Can we please discuss the abysmal lack of Urgot skins?

Hello riot,

I'm an Urgot main (yes, someone has to do it!) and I am very disappointed in your complete creative disinterest in Urgot's visual identity. Many older champs than urgot still recieve skins reasonably often, like Nunu, Ashe, Sivir, Ryze, Yi, Warwick, Etc. All receiving skins on a semi-regular basis.

Urgot hasn't received a skin since February, 2012.. .that's over 4 years!

Come on Riot, show us belittled and weathered Urgot's a little love. And hey, why not make it a Legendary while you are at it ;)

I play on Oceanic as Urgot2bekidnme

Nothing to discuss here really since they've already made it clear why he doesn't get any: He needs a VGU first. Riot doesn't want to do skins for him now until his VGU because they'd have to redo them all once he gets the VGU.

If we are lucky he'll get his VGU next year(he is pretty high on the list),if he is unlucky then it'll be likely in 2018

It's also worth mentioning that he and Galio contested pretty hard on the spot, for being ChampUP's Team B's next project, but they decided to work on Galio first because they don't want to release 3 VGUs for dark champions in a row. Urgot will likely be Team A's next project.

Yeah they said that urgot is currently the third most requested rework(after Galio and Evelynn) and I remember that they originally planned to make urgot even before yorick,before plans changed(I think the fear on his ultimate was for example the result of some early experimentation on his kit). So I guess that he'll be the next project of one of the 2 rework teams
