Had a good game as Urgot top

And match ended in a loss, and my friend, who was waiting for my match to end to play a match with me, mentions these:

Friend: Dude you were using Urgot just now? Me: Yea, we lost anyway. Friend: Dont use Urgot man, he srsly sucks now Me: Dude, I was 3/1 Me: Until mid & bot was feeding like hell Me: then got me become 3/6 Friend: yea, just dont go urgot

Wtf is up with that. Giving the enemy team AoE reduced Armor plus insane poke, is that not pokey/peeling enough? I admit I can't kill them in my best form as somehow, they can just strike me down in a flash (ahem...enemy Yasuo) while all my team does is stay behind me as if I'm a Jarvan.
