As an avid Urgot fan and main, I've always been attached to the aesthetic and gameplay patterns of this techmaturgical menace, but what really pulls him together is the kick-ass SFX and voiceover. As I currently understand it, he's getting a gameplay overhaul / heavy rework with a visual update, but I'm worried that his voice might remain untouched. I'm curious, is there plans to update his speech and VFX to be more in line with some of the newer champions? I believe Urgot has some rich lore to draw from to have unique / different quotes and interactions with other champs, and it would be sweet to hear this cyborg baddie talk about some of his lore related tie ins IE Garen / Demacia, Professor Pididly and techmaturgy, undeath and so on.

i do hope they don't completely change his kit, i do enjoy a good portion of his skills.

I really do think Urgot's lore should be expanded upon and given some depth, but I hardly think there's a need for major kit changes. A lot of newer champs have analysis on other champs, so I think they should too.

Urgot is supposed to get a relaunch similar to Poppy or Sion

So he will get a completely new model,new abilities,new VO and a new Lore.

I think in terms of Lore it would be cool if he was a major factor in the ionian invasion,I mean he represents both Zaun and Noxus,the biggest enemies of Ionia in that invasion.
