Kind of sad there's no star guardian urgot...

Unnamed Feeder··48 votes·2,633 views

I mean I get their reasoning of theme... But considering the sheer number of people that want the skin and urgot's vgu, I think it will sell really well, satisfying both the community's request and riot's financial requirements... I think this is worth overriding "theme" for... Probs gonna be downvoted but just wanted to point that out

But considering the sheer number of people that want the skin and urgot's vgu

Here's the thing: People DON'T want Star Guardian Urgot. It's just a dumb meme that needs to die.

It will be the exact same situation as Dota 2 with Wisp's Arcana: People didn't actually WANT Wisp to get an Arcana, but voted for it because "HEHE MEMES EGGSDEE PLEASEENDMYLIFEIMAPATHETICTWAT". Wisp gets the Arcana, those same "memers" (That hurts to say...) cry that Wisp ACTUALLY GOT IT.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SG URGOT HAPPENS.

So I implore you: Let SG Urgot die. It should remain dead and buried alongside Ao Shin.

It sounds almost like what happened to UK and US in the 2016 elections of whatever.

It sounds almost like what happened to UK and US in the 2016 elections of whatever.

To sum up the US situation very VERY briefly: Donald didn't actually get popular vote (by a rather significant margin...), but he got electoral college votes, which overrides public vote. To say he's "controversial" is to put it vastly lightly...

UK situation in a very crude oversimplification: It was like a 51.9% Leave vs. 48.1% Stay, and most of the Leave voters were ill-informed. It wasn't necessarily "memes" that got them to vote "Leave", but just poor public information. It still remains extremely controversial to this day.

Both of those are really interesting to read into, but let's not derail too hard. They weren't really the same or similar as SG Urgot, which is purely memetic and a joke that gets taken way too seriously.

While I agree with you to some extent, I do think a lot of people do actually want him...I think there is a custom sg urgot skin made as well before his rework.

Urgot deserves a new skin, yeah, but he so doesn't fit the SG universe. The only feasible way to fit him in would be if he were part of a rival lineup that was the supervillains. Even then, they'd have to style him up a good deal.

Like Darkstar Urgot pulling people into his blackhole stomach.

Or.... We make a similar skin.

Star Acid Urgod! Passive shoots confetti. Q shoots a smiley face. W shoots a random shape at the target. E is accompanied by cat sounds. R1 is is a tear drop. R2 chains are made up of mini-teemos. The inside of his stomach is all rainbows.

XD

Ezreal doesn't really fit the Star Guardian Universe either, but he got a skin nonetheless.

Wisp IS Io. I imagine it's not called "Wisp" anymore because Blizzard still has copyright on Dota 1 names.

Maybe Riot should compromise and make Definitely Not Star Guardian Urgot.

Kieferr3 votes

It was just a silly meme, did u actually think riot would consider making SG urgot? Lol don't be delusional. Nobody will buy it. Be real.

Unnamed Feeder1 votes

Would Riot make SG Urgot? Probably not (but not absolutely impossible) Would nobody buy it? debatable. We do not know unless it actually happens.

EVERYONE will buy it tell me a person that wont

Star Guardian Urgot would sell more copies than Star Guardian Ahri will. Mark my words.

Hehe hope we get the chance to figure out someday

If anything have another April Fools skin line event and put a Star Guardian Urgot in that.

DeadUnborn2 votes

Urgot has just been reworked. How do you think Riot could have made a skin for him if they didn't even know what he would look like? Keep in mind the champion update and skin teams are different people

Imperial Japan2 votes

I wouldn't say it's worth overriding a theme for a meme - Although there is a special time in the year in which they do meme out them themes :)

Considering Jinx/Lux gets to taunt about "It's a Star Guardian thing"- I'm fairly sure Riot has hinted that it's not happening.

Not to mention the only reason people want it is because it's going against the norm.

Also even though it's been said I'll just repeat it, there are not a lot of people who want a Star Guardian Urgot skin. There's not a lot of people who want any Urgot skin. He was unpopular before and I don't think he's going to be all that popular now. It's a meme- just like how Taric and Ezreal are a thing and how Lux digs Garen and all the rest of the silly nonsense that isn't 'real'.

Might as well get Reverse Sejuani- it's a meme too and plenty of people like it.

What? No? Sounds stupid? Yeah- I agree.

Maybe he wont get a star guardian skin, but a Tuxedo mask skin? TUXEDO MASK URGOT!

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

Here's the real question: How many people actually want the skin, and how just echo the request?

The joke behind the old Star Guardian Urgod is that he was vomit-inducingly ugly. It was one of his most memorable characteristics. The Skin proposal added to that by putting him in a bikini and mini-skit.

Honestly, I don't see the skin selling very well. Even post-rework Urgod isn't that popular. And a skin that spawned from a joke is asking for disappointment.

think your underestimating how troll this community is.

STOP GIVING SKINS TO AHRI/MF/EZREAL!!!!! Why are these champs getting so many skins!? We have champs who have been waiting 3 + years for a skin and AHRI gets another? WTF!

I was really hoping Riot actually would surprise us but I guess not.

I was hoping that that giant monster or something along the lines of it would be revealed as an Urgot skin, where he is the main villain against the Star Guardians.

GGLineaR1 votes

Nah dude, masked man Twisted Fate.

MoiMori1 votes

maybe he'll get his own separate reveal. Also they just changed him so they might have been more focused on that versus giving him a new skin quite so soon. I like the idea of it being released as a Halloween skin for him. I picture the promo shows the star guardians on a tv screen playing in the background of a halloween party then the camera pans over to Urgot wearing his version of a star guardian costume.

Brascus1 votes

Does riot take star guardian seriously? Is that the only reason Urgot doesn't have this skin yet?

OceanicEyes1 votes

Personally I'd rather they made another skin for Urgot instead of a meme skin. Saw a cool suggestion in this thread for Darkstar (InstaPoppy), which I'd be interested in buying instead of not buying Star Guardian, then having to wait over a year for another skin.

its not a joke skin line. stop making dumb requests tbh

I blame Ahri one of her new VO's literally says "For the last time, The sparkles are for Star Guardians!" What a bitch!

Sukishoo1 votes

If anything it would be an April Fools skin.

Riot even jokes about it in his Champion Spotlight, cause they know it wouldn't happen as a serious skin.

To this day we shall still fight for SG Urgot
