How do you really feel about urgot

i still don't understand why everyone deems him as a junk champ, don't get me wrong he's definitely not the greatest but he's far better than what people think. I consider him to be my best counter to kallista and any high movement based champs. He has loads of damage and utility, plus his E Q QQQQQQQ combo is way to fun and can secure kills from a decent range like its nothing. I'm just getting tired of the reaction that follows when I pick him; urgot adc????, omg not urgot, gg we lose, or the immediate dodge from an elitist player who goes with the crowds

I think he's relatively weak, but definitely not useless. His kit is kind of disjointed, he doesn't really fit into any role that exists within the game properly. And his model is kind of terrible.

I also think he's exceedingly frustrating to play against.

I have been destroyed on the rare occasion by devastating Urgots. He's definitely not useless, people just don't play him well.

He was nerfed pretty hard quite awhile ago, his numbers don't give him enough power to make up for his lackluster kit anymore. As a result, he has the fourth-lowest winrate percentage of any champion. (Only beating kalista, eve, and elise) That's pretty much why people don't like him. If you like him, stick with him and eventually riot will rework him and he won't be anything like he is now. GG either way.

He's neat, but his ult doesn't fit. He has the same problem as old Sion; his kit tries to be two different things (also his shield scales with AP for some reason, which is bad since his main damage ability is all AD).

Urgot is one of those special champions like quin, and yorick. given a kit that synergizes well with ad carry items and bruiser items like iceborn gauntlet, maw of malmortus. Muramana is his go to item. Imagine a ad carry that can't be killed in a single burst of skills at the same time doing a large amount of Attack damage. He's the type of champion you throw in when you don't want an AD carry falling down quickly due to some champion thats good at avoiding the rest of the team to kill the ad carry.

This doesn't matter anymore though sense Riot is more interested in punishing it's customers instead of balancing. They themselves have hinted that they nerf older champions into the ground to motivate player's to move on to getting a new champion to play. You'll notice that every new champion release has had a increase in power over older champions. Getting new champions early lets player's abuse that fact in ranked play to win more games before riot gets around to nerfing them.

Shen is Riot's prime example of doing this which is hinted in there recent talks about the new 2015 season. They kept nerfing his stats until people stopped playing him a lot causing his early game being turned into an early failure due to not having a single skill that can keep up with the amount of damage, sustain, mitigation, range, speed other champions have from the start of the game. Proved by the number of patches nerfing Shen's early game stats on LoL wiki. Tank Items were heavily nerfed or removed when they started nerfing Shen too.

he's actually decent in ARAM and i believe he functions better mid than bot. i play him as an ad caster because that's really what he feels like. i haven't played him mid on the Rift against people since season 3 though. i find the ult is rarely necessary and only really used to secure kills or send a squishy into your team after getting item 3042 item 3071 it's hard to decide what to buy next because item 3078 just doesn't feel right on him anymore

He´s actually a really good counter to assassins in midlane...and he can be a terrifying snowballer top aswell - he´s just a bad Marksmen.

Feel like he's ad cass

His kit being mismatched kinda fits this Frankenstein monster of a champ, Having a low win rate means nothing though, that's only based off the people that play him which isn't very many. I dread the day they rework him. Thanks for the input guys!
