Everyone forgot about Urgot

So it's Urgot free week again. The sad thing is no one is really playing him.

A while ago there was talk of reworking him but I feel that idea got stuffed in patch 5.5 when Riot gave made his W scale with mana and lowered his ult CD. The harsh truth is Urgot is simply unplayable in this current meta. At 425, his range is one of the lowest of ranged champions, making him a nonviable ADC pick. He is immobile and puts out meaningful damage only when landing an E-Q combo set. Building tank on him makes him nothing more than a walking meatshield. His one CC ability, his ult, no longer fits in the meta.

Now please take my opinionated statements with a grain of salt. Faker does indeed play a good Urgot. But that's Faker, the worlds best LoL player out of millions. Everyone else, low and high elo alike, stay away from playing this champ, barring very few exceptions (2nd lowest play rate in the game as of right now).

From this post, I was hoping someone could answer a few questions. is Urgot ever going to be reworked? And if so, when? If not, will he be buffed at least?

I wish he got some love during the marksman update. He could have been the "tank" marksman.

They should just sion urgot and rework his entire kit and visuals. It's a bit sketchy to buff the ratios of e/q without really making him extremely unhealthy/overpowered

Riot has declared the intention to rework Urgot several times in the past. He's probably the next full overhaul after Yorick gets his due.

Urgot is amazing on Dominion, which is to say, his mana costs are way too high to be functional on Rift. Literally the only thing Urgot would need to make him amazing is lowering his Q mana cost.

But Riot doesn't want him to be amazing, so they won't.

Poor Urgot.
