No more realgot talk (Urgot talk), just gunna give up

LoL Ergo Urgot··5 votes·531 views

I just got man handled by a Yasou up in top lane, that first kill he got on me due to him being able to dash around the minions with his superior mobility and right before I can finish him, his shield pops up and I go oom. Then some enemy ganks and crazy snowballing.

So after a year of playing Urgot, I am just gunna play the meta and quit with Urgot. Urgot uses too much mana and lacks any real mobility.

Plus, playing Urgot is an up hill battle in all directions. Your team hates you for no other reason than picking Urgot. So you got that. People won't gank for you, because you picked Urgot (and you are seen as useless), the enemy jungler will gank for your enemy toplaner (because you picked Urgot).

If anything goes wrong, it's more than likely your fault, because you picked Urgot. If you do anything right, it will go unnoticed, and you will probably never make any friends cause you are a weirdo Urgot main.

Being an Urgot main is too depressing. And I lack the thick skin for it I guess. I just feel inwardly defeated and crushed.

So anyway, I apologize riot for any rude remarks I have made towards you. I will chill with that. You win. I am literally unlocking Zed after I type this with IP I saved.

Chimalpopica, keep being that bright shining light in this sea of darkness, you silly anomaly you. item 3070

P.S Yes, there were the moments of success,but the net gain is just a sad and miserable experience.

cathartic diatribe complete

P.S.S Just played a game with Zed, don't find him fun. I guess if all the champions I like are considered trash tier, I might as well quit this game and wait for the day they become viable. oh well.

Imo Zed isn't very fun to play unless you like that kind of style. The only time it really feels good to play Zed is if you can outplay with your shadows and get the kill WHILE still living. I say it is great you are an urgot main, it is just unfortunate that he isn't very good. He is VERY hard to lane against if things are even, but once he makes a mistake, its over for him. Also his build path is kind of weird, so to me it is hard for him to itemize both damage AND tankiness, as I feel he always lacks one of them in all situations.

Yeah, I really like champions that lack mobility but feel like a battleship that is sitting off the coast bombarding (so to speak). Urgot firing all his abilities of from a distance, Viktor (I main Urgot/Viktor) firing his lasers off from afar. But the difference is, when I play Viktor, no one cares. whether I do bad or well with him, I am just another teammate.

But if I select Urgot, there are always people who wither are excited to see him, or the complete opposite (I have people even dodge games when I select him).

Maybe I just need to develop a thicker skin with him. I am always nervous about my performance with Urgot.

And yeah, his itemization is weird. If you want to get max damage off, you need 40% cdr. So you have to find items that give you your cdr, armor pen, while trying to get damage and tankiness, just like any other fighter.

Then there is always the concern in the back of my mind, that riot simply doesn't care about this champ. I know they gave him quality of life changes, and I know they gave him a TU and gave him some spiffy new particle animations for some of his abilities. I am thankful for all of these. Idk anymore. Thank you for your comment btw.

If you like the "I bombard from afar" feel, try out Xerath or Ziggs.

It sucks that any Urgot rework probably won't be until near the end of the year. I think he has some fun concepts behind him, but he just feels clunky.

Yeah, I like kog maw too for that reason, and I will give xerath some tries. I haven't played him in awhile.

Ya, if you like the farm and carry style, kog is the BEST. His problem is that he can get dumped on pretty easily by the current meta junglers(Vi/Rek'Sai/J4), though, so I'm more reluctant to play him personally. Maybe try Ahri? I didn't like her before, but her Q changes made her pretty broken IMO so they I actually like her. She feels more pokey and they can't retaliate early game, also with the added affect you of you being highly mobile(w/ Q and R) and having 100-0 power lategame.

If it helps, he's getting minor buffs soon according to Meddler. Probably not enough to make him a non-troll pick but if they're enough it might become less miserable to play him.

Do you have a link to that? If not it is ok.

I believe this should work:

If not just check the Red Tracker and look for the thread "urgot rework" :)

I used to pick those weird champions as well. Sejuani carried me in S2 and I have the reports to prove it. Then I picked lots of jungle Quinn and some jungle Morgana. Gave up on that after 4 consecutive warnings and getting trolled or griefed many times. And in S5 the jungle has been "upgraded" and non-meta picks are no longer viable because it's a super serious sport now. So I tried Karthus jungle and got a warning or two for that as well.

So these days my idea of "non meta" is Aatrox jungle because at least I don't get reported for it. Poppy jungle is fun but not viable due to Riot not giving a shit about Poppy. Tried Nautilus support, first time I picked it I was bombarded with insults in champ select and someone dodged, didn't try again.

Luckily in Dota 2 you can pick whatever wherever and all that counts is if you can make it work.

Yeah, I wish riot would do something to dispel the negative myths about certain champions. I mean, riot created some of them in the first place with the nerfs they gave to certain champs like Urgot and Evelynn .

Though to riot's credit, they have had some segments trying to show the possibilities of off meta picks, such as the Brand Supp thing they had months ago. I wish they would show more stuff like that.

I recently took a look at Chimalpopica's (currently a D4 Urgot main) guide and he has changed some things like in the runes and mastery page (Having 15% cdr by lvl 18). By doing this it opens up some build paths for Urgot, namely, items that don't have cdr. I will try it. Maybe I was having such a tough time because I was living in a season 4 world. Idk yet, have to experiment with it.

Actually had some success with Chimalpopica's updated guide. I might just have to say away from ranked for a bit with Urgot.
