Buff Urgot

Urgod... now officialy the least popular champ in League.

I used to play him as my go to top. I rarely played top, Id just fill when no one else wanted to, or when I had the occasional urge to go all URGOD! on people.

The 5.22 patch made my Topgot (Urgot top) play-style untenable. It was pretty much the removal of mana potions. Im not asking for mana potions back, Im fine with the removal more or less. I needed them early game to have enough mana to harass and bully my opponet. I needed to keep mana high incase they made an all in. Often I would take first blood with a counter to their 3rd level assualt.

Iv considered replacing Ashe as my go to ADC with Urgot, but I know that just wont work. His kit isnt that bad, but its just not compatible with the kind of enemy compositions he would face. Using his ult in a teamfight is basicly suicide as it will put you in the middle of the enemy team, while also probably killing whoever you ulted... its a trade. His ult got a touch-up with the damage resist, but no one cares, hes still only (ur)got a 0.6% pick rate.

Even with that low pick rate, the dedicated few who play him.... have a 45% winrate.

I like Urgot, I have over 40K champion mastery points on him, pretty much 70% of that as Topgot. Saddly Iv moved on to Sion as my main top, I was considering Mundo, but didnt want to be an OP champ dick-rider.

Im not nessicarily advocating for a rework for Urgot, I like his kit, but lets face it... all the people who claim their champ has been: dumpstered, ignored, forgotten, etc. probably dont play Urgot, hell 0.6% pick rate, no one does. Well I do... did. He gets a few touch ups now and then, the maximum mana scaleing on his shield, the damage reduction on his ult, but its not enough, hes just outclassed by most marksmen, and dosnt have enough sustain to roll with top laners now.

He needs a mana regen buff, like real bad. Possibly more mana to start with, getting less per level evening out at 18.

Keep in mind I play him with the mana regen mysteries, rush a item 3070 into a item 3004 and still cant bully people, but instead get bullied.

Some may argue that I shouldnt play him top lane, but that was the lane I found him playable. Otherwise Id be in that 45% win rate for his bot lane AD carry position. Top is where I could shutdown several opponets, and contribute more to the team.

Now, Im abandoning it. Losing just isnt fun, and I know if I take Urgot into a match as top lane, Il probably lose it for my team.
