**!DISCLAIMER! This is MY opinion on how I view Butcher urgot and it does not represent what it has to be its only a suggestion!!. **

Well, now that Urgod came out in PBE, and Surr@20 and SkinSpotlights has published how urgot skins look, I can say that Im happy.. almost, every skin looks cool but the butcher skin just doesnt make me want to buy it (apart from it being a legacy), what I mean is that, yes, it looks cool, but its no different from base skin apart from: Looks, VO (sounds like with mask), Q looks. Like Riot could make him more "butchery" with i dunno..more blood i guess? like make his W more bloody like let it be green (for the sakes of skins price) but add some blood stains to match his theme as a butcher. I wont complain about Q because you cant change it that much besides the missile and its okay here. Enemy crabgot is the same price as Butcher urgot 520RP it is non legacy and has changed colors for P, W and "watery crab" sounds, and is better than Butcher in almost any way apart from the theme (I like butcher one, more brutal), so I think Butcher urgot should recieve some tweaks to make it more brutal and "butchery" to deliver his theme to the fullest potential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcRaDry0cOE

Well in the end,Butcher Urgot actually fits the skin price quite well. I mean 750-skins usually only come with a new model and in rare cases with a few different skill animations(usually when the old effects would clash too hard with the skin theme). Though I think Butcher urgot should have a slightly changed skill effect for at least one skill,as it did have different rockets before the rework.

But you shouldn't compare it with new Crabgot that skin has roughly the quality of a 975-skin now. Sure it lacks a new recall,but it does have new ability effects for all abilities(except for the chains of the second R,which is kinda weird) and a changed voice.

You see the issue is that Crabgot and Butcher are the same price 520RP but they remade Crabgot to be like a 975RP with "watery" sounds, blue ability colors, "crab-like" VO, while leaving Butcher at best 750RP that has just different VO to sound with mask and different missile textures, even though its legacy. What Im saying that they just tweak and not change it completely change it, They could add some blood traces to W shield, maybe some blood splash and blood sound when executing with R. They could even go as far as (though they wont I think) to add scary sounds to both you and the person with R when they are being pulled towards you.

Well but both are 520-skins,those are nowadays expected to be not much more than 750-skins,which would include a new model and nothing else. And I just realized that Butcher Urgot does even have its own Q and R,which actually means that the skin is slightly above average for a 750 skin,despite the fact that it is a 520 legacy skin

Crabgot getting this detailed(honestly,if it had a recall it could be considered a 1350-skin) is merely a favor for us fans,its not the norm,we should be happy that we get some extra detail for him,not complain that other skins don't get the same.

And while I think some small tweaks to butcher Urgot are still possible,I wouldn't expect anything more than recolors. VO processing isn't that easily done(it is usually only done for 1350-skins) and Urgot sounds like he has some sort of mask on his face anyway. Creating some new sounds is obviously also a lot of work and they said that they didn't make Urgots ult spit blood because that would have raised the age rating(since Urgots ult is already pretty gruesome the way it is)
