What direction do you want to see Urgot's lore go?

Eternal791··5 votes·814 views

Title

I'd like to see him stay as a high ranking Noxian who was sent to spy on Piltover. This would lead to Camille finding and chopping him to pieces, and Singed eventually finding and augmenting him. From there, Urgot (still thought dead by Camille) works to become a Chem Baron (possibly with help from other Chem Barons) who still works for Noxus by keeping a close watch on Piltover from under its nose. He would likely be the one all war masons go to with information as well as some one people are brought to for interrogation and execution; with him eventually dismembering their body and dissolving it in a vat of chemicals.

Dealing with his condition, there's two different ideas I'd really like to see. The first is that he's still fully alive and just severely injured and/or has a disease that slowly eats away at his body; thus forcing chemtech augmentation to stay alive. The other is that he is still undead, except he wasn't brought back via necromancy like Sion. Instead, he's been brought back entirely by science (Singed's science to be exact) in more of a Frankenstein's Monster fashion, except he's not a mindless zombie.

Kills Ionian en masse. All the Ionians that massacre billions of Noxians 24/7 get tiring, so it'd be fun to return the favour to weebville.

I think they should stop changing lore. Not every champ has to be tied together.

The opener suggests that Urgot gets chopped in half by Camille and then rescued by Singed.

In the old lore Urgot was working alongside Sion during the war times,was then ordered by Swain to kill JarvanIV before he was killed by Garen and then he was later revived by Stanwick piddly with the technology that he had stolen from Viktor

So if anything Urgot would have less connections to other champions with a retcon....

See his old lore is better. All im saying is that there is no point in them changing lore. once they have a story why change it?

Eternal7911 votes

Cause they've been reworking the lore to make it better, and with the Demacia lore update, Urgot's old lore is outdated and needs updating. Plus they could make his lore so much better than it is now.

GreenLore2 votes

And you complained about linking champions together,when the opener suggested to connect Urgot to less champions than before. So your complain was completely nonsensical.

Also Urgots current lore can't really function anymore,since Jarvans lore makes it clear that Jarvan wasn't rescued by Garen.

I favour that he may be a traitor: a spy who deserted Noxus to carve out his own empire in Zaun, in which case it would be in his interest to stop the impending invasion.

He shouldn't be undead, in my opinion. That would make his backstory too similar to Warwick. Rather he is a box of organs and a head, piloting his weaponised life-support rig, harvesting organic tissue from his victims for nutrition.

Also, Frankenstein's monster is not undead, nor mindless. The original character is mortal, and very intelligent.

It would be interesting seeing the other chem barons hate/fear Urgot who wishes to annihilate them for being Noxus sympathizers. As for who'd be his rival if he's a traitor to Noxus, I could see Darius being the one who chopped him up, or Warwick since he's a chem baron trying to take over Zaun. Also I like the idea of him essentially assimilating his victims to survive.

I'd actually prefer it if he was alive and not undead.

I mean Sion kinda fills the whole "undead abomination"-niche already,so it would look a bit repetetive if he was one as well. And him clinging to life even in this condition would honestly feel more fitting anyway.

Not sure about the rest of his lore,a lot of people have suggested that should become mainly a zaunite,which I can understand because current Urgot looks much more zaunite than noxian. If he remains a noxian,I'd actually like him to be a part of the ionia invasion. I mean he is a noxian who has been augmented with chemtech-machines.That fits perfectly into the ionia invasion,where noxus used chemtech weapons.

Honestly I don't see Urgot being undead stomping on Sion's ground too much simply because Urgot's an undead cyborg. We have cyborgs and we have undead, but Urgot's the only one that's both. However, I also would not be opposed to him being alive and trying to hang to life.

I've thought about him being a part of the Ionian invasion and it sounds like something that could work quite well. There's plenty of people there that could have chopped him in half. I personally think it would be cool to have Riven as his rival.

Remember that noxian spy woman that Cait caught in the Piltover event? She could be working for him

Eternal7911 votes

Yep. She was a war mason, one of Noxus' many spies that they send into various nations.

Urgot's old lore is perfect for a Noxian. I won't change it with the rework.

I like the idea of a story that implies Urgot did something BAD before his death - whether betraying Noxus, or seeing something he shouldn't've. He is killed by Noxian assassins and dismembered.

Noxus decides afterwards, however, that he was pretty exceptional. So they resolve to bring Urgot back... only without memories as pertaining to the circumstances of his death.

They put him back together and revive him with SCIENCE. And Urgot, furious at Garen for 'killing' him, vows revenge for his tormented state of undeath.

Swain and Noxus couldn't be happier.

Eternal7911 votes

That actually sounds interesting, having Urgot as a sort of a slave.

Based on the new Garen and J4 lore Urgot's new lore looks like it won't change much, imo. Of course there is still a lot more that could be added to give it a twist. It is more likely the Viktor is the one that augments Urgot and not Singed. Singed's specialty is looking to be bio-chemtech whereas Viktor specializes in techmaturgy (building robots), based on what lore we know atm, Singed created new Warwick and Viktor built Blitzcrank, also Viktor had a cult of all the people he saved with his augmentations.

Eternal7911 votes

Actually Garen and J4's new lore seems to say the opposite. And honestly Viktor is far less likely to augment Urgot because Urgot is a death machine and Viktor isn't an evil guy who would be willing to make a death machine. And SInged has been shown (twice) to be capable of making chemtech augmentations with Warwick and in Evelyn's story it mentions that the chem baron's body guards were augmented by Singed. Plus Singed is also known to have helped Noxus in the past so that also points to him being the one to augment Urgot.

Wrathof3001 votes

Both Garen and J4's new lores reference the executioner's post from Urgot's old lore. Although it is not confirmation it still tips the odds in favor that Urgot may have been killed by Garen there just like in his old lore.

You are right, it makes sense that Singed would be the one to recreate Urgot due to his affiliations with Noxus. But imo, it would have made more sense that Viktor did it seeing as Urgot is more machine than augmentation. Viktor doesn't have be evil to recreate Urgot, he is a man of science and willing tested his work on any that came to him. If someone brought him Urgot's body and some weapons, I have no doubt Viktor would have accepted the chance just much as Singed in this case.

Eternal7912 votes

I figured the reference to an executioner was just a throwback to his old lore.

I could see Urgot's body getting reconstructed by Viktor and then going to Singed for the weapons, however I'm confident Singed can do both.

Forget Singed and Viktor

Stanwick is the answer.

Eternal7912 votes

Being he's from Piltover now, I don't think he'll be the one. And Singed still makes the most sense to create a horrific, bio mechanical abomination.

Honestly the details of Urgot's lore are less important to me than the ending. He needs to, by the time we get him in the game, he a self-loathing freak, in eternal pain, who just wants to die.

Play up that aspect and the road isn't really as important to me. So long as it doesn't go too weird like turning him into a space alien from a galactic empire that possesses people. Or something, cuz that's dumb.

Eternal7911 votes

I mean, I'm entirely interested in his background, but yeah, as long as he ends up as a self loathing, tortured abomination, I'll be happy.

Warlord Dienekes2 votes

That's fair. I just think that the chance of them completely fucking up Urgot seems limited. He is a cyborg-tech monster. The broad points of his backstory are that he was once a somewhat villainous character, who died, and got resurrected against his will with a mech suit that he hates and finds torturous.

As long as they keep those points, I don't really care if he ends up being an executioner, or a chembaron, or a petty thief. There are some stories where the journey is important, and some where the end is. And for Urgot, I am far more emotionally tied to the end point: his twisted robot suicidal self, than I am for how he got there. Not that how he got there can't be interesting. I hope it will be.

But, as long as he ends as the disgruntled freak he is, I'm good.

Eternal7911 votes

Yeah, I'm pretty confident that whatever the backstory is, Urgot's gonna be the tortured monstrosity we want him to be. And yeah, I can definitely agree that part of his story is the most important and emotionally engaging part.

Namira Bot1 votes

Am I the only one who wants him to remain Noxian? Not a Chem Baron or anything. Just the High Executioner of Noxus. He could have ties to Zaun (the reason for him still being alive), but I'd rather he be fully Noxian.

Eternal7911 votes

No your not. My idea has him as a Noxian acting as a chem baron so he can spy on Piltover.
