So what region is Urgot going to be associated with on the Universe page?

Being of Noxian background while being an outcast who resides in Zaun, is he going to primarily be considered a Noxian or a Zaunite champ?

Most likely Zaun. As far as we know, Urgot was born in Noxus and a headsman there, but got betrayed by Swain and sold to Zaun as a slave. He now resides in Zaun, preaching his ideal of surviving and killing chembarons.

Vi was born in Zaun, but she is still considered a Piltover champion, because her actual life is all about being a cop in Piltover. Urgot is the same, while he has a background in Noxus, all his actual business is in Zaun.

About you saying he doesn't seem really aligned with Zaun because he wants to wipe the chembarons and leave the city in chaos.... that is just his way to shape the city to his ideal. Ekko is on the other side of the spectrum, his ideal is a Zaun which is safe and a better place for poor people. He tries to form Zaun to his ideals, just like Urgot tries. It's just that Urgots ideals are.... kinda messed up in the opinion of most people.

And his whole design just screams Zaun. Even more after his visual update. I think the VGU kinda had the goal to soften his ties to Noxus and make him more of a Zaunite. Because his design never really was one of a Noxian champion.

Piltover/Zaun is very Gotham-y. Very very Gotham-y. We have the Batman+Robin pair (we have cool metal-hand Robin), we have Joker, now we've got Bane. Bane is from Gotham although his intentions and motives is not the best. The same goes for Urgot. I feel like he's more Nolan's Bane but without all that love Bullshit. He is pure ideology.

Ha, I was just thinking this exact same thing as I clicked to see your comment.

I'm guessing Zaunite, not only does his design resemble the Zaunite theme more but he was betrayed by Noxus, so he probably wouldn't side with them.

True but you also have Riven who left Noxus and resides in Ionia, while still being considered a Noxian champ.

However she isn't aligned with Ionia, the fact that she is a Noxian exile and not just an exile is the main reason, Noxus is still a key factor in her current character. So, more than likely Urgot would be a Zaun affiliated champ but with Noxian background, similar to Kayn being an Ionian champ with Noxian background or Taric being a Mount Targon champ with Demacian background.

True. Though it's certainly debatable whether Urgot is really aligned with Zaun, seeing that he aims to wipe out the chem barons and leave the city to chaos; however it also seems like he may have plenty of Zaunite loonies that like what he is preaching and thus are allied with him. But yeah, he'll probably be associated more with Zaun.

By the way, I love how Riot seems to have taken the idea of almost religious Urgod mains and made Urgot the preachy type.
