Urgot's ult is what makes him unviable

Urgot is supposed to be someone used for adc or mid lane. However, his ultimate is completely contradictory to the role of an adc or mid laner. All mid laners and ADCs' ults are either focused on doing damage or gaining positional advantage. Sometimes both (I.E. Ahri and Trist). However, Urgot's ultimate actually screws him on both counts. He does less damage because he's stunned for the duration of his ult AND it reduces positional advantage because it usually throws him into the enemy team. It makes no sense to have that as the ultimate unless he is someone who WANTS to be in the middle of the fight.

Because of this problem, when he hits level 6 in lane, he basically has no advantage at all from it in the majority of situations. But no matter who he is against, they now have a huge fight advantage because now they do a lot more damage. Please change his ult to something more suitable for his role as someone who does damage.

Urgot's ultimate actually works pretty well for the one purpose which his entire kit excels at: Isolating and destroying an enemy. It's much stronger during the laning phase than teamfights on average, making him difficult to dive while also being able to pull the opposite laner into a convenient space for ambushes from your jungler.

There's far more than Urgot's ultimate that keeps him from being allowed to be strong in more than niche cases. While not as much as in the past since his range was neutered and mobility creeped, on a reasonably competent Urgot player his kit basically is full of poor choices for opponents. You mostly either out duel him with your stats or you don't bother with engaging him and spend all day dodging what skillshots he can afford to sustain.

It's not supposed to be used in teamfights, it's supposed to be used after them in a 1v1. You were both surpressed, his cooldowns are mostly back up, he has much higher resistances, and you're probably surrounded by his team now.

No Urgot main will ever say his ult hinders him. Not Chimalpopica, the Urgot top diamond main, not I, nor any other person with over 150 Urgot games will say this or agree with this sentiment. The only reason Urgot adc ever worked is because he had insane range and damage. Any marksman with those conditions could excel. Urgot mid doesn't work. There isn't enough distance to chase targets with your EQQQ, which leaves you near there tower, and one Lee Sin kick away from going near you opponents second tier tower.

The only lane one should worry about with Urgot, but this meta doesn't favour him in the slightest, hence you get Urgot performing horribly (more than usual).

Why the hell do people keep thinking urging is an adc? He's a ranged bruiser yo
