My Theory on Why Urgot is Never Played

Mannny··4 votes·922 views

The dude is so damn ugly nobody wants to play him. In all honesty there is absolutely nothing that compels a new player to main Urgot. He is just disgusting. He isn't a bad champion by no means he's just not appealing whatsoever. The same can be said for Kog'Maw but he actually looks kind of adorable compared to that slimy gooey abomination that they call a champion. I suggest doing a visual rework instead of reworking the champion because as much as I hate to say it, he does fill a niche.

the real reason is his kit just isn't very good.

Oh but champions like Annie Soraka MissFortune have abstract kits with multiple techniques that you can learn with only the highest caliber of skill cap required to main such champions. Urgot provides a kit that not many other champions provide, if not, no champions in LoL provide such a kit other than him.

He's really not that bad of a champion. By no means a strong pick, but not bad. I think the only thing he needs is a slight range increase to his ult

Some people prefer the weird looking bastards. I would love Urgot myself if his kit didn't feel so damn awkward to play.

People just can't admit a champion sucks, can they?

If you play with sounds on though playing Urgot is like playing Darth Vader.

He is good against Zed tho.

Honestly though if I had Battlecast urgot I'd play him more lol.

His character model is ugly and his kit is extremely binary and quite boring.

urgot's kit is trash design and most of it should be done away with

its not because he's ugly that he doesnt get played, otherwise pudge wouldn't be so popular in dota for so long. it's because he's boring

level 6 urgot player, I only play him because its funny as fuck to win with it. Also for some reason if you play urgot well in ranked you seem to get a fair amount of friend requests lol.

In any other game I wouldn't view that as a reason at all, but in League where 90% of the playerbase consists of weebs, it may be true.
