Urgot needs a skin.

We as a community just have no love for Urgot anymore. Nobody talks about him, nobody seems to play him, and we certainly haven't seen a skin made for him in a while.

I think a fun way to get some popularity back into him would be to make a "Definitely Not" skin for him. I could see it as the trench coat, a poorly fitting, buttons about to pop off from the extreme shirt stretching, and completing it with the classic "Groucho Glasses". It would also be funny to see green paint on his chest that says "Not Urgot" to really drive home the "you got the wrong guy" feel of the skin.

What are your thoughts?

Definitely needs a skin. Riot were just too scared to make SG Urgot :(

And the "He's being reworked" excuse is getting old. Champs like Urgot have been "getting reworked" for years now. Until the day I see a set-in-stone schedule for his rework; he's just as viable a champion to receive a skin as any other imo.

Even when he's not on there, or others aren't, doesn't actually make them viable candidates to receive a skin. Eve barely got a 750 two years ago, and she's in just as bad shape as he is. Needing new rigs, models, animations, ect...Riot doesn't want to spend a lot of time making skins for a champion when they are just going to tear them apart and have to update them.

Urgot is pretty set-in-stone though as Riot told us the list and he's right under Eve at the top of them. So we will see them sometime late 2017 at the earliest. Once Warwick and/or Galio have been finished then they will announce who has been slotted for the next spots and we'll see them after.

what is SG Urgot?

NVM. I was reading titles in the discussion board, and Star Guardian Urgot was mentioned. If they do that, the League community will lose all respect for Riot if they don't give Urgot the hair style from Sailor Moon (on Sailor Moon)

I personally envision an arcade boss skin for him.

My mind goes to Dr. Robotnik in one of his vehicles. Like in the original SEGA GENESIS / GAME GEAR versions Robotnik and his plane / car / whatever looked like one piece... could easily make Urgot reminiscent of that profile/silhouette without changing his own. Flesh half on top and a four wheeled machine on the bottom instead of legs, turn his knife thing into a drill, etc. Less literal similarities that still give that throwback feel by taking original elements without blatant copyright infringement.

Just my opinion though. I have tried drawing my ideas, but I'm a horrible artist. They all end up looking like crap, cuz Urgot makes for a horrible stick figure. XD

Eggman would be fun as fuck for him. I think the work around for his legs would be his flying saucer craft with his legs going up at a 45 degree angle, and then back down at a 45 degree angle. Think of taking the left or right half of "M"(each half would be one of his legs), and sticking them to the rotating outer part of his ship. You could still keep it the "Definitely Not" skin by making the glasses frames turn into sunglasses and having the mustache longer and orange.

Reading your comment made me think of Urgot having a Chef skin. He would have a kitchen knife hand, he would shoot spice clouds, which would attract his knife hand to the spice clouds, due to the tantalizing nature of his now-prey. They could also have his top half in a white chef attire with hat, and put rubber stoppers on the bottom of his robot legs as non-slip booties you'd get for working in a kitchen.
