Seriously today i got bored and played Urgot and i feel like with the current Juggernaut items and with AD and health items i can't figure out why Urgot isn't picked more often. I don't think hes weak and with just how much ARPEN he can get it baffles me as to why he literally is just not picked every game.

If someone could enlighten me it would be appreciated.

Patch 6.4 Urgot getting buff he might me stronger and more playable.

But that doesn't explain why he isn't chosen now.

I mean sure it will help but i feel like right now with the way items are he could be devastating.

Look at my other post.

There are not many good builds you do in urgot, I think for a buff is giving urgot AP Ratios on W E and Q.

Its far better that he stays the way he is with his ratios.

Also IDK about you but alot of the bruiser items and the pen items are absolutely perfect on him with the only true core item probably being muramana.

How about big crits!! CritCrab!!!! Confirmed new skin :O His builds are like blue ezreal, he deserve unique somethin, Actually thinking about items, why can't he have updated lore?

See shit like that would be crazy on him and then throw in some tanky items or more Arpen and watch him just urgod down the mid lane.

This is what confuses me because he could easily be over the top with tanky items putting out more dps at such a huge range.

His not too powerful, many people want op champions would you think someone would play champ with 0 damage in ranked? Mu answer: OFC ME FOR TROLL MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA. Just Kiddening! Or not .... hehe

Urgot is a champion that demands pre planning from the team to work with him, you don't get that pre plat

The only real part of his kit that requires some team work would be his ultimate but the sound effect and the animation are enough for his team to at least be able to single that target out.

I think people just THINK hes trash. He could be really scary IMO.

no he legit requires team cooperation both because of his playstyle and build

1-he is not a carry, he provides damage and utility, this does not make him a carry

What does adc stand for?

Attack/Damage/Carry

Urgot does not do this

Urgot is LTA

Lock/Tank/Attack

He locks down a target, he tanks some damage, and then he attacks

This is why when Urgot finnally was meta again he had much more success in the Mid lane then in the bot lane, the mid lane is seen as a role where you provide decent damage while also bringing a toolkit that helps out the entire team. We have times where this is not always true, but the majority of the time the mid lane is a role that brings damage with abit of utility.

Once again this is why Urgot was a amazing mid laner, but not so much a great adc, simply because he is not a adc.

However if you want to play Urgot botlane, this is not to say it is impossible, however if you were to play urgot bot lane, simply because you do not bring high amounts of damage, you would need to ask either the jungler or the top laner to play a solid carry play style champion.

For example I will list you a famous team comp involving four champions

Rengar, lu lu, Sivir, Oriana

Sivir just like Urgot is not a "true adc", you bring rengar into the comp with the support of sivir ultimate and lu lu protection with oriana ball plays with the expectations that Rengar will become your true adc and cause havoc in the front line.

You will see the same with Urgot comps.

TLDR-if you wanna play urgot adc either the top laner or the jungler needs to know how to play a legit ad carry champions to wombo combo with you.

Woah there buddy calm down.

No one said anything about ADC or him being an ADC.

Also hes more of a fighter than anything else and the reason he was taken mid was because he was super oppressive in the worst kind of way and could completely zone out other mids for fear of his E-Q combo.

He's not picked because he's only average. Why play an average champion when you can play an overtuned/overpowered one and have much more impact with less effort?

His lack of mobility is also a big problem. In League of Mobility Legends.

Seriously though, if his slow on his W, was somehow some type of dash or powerful MS steroid he'd probably be all the shit.
