Urgot VGU is coming up.

Range Juggernaut, these are the words used to describe the new Urgot, and the direction they took with him.

I like this concept but as a person who play's Juggernaut's a lot ( IE: Illaoi and Yorick.) something that i'd like to point out is that Juggernaut's are usually powerful lane bullies, but they aren't ranged, the reason why is because you need to be able to stay away from them. Illaoi's entire kit and voice acting literally tells you to stay away for example.

So some worries i have(Despite how freaking cool i think the new Urgod will be.) is that if he's ranged he can't have any CC at all, no slows, no short stun's, nothing, except maybe a very slow ultimate like what was Leaked where he apparently has a very slow hand that pulls you into a giant meat grinder positioned in his chest, also according to the reddit leaks he will have "Shot Gun Knees" this is likely his ranged ability, all juggernaut's have one, and finally that he can turn himself into a cannon, that's also pretty cool. It was also mentioned that he is EXTREMELY slow, only slightly faster than unmounted Kled, and that worries me a little to.

Note: Worries does NOT mean that i already don't like the rework, that's not true at all, i actually think that if these leaks are true, shot gun knees is confirmed for example, he's going to be soooooooo much fun to play but might not be fun to play against and that he might have a feast or famine play style if he's so slow or that his damage will be so absurdly high that it'll be impossible to 1v1 him in lane and punish him for overextending. Their worries, not critiques, so far i'm digging the idea though, what do you guys think?

Even if i rioter discredits the leaks, they did the same with the first leak, they also instantly removed both soooooo i'm going to say it's either true or their just trying to throw us off their trail.

I also applaud them, urgot is very unique and i honestly thought of playing him, until i realized he's very out dated and i probably wouldn't like him, but the rework i'm atleast going to try. I do have worries about his state after the rework with what we've been shown so far but i trust them to make something good.

Lol. Calling current Yorick a Juggernaut.

Also, I don't know why you're complaining about them turning him into a ranged Juggernaut. I mean, he IS essentially that. He's a Marksman/Tank hybrid, and that's something incredibly unique. So unique, in fact, that even Riot realizes it's something that should be preserved, unlike all of the champions they have removed in the past.
