peeps flashing over em you can use your point and click q on them as a point and click even if you cant see them. just as long as the mouse is hovered in the general area of where they are at. so fuck shaco rengo and walls with no wards. just e them before they escape and predict their direction. -when ninjas sneaky warriors and clowns dive for an all in your ult completely shuts them down as most of them are melee and only have 1 engage/escape. -you ult also is great for securing kills during a jg gank -when in a bad position just run to an even worse postion and r the person chasing you then walk the other way cause 90% doing that will put you in a great position to w q and run from voli bear that thought he was gonna flip me. (note this is just when a super fed guy is chasing you cause when multiple peeps chase you, your just get some damage reduction and set you self up for cc)

the build I do is here. I was testing the waters with him and wanted to try bruiser utility instead of full ad: starting spellthiefs and faire charm>Black Cleaver and poop boots>Steraks Gage>Maw of Morratis or whatever it is>Bloodthirster>I do ninjatabi but you can do whatevah>if you make it get trinity force though im still messing with grabing a zz rot instead of trinity last item.

it is about an 18k gold build and im not gonna lie, I take cs that the adc is CLEARLY gonna miss (in between their autos if the fail to last hit a minion) and starting mid game I take 2 cs every wave and late game I get as much as I can out of jg and lane whenever im walking through. the core is just bc and steraks in order to start making shit happen consistently and I almost dont think it matters if you fall behind in the build too much. 2 games I had an awful score early game along the lines of 0 5 1. and got the 2-3 items to start benifiting in team fights and ended the game along the lines of 8 10 19. (those are the averages between the 2 games rounded down that I fell behind early)

I personally have been playing him support. his debuffs really help out adc's that play agressivly (vayne, Quinn, mf) or safely kite (ez, trist, luc). and the poke he has pushes them out of lane pretty well or even if we get out traded and we are low I can stay in the fight as a backliner and not miss out on xp by being force to back. also if you play him mid you cutting you mana in half by splitting in between poke and farm as well as zed will fuck you up early and having the adc by my side is extra insurance for kill secure cause it seems when I play him mid I always needed just a bit more damage when trying to kill someone. during teamfights it may not look like hes doing much but shutting down one of the assasins but the way I build him happens to be bruiser filled and he can tank out/sustain damage and apply constant debuffs to multiple people. he may not be 1 shotting from afar but the idea with it is for me to get in there and let my team followup as I slowly move towards our backline and let my team re-engage while I then poke and debuff from the back.

all in all im enjoying him a lot. and winning a lot with him too. idk if its just a coincidence but ive lost 2 of my lost 8 games and in 1 of em my internet kept shuting off and on and got reported for afk.
