An Urgot Theory (lore and visuals)

Eternal791··8 votes·29,302 views

I've had the idea before seeing the concept art Reav3 post on his recent Champion Roadmap blog, but after seeing it, I'm really thinking Urgot is going to have some type of incurable disease.

If you take a good look at the guy in the take in the background (likely Urgot) you can see that his arm is pretty misshapen. And if you look at what I think is his head, that also appears to be a little deformed (though maybe less so than his arm). So I think the disease Urgot has, will be something like a cross between Elephant Disease and Bubonic Plague; where his flesh is heavily deformed by both massive and numerous tumors, and decay. Additionally, he could have a bunch of scars showing where the more life threatening tumors have been removed. I think this would add quite a bit to Urgot being this horrifying monstrosity, combined with chemical filled tubes running in and out of his body.

WARNING: If you want to look up Elephant Disease and Bubonic Plague on google images, just know that theses diseases can be quite horrifying and disgusting to look at.

I think it would be weird for Urgot to be the guy in the background, since this is supposed to be a part of his new splash if I'm not wrong (not just a stand-alone teaser piece), so having the mechanical body be on the front and Urgot himself blurred out in the back wouldn't be a very good representation or first impression of what Urgot really is/look like.

As far as I know, it didn't get mentioned anywhere that this is going to be part of his splashart. They are always creating some thematical art with champions, maybe that picture will be part of his backstory.

And it makes sense that he is in a tank in the background. We see a guy working on a leg for his hextech modifications. The machinery which is supposed to keep him alive is probably not functional yet. So they put him in the tank for the time they are working on it and at the same time preparing his body for the operation.

Question, how many Shotgun Knees does Urgot have?

RiotReav38 votes

Enough

Does he have a dark and secret past?

Eternal7914 votes

Honestly, I hope not. I'd rather he just has a dark past that we get to know all about. Not everyone's origins need to be a mystery.

WarWork2 votes

OMG immediate upvote. League has too many mysteries as is, we dont need like 5 more for every release.

Eternal7912 votes

I mean, I like some champions having mysteries, but not all. With Jinx for example, while I do want to know more about her origins and motive for messing with Vi, the mystery is part of what makes her an interesting character. Urgot, on the other hand, really doesn't need to be mysterious: in fact, I think it would take away from his character if he is.

WarWork2 votes

I agree with you completely. I agree that sometimes mysteries are fun, but lately it feels like there might be too many. Like for example Warwick's past, he was released with so many hints tieing him to Vi and maybe even Jinx and those won be answered anytime soon or even at all.

Eternal7912 votes

Yeah. Though for Warwick, I think there's actually more hints tying him to Jinx than to Vi. If this little girl is really all he remembers, than his taunts toward Jinx pretty much confirm that Jinx is that girl... which I think actually gives a lot of insight into Jinx's past; as if you think about it, it is highly likely that Singed eventually captured Jinx and probably experimented on her, thus explaining her insanity and some parts of her appearance.

i hope we find out soon

Well I have theory that Singed will get his updated lore with Urgot's rework, so maybe his color story will have some info on that; although it may be related to Urgot.

That's not enough. We might need some more.

Eternal7911 votes

Based on the leaked model, probably 6.

Eternal7911 votes

Well there goes that theory.

It's his classic skin splash or Battlecast Urgot splash?

Variks the Loyal1 votes

Wait. Lower right? It looks like it should be lower left (If that leg is his front right leg).

You sneaky sneaks.

RiotReav34 votes

Wait. Yes. Lower left. My Left, Urgot's Right....

RiotRiot MEMEMEMEME2 votes

Left*

That's right?

N Komaeda1 votes

Lower right? What kind of anatomy does Urgot have then? Because this seems like it's lower left or has a shotgun towards Urgot... which wouldn't make any sense

mr Boombastic7871 votes

Kinda like Trundle's old lore

ModKnightsKemplar1 votes

Yeah, based on Reav3's feedback, I don't actually think we see Urgot's body in frame here. He's off to the right, just looks like he has some extra help making sure those shotguns are working properly.

Chembaron Yamada4 votes

Urgot "Are my shotgun knees able to blow an entire demacian corps to pieces?" Viktor "Erm, no....?" Urgot "I think we still got some crafting to do."

Eternal7911 votes

Yeah, but now I want to know who the guy in the back is XD

ModKnightsKemplar1 votes

Isn't it obvious? That's helmetbro.

Eternal7912 votes

Ah, I see it now. Thank you for your insight, kind sir.
