It'd save many games of grief trying to first pick urgot, get shat on when they can't play urgot, continue to play the 4v6 insisting that they can turn their 0/5/1 score around and then extend what would have been a 20 minute surrender into a 34 minute display of showing why bad people should not imitate what they see.
Of course you can sub urgot for any other champion that got an appearance that hardly anyone knows how to play and the message still rings true.

Peel Your ADC2 votesSomething small like that is fine
Lord ZP4 votesI don't know what's wrong with trying a champion you've never played before.
So here's some psychology for you folks. People are sheep. Whenever the cool guy in high school gets awesome new shoes, or a kick-ass headset, his friends, and in turn, their friends, and so on, tend to also buy similar, if not the same shoes, or headphones.
The pro players in the LCS, LCK and so on, are the cool people in highschool, and we are the people who think they are cool.
Now how does this fit with your post? People see LCS/LCK players having succes on a champion, in this case Urgot. People think "wow this champ is so strong, i should play it!1!!!11" so naturally they spend their hard earned IP on this Urgot and queue up. they'll fail, because urgot requires some mechanical knowledge. but it's not bad if they fail, because they first have to learn how to play and what they can and can't do.
now for the players on his team, it's not fun to have a 0/5 urgot on their team. but how else do you expect people to improve? there's options like team builder, and coop vs AI games, but even then it takes some time.
so in the end it comes down to a few things.
now I do see where you're coming from, but it's wrong to say people shouldn't play a champ they have zero experience on, just because it might result in a loss. Unless it's ranked.
Rinky Dinky3 votesHowever, it is right to say people should not copy without using their brains.
The "It was picked in lcs, thus freelo" mindset hurts this game.
Zavern2 votesWhen it is in a ranked game, people that think they can carry a team with a champ that was played in LCS ruin the experience.
NoMonku3 votesI know, why do I always get those on my team :(. I do like it when they are on the other team though :).
warpenguin5551 votesI know, why do I always get those on my team :(. I do like it when they are on the other team though :).
lucky, i just get gamethrowers. Because you know, trying to chase that bot lane into a bait where the enemy kat gets a double after you pinged mia 10 times is more important then taking towers. they make sure to flame and ask why you didnt help them too :D
Rinky Dinky3 votesYeah, and another wonderful thing is when you yourself actually play that champion, and you get flamed for copying lcs when you pick them.
I've been playing urgot top and mid ever sence his buffs, and I even played around with it before then. Now, I dont get flamed because urgot is bad, I get flamed because "Im an lcs copycat"
I have to deal with that shit when I pick graves, and now Urgot too? /ff
Godhri2 votesSigh... the fact that a disclaimer is even needed is very disconcerting. I mean really people... smh.
ZacsRealm2 votesI played a fair amount of Urgot adc before the lcs. le sigh now its just all "OMFG JOO COPEE EL SEE ESS"

Thryale1 votesI went 0/10 as ap tryn and still managed to win.
The game isn't about your kda, it's about objectives and map pressure. Kills are just a means to an end, that same end can also be achieved by good cs.
I died a lot, but I forced the enemy to play around me, letting my team dictate where and when they chose to fight.
Enkidusmurf1 votesI think the implied disclaimer, in any league game where you see something a little crazy, is "Normals before Ranked."
I don't care what people do in normals. If we lose, we learned something, and hopefully had a laugh in the meantime. But I would not dare to take Urgot Mid in ranked unless I had a little more experience with it than seeing Keane play it once.
Jeddy0171 votesPeople need to learn no matter how strong a champ may LOOK in the LCS,that doesn't mean you will be god like on your 1st go at said champ.
You still got to get a number of games under your belt with said champ so you understand the champ better.You still got to practice.Plus,just because the pros played it doesn't mean you have to.
IcyPepper1 votesEh, I'd take an Urgot over having a Zed every game.
People have to start somewhere to get good at a champion... hopefully not ranked, but this is the price of diversity :((((
Peel Your ADC1 votesI feel for all the people who played Urgot before since now their job is infinitely harder =/
Daedalus8711 votesI played Urgot mid into Zed 2 days before the LCS did it.
They are such sheep.
FirstSergeantBim1 votesOP, please. I'd rather people try and learn how to play Urgot than Zed, Nidalee, Talon, LeBlanc... etc. Nobody wants to play him because of assholes like you, so quit being an ass.
Peel Your ADC1 votesWho is the asshole, the person getting upset when you try something for the first time in a ranked game or the person getting upset when you cost that game to be lost?
FirstSergeantBim1 votesI have no clue to be honest with you. From what I can tell you're the asshole for shit communication. Please, go back to 4th grade and learn to speak.
Peel Your ADC2 votesI see that picking an option is hard for you.
Stick to them shooters.
warpenguin5551 votesWhat they should do is before every ranked game in bronze have a message that says
"if you plan on playing a champion for the 1st time this is not the place, go to normals for that"
