Urgot's title is contradictory.

"Dreadnought" literally means "fear nothing." As in, "dread not." The term seems to have originally referred to a class of battleships, which is probably why Riot went with it (and it has the word "dread" in it, which is super spooky.) I'm just saying, this is a guy who literally grinds his enemies and fears everyone around him and his name means "fear nothing". Does he fear nothing? Probably I guess, but dauntlessness doesn't seem to factor into his story at all. Am I being really picky here? Yeah totally, I just thought it was a neat thing to mention. What do you guys think?

I actually had to look the definition of dreadnought the other day. Historically, a dreadnought is a warship that's basically covered head-to-toe in guns and cannons pretty much. So, kinda interesting, both are machines, I guess, covered in guns n' stuff. THE MORE YA KNOW. Also, google searches are op.

Yes his title means that he fears nothing. What others fear is inconsequential. In fact something that fears nothing kind of implies that it is itself something to be feared by others. His name is very fitting,

Urgot : fears nothing,

everyone else: not so much.

Although, as a side note, it would be interesting and fitting to his title to make him resistant to fear effects, either immune (temporarily during an ability) or simply reduced duration.

I'm actually unsure if I like his new title. I mean sure its cool, but it doesn't have the same ring to it as Headsman's Pride. But yeah, you're totally right on the meaning of Dreadnaught in this case.

I feel like a fear immunity could be cool on his W or even during the reactivation of his ult.. Though really if you add it on anywhere he'll likely be OP (we don't know yet if he is anyway so...).
