Discussion: Should Urgot be Remade into a Jungler?
Urgot is an interesting champion. His theme is relatively malleable and could be reworked into a whole slew of different things. My question; Is Urgot destined to be a designated jungler? Before anyone says "I already play Urgot jungle!" My point is not so much "can he", but more, should his rework make him more focused on that role specifically?
In his spotlight, it was made pretty clear that they originally had no intention for him to be a bot lane ADC (especially since that role didn't even exist at that point). Instead, it says that he "relies on his high early damage to bully his lane opponent, before transitioning into a late game tank or assassin" What role right now best fits the need for high early damage, but late scaling utility? The jungle! Urgot's rework could keep so much of what he has now, and with only minor changes could make him a very viable, very fun jungler. If they make his shield scale off of HP, reduced his damage a little, but then gave him % bonus damage to monsters, he could already be a long way towards being viable.
Urgot should be a Tank when he is reworked, not an ADC
Urgot is weak right now because in lane, when he is strong, he is incredibly un-fun to play against. He can harass from very long range while being quite tanky and hard to counter. Thus, he is nerfed until they can fix him. If they made his Acid hunters deal only 10/35/60/85/110 (+70% AD) down from 10/40/70/100/130 (+85% AD), but deal 50% bonus damage to monsters (15/47.5/90/127.5/165 (+105% AD)), it would further decrease his toxic bully potential in lane, but give him a strong clearing tool. They also should reduce his basic attack range to 300 flat, from 425, so that he wouldn't keep trying to think he is an ADC. His shield should scale like this: 80/130/180/230/280 (+40% AP) (+10% Bonus HP) instead of like this: 80/130/180/230/280 (+80% AP). Other than that, his kit is already quite well suited to jungling, since his shield allows him to slow (good for ganks), he can reduce monster damage while jungling because of his passive, and he could finally be a real initiator with his ult (which would also allow for potent ganks).
What are your thoughts? Should Urgot be redesigned Primarily as a jungler?
