With Urgod's Rework a Few Days Away, I'd like to Discuss...

...about how I'm so fucking glad that he's getting reworked and his current kit is finally being put to rest.

I'll be honest, I actually tried playing a number of games with him as a good cast off farewell celebration for his rework but after two games with him I just found him unbearable to play as (and I have no idea how his mains have stuck with him this far, I give them my respect). I mean, in theory and at first glance, he looks like a fun champ but when I get down to playing him he just feels horrible to play as.

He chews through mana like no tomorrow in the early levels, especially if you're wanting to go the E->W->Q repeat combo at your opponent. And without as one of your first items, you're going to suffer a lot unless you get it first off.

After that his whole kit just isn't that super interesting to me, nor does it make sense or feel coherent. For the most part you are ranged and your Q and E support somewhat of an artillery type champ, but then you have a defensive shield that also causes slows with your Q, which makes a defensive spell more offensive and kind of a waste since you may be hitting your enemies from long range thanks to your E lock-on, and his Ult absolutely makes no sense on him.

He isn't at all the most tanky character in the game and like I said you feel kind of an artillery champ, so why is it that you have an ult that switches places with an enemy and possibly gets you into an entire enemy team? You don't have a lot of AoE outside of E and that can only do so much and your shield can only absorb so much with its base + the mana bonus stats.

Overall he hasn't felt satisfying to play for me and many other people, outside of his mains. But with the introduction of his new self, coming Wednesday, I actually feel like I could and want to play him. His whole kit just feels so much more appealing and in sync with itself than his current one. The shotgun knees, the Q, the purge, the new execution, and even the E, which now that I think about it feels a bit like the current ult, just feel so much better towards a close range blasting ADC juggernaut(?) type champ.
