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

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'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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
