I guess shotgun kneecaps Urgot is a thing now too.

Which is actually plausible. Check out the weird cannon barrels in the joints of his new legs. What if it is like a 360 buckshot nova?

Let's start some discussion on these concepts:

(at 6m 28s)

Now a Juggernaut, long Blitz pull to urgot's stomach with meatgrinder for ultimate, shotgun knees, rocket hand

I think this actually looks a lot like his kit already does.

He's a Juggernaut. I'm probably alone on this but I usually build him as a hybrid tank/dps bruiser so this seems like the natural class archetype change to me. The kit seems to remove his built-in slow spam and has more damage-oriented abilities. This would give him the Juggernaut style of not being CC focused so much as very punishing to lane opponents who make mistakes while playing against him. This could keep him annoying to play again like he already is, while making it a bit easier to tell what he is doing and what his kit is about unlike what he is right now that leads to some calling him toxic to play against.

The "rocket punch" is obviously a port of his current Q in order to maintain his core identity. I wonder though if it will now just be a skillshot, or if the shotgun applies something that makes them home in, or if the unrevealed ability does that. I think if the "shotgun knees" apply the homing fluid to guide the rocket punches this would fall in line with him being a juggernaut (as he would need to be close to an anime to apply it) while keeping that part of his identity he is most notorious for (his long-range missiles).

The ultimate makes a lot of sense if you think about the purpose of his current ultimate: displacement. This ultimate seems to be like Stitche's ult from HotS or Pudge's from DotA probably. There's not much to go on for how this would work (like the rest of the leak so far), but something that pulls an enemy out of position fills the same role as the ult he already has. In order to make it the same, but different they could make Urgot become stationary or "stunned" during the effect of "grinding" the enemy in his "stomach". His current ult does something similar where he has a moment of vulnerability before displacing the enemy. It'd be like a Malz Ult, but his allies can't hurt his victim if they are inside of him.
