@Riot When you rework Urgot consider that his kit, theme and playerbase deserve two champions.

Urgot has serious schizophrenia in his kit and his theme that cannot be resoled in a single champion. Lets start with his theme. Its okay. The combination of rotting flesh and technology used for horrible purposes hits two deep rooted fears. Rotting flesh revolts us and we fear the power of technology used for dark purposes.

But as Urgot's skins demonstarate these are powerful themes even if separated. Battlecast shows the power of sinister technology while Crabgot shows the power of the monstrous and grotesque. The few times I see Urgot the players tend to have on skin or the other. I'm sure Riot has better data than my anecdotal evidence though. Both themes are powerful and deserve to be fully explored.

Then there is his kit. Half of him wants to be a tanky initiator that steals your carry wiafu then spreads terror in your team while laughing at your pathetic "damage". Half of him wants to be a MLRS locking onto a target from a distance and pounding them with missiles. Both are awesome themes and both deserve to be showcased in a champion.

Therefore I propose that Riot go FULL HOG when they reword Urgot. Make two champions. Make one grotesque initiator with the monstrous theme (give him the crabgot skin) and one technology gone wrong missile battery that devastates the land. Yeah its double the work but if any champion and playerbase deserve Riot's full attention after all these years its Urgot.

(Preemptive technological terror strike: Hey Old Karma mains I know you think you and only you deserve Riot's attention but consider the following. Riot tried to appease you but making her new ultimate spammable which contributes directly to her low impact playstyle. Despite that new Karma is a pretty cool champion. No matter how much you wail old Karma was a !@#$ing mess that swung between super high impact and completely useless based on circumstanced beyond her control.)

TL:DR Urgot should be two champions and "old Karma" lobbyists are pretentious knobs.

As a potential "Old Karma main" and "Old Karma Lobbyist":

Hey, those insults were super random. Like super random. I've read basically every Karma related post in the last year. Not even ONCE have I found any Karma main claiming they are the only ones to deserve attention. It's rather, that they TOO deserve Riot's attention (which is different and quite fair, tbh).

Rather the opposite: I see Karma mains (or Karma posters) more often come with the throat clearing, that they do understand, that other champions (like Eve, Urgot, WW) need Riot's attention more, and they usually also come to the defense of other rework-missfits, such as Mordekaiser and Shen.

Your description of Old Karma is also off. "old Karma was a !@#$ing mess that swung between super high impact...". Super high impact? Did you play her even once? They reworked her ultimate for the very reason of her NOT having any high impact moments.

And lastly: If you don't think that rotten flesh and robot implants can be on the same champions, or that there can not be an ADC-esque bruiser, you lack game understanding and imagination.

I must conclude that, you, sir, are a buffoon and a ruffian. Good day!
