Patch 9.6 Urgot changes are brainless

Even though we gave constructive negative feedback to Riot about the new Urgot changes/buffs they will went though with it and refused to listen to us.

Urgot has now become a straight up simplified, basic champion where you dont really have to think or know anything about it to play him. I was a top 100 worldwide Urgot player before the nerfs and I did enjoy playing the right way, without abusing the Unsealed Spellbook keystone which is the main reason why Urgot was played in Pro Play. Urgot was overall in a healthy spot without that one issue.

This new changes however, will completely overpower him and instead of making him a rather passive toplaner, it will turn him into a complete bully.

His W is now a 0 cooldown and 0 mana ability at max rank, this right here is pretty ridiculously stupid by Riot Balance Team....Im shocked the fact something like this passed in their meetings but once again, its not the first time. How does a 0 cooldown and 0 mana ability brings any type of counterplay or skill expression to a champion???

They overloaded his E with a shield that for some reason has a 1.5 ad ratio instead of just a bonus health ratio, and they increased its damage at all ranks if you take in consideration the now 1.0 ad ratio when it was 0.5 previously.

They increased his R damage and its range, which means it will be a lot easier for Urgot to pull off kills with it, once again without doing much to earn it.

Urgot is a Juggernaut btw. He should have medium damage and still build a rather bruiser/tanky itemization. Yet this changes push for a heavy damage itemization which overall will be a unhealthy and frustrating gameplay, which isnt even fun.

I dont understand the urge of Riot to just buff every champion damage as a way to fix things. This needs to stop, because they are honestly killing all the fun and breeding this chaotic mess that we call of a Season.

I just played a game with urgot and the infinite W is b s he just mindlessly pushed top and ended the game in 15 minutes while 1v5ing our entire team. COME ON RIOT you call that balance?

Oh, so pressing W whenever it was up was a super engaging thing to do? Having a brainless massive shield up 24/7?

He will most likely buy Blade now and his W is a pure damage ability instead of this huge OP permanent shield. Now he actually has to THINK about using his E at the right moment. The skill expression comes from not running around with his W active at all times, because that's bad.

Can riot just fire their balance team already, like how dumb are these people. you would think that riot would realize by now that people like it more when a champ is nerfed to the ground compared to a champ being aids that nobody likes playing against but oh no here comes urgot, kayle, sylas and we have more dumb ideas to make you hate this game even more. No wonder so many people are done playing this game it's cause riot does not care about people they don't even read the boards that much. If riot did care then they would of fixed the game by now.

One thing I wanted to say, is his E didn't get it's ratios buffed. It isn't 0.5 AD to 1.0 AD, it was 0.5 Total AD and now it's only bonus AD. It's to stop tank Urgots who went Gargoyles and Righteous from still doing damage with it. Now it'll basically do no damage if you only go BC.

Agreed, even unfed, he can W the turret mindlessly without consequence if he kills his laner, shredding the tower to nothing from 5 plates to 1 as soon as his W hits 5.

Seriously Riot, what are you smoking? do you test this stuff first ?

I liked him pre-nerf, stopped playing him post nerf, now am playing him again. Of the three though, I prefer the original. The new one is just weird.

His win rate in Plat+ is only 51%

Well within meta norms (maybe even a little weak)

His new W is so unbalanced now.
