Ive never played him but I have never been in a game were anyone played Urgot. Hes pretty good but I think you should give him some work and get him back in league, every champion should be used.

Agreed, Urgot is such a fun concept, and then I bought him and played him a few times. If just **one **of the following were fixed on him, I think he'd be viable:

  • Huge mana problems.
  • Easy to dodge skillshot that is required for a missile-lock.
  • Mediocre Q damage once missile-lock is achieved.
  • Shield that absorbs merely a single auto attack.
  • High risk / low reward on Ult.
  • No escapes.

Urgot already has plenty of utility on his abilities that could counter these problems; but the base values and scaling are too low. AP scaling is miserable on the shield and gives you no other benefits? Resistances that he gets when he uses his Ult are just a flat increase with no scaling from other stats, and not nearly enough to risk ulting during a team fight. And I'm not talking about initiating. The moment your ult puts you even close to the front line in a team fight, you're toast. But hey, at least one of your teammates will get a kill out of the deal. Totally worths, rite?

He doesn't need a redo, if anything his range needs to be buffed, his mana costs lowered, well, maybe his ult needs a redo...

I somewhat main him/play him a lot and I don't really think he needs a redo except for his ulti because it's not that good but you really need to play him to get an opinion on him

I just picked him back up and love him he eats moosst in top lane. Dont get me wrong he does need a buff though.

I think about how to make Urgot more viable often. I see him conceptually as a Fighter / Marksman.

Since he is half machine I think one fix for him would be shifting his Mana resource to Energy or Steam like Rumble.

This could be used to cap his spamming Q which could also leave room to buff the damage if he can only use it 3-4 times quickly.

To be a Marksman though he needs to wave clear minions. It may be OP but if his Q passed through minions in a straight line he could wave clear much easier and be able to harass enemy adc.

Buffing his Q would make his Lock-On a bit problematic, but since it is such a signature Urgot ability: maybe his Passive could be the ability to "Lock On" Acid Hunters to champions with 15% or less health so it functions as a "finishing" tool for champions running away.

With his "Lock-On" as a passive it frees up his Acid splash to be a better disengage.

Shield just needs to be buffed or CD reduced based on abilities / auto attacks.

That leaves his Ult. I can't think of anything that wouldn't be too OP, like a Trundle Ult that strips armor and gives it to Urgot while enemy is slowed, allowing for bullying without throwing Urgot into the middle of the team fight.

Thoughts?

Urgot is getting a full rework eventually. The Reds have already asked the playerbase what they'd like to see in a redefined Urgot, and the result was similar to a League version of a Main Battle Tank. He'll most likely be worked on during Season 5.

Urgot im trying to main him because he is so clevely playable but he is so weak right now his scaling keeps him from getting traction like draven or cait, or any other adc. and same goes for all his other lane useage. he is always beaten in lane unless your against an afk'er, feeder, or moron.
