So why is Urgot getting nerfed?
There are about 15 other champs in this game that need nerfs before one of the least played champions in the game, don't you think?

We're targeting a soft buff with the Urgot changes overall. Adding an AOE fear to his ult's a decent amount of power though, so we're currently trying to figure out how much power we will or won't need to cut elsewhere to make that addition. For context that AOE fear is targeted in particular at allowing Urgot to ult without it being as suicidal as it often is in later game teamfights (bonus secondary benefit: strong thematic resonance).
These changes will help urgot greatly in mid/lategame teamfights. Time his ult correctly and it will be super strong (combo with malph/ori) Adding power to his ult and cutting some of his binary e q combo is a good way to go ! (Everything of urgots power is in his q) And after all he got a 2 ad base buff ;)
Yes, deleting the one map that he dominates is going to be a HUGE nerf for crabman's numbers.
