Urgot Survey

Hey Concepts & Creations! I'm The Djinn, and I've put together a brief survey about that character we all love to hate, and hate to love: Urgot.

Why, you ask? Two reasons. Firstly, I'd love to get some data that we could share with Riot on what people do and don't like about Urgot, and what they do and don't want to see him become.

Secondly...well, I've interviewed at Riot twice now (most recently for a design position), and for my eventually re-application I'd love to really blow them away with a full rework presentation, complete with analysis and community feedback. I'd love your help with this, as I can't gather community feedback from just myself. Whether you love Urgot, hate Urgot, or simply wish Urgot was more viable, I could really use your help.

Here's the link.

Thanks in advance, guys!

Urgot is a pretty solid champion. Your presuming people want an Urgot rework and I'm not quite sure that's the case. Because you don't see him very often, I think the people who know him well are going to be the people that actually play him rather than play against him. And for those people, he's actually quite strong. Urgot is probly the most powerful 1v1 champion in the game. He's got solid strengths and weaknesses.

Good survey, hope it helps. I really like Urgot, but I feel he is just a little short of being usable. I find he can potentially deal a lot of damage, but it is almost always just short of the kill. He also suffers from a bit of an identity crisis considering he's built around super ranged Qs but he has tiny range autos and a low range, entirely CC based ultimate. Hopefully riot are working on something that will keep his fast, artillery burst but give him the tools to actually finish his targets off.

Urgot <3 I just listened to his lore, and he seems to want to be in the center of battle while also dishing out serious damage, and his lore says hes definately a bruiser juggernaut. His playstyle isn't that... definitive right now though. I reaaaally don't know how he could use his kives though unless thats for a melee attack.... I feel like his knife has to be attached to a chain or something. Anyways, Here's 4 abilities I thought up and stuff.

P: brush off wounds: His bonus AD gives him bonus health and bonus health regen. Also, when units are close enough, he slashes with his knife hand, and this infects them with a reduced damage debuff to the enemy champ. Q: triple cannon barrage: Use your cannon 3 times and can target in a narrow cone (or maybe just an area around Urgot so its like his e, but triple... so basically either a mini Xerath ult or mini Jhin ult). You have .85 seconds to make 3 shots, which reduce the the target's armor by ~8% each (% armor shred scales with ability level) goes through all units. W: Spider pounce (needs a better name sorry): Urgot leaps a short ways, frightening foes in a small area where he lands E: Siphoning chain: the knife shoots out attached to a chain, impaling foes. If Urgot hits more than 2 champions that are impaled by the chain, they are slowed heavily when moving away from each other. Moving tortures the champions, dealing bonus damage when they move when the chain is impaling them. After 1.7 seconds the chain is yanked back so the knife rests back in his arm, dealing more bonus damage. Applies passive debuff. R: ... umm... Urgot's energy ramps up, speeding up his health regen and makes his abilities deal bonus magic damage with respect to his bonus ad.

This kit helps him position well at will but also play with his food. Only large definitive strikes can really put Urgot down in the midst of battle with his amount of health regen. This also keeps most of the good parts of Urgot intact, but making him feel more involved in battle. Hes also pushed to go into and initiate battles with his w, and that can make him a great dueler, using w, his passive to reduce his opponents damage with knife hits. his q can also help start or finish a fight. I feel like this kit makes him a gruesome, battle loving maniac that loves toying and swiftly killing opponents.

idk, thats the best I can do atm xD just some random ideas that could be fun.

GAH just wrote an effing awesome message and it was deleted... whatever.

You helped inspire me to think about some cool different abilities on how he could work. I made a couple of Urgot rework abilities and you should check it out! I feel like you really helped me see what Urgot was really about and questioning why the abilities were like how they are now (also got me to look at the lore and interpret his abilites based on that)... I really like Urgot how he is now.... but it doesn't seem to make too much sense looking at the lore...I probably needed to look up Zaun a bit more, but I think what I produced are a cool batch of abilities :D they're mostly just suggestions, but I think they could work together. I'm really proud of the passive and w I made :P
