Conspiracy Theory: Urgot Leak on the PBE
As everyone who checks the boards and Reddit knows, there's been a bit of a divide since yesterday's Galio reveal. Players who could care less about current Galio think it's great, while current Galio players and mains are lamenting the destruction of their beloved champ. Riot's obviously seen all the controversy surrounding yesterday's reveal, and then, all-of-a-sudden, Urgot's possible rework model "accidentally" leaks onto the PBE. I have been an avid checker of Surrender at 20 for about the past three years, and I can't recall an instance of something leaking like this in the past, unless you count DJ Sona's files, but that's just that: files. Nothing but file names, nothing like this.
Galio's rework is, in my opinion at least, the most controversial visual and gameplay rework I've seen in my time playing, barring maybe Fiora. Could it be that Riot leaked this on purpose to gauge how people would feel about the Urgot remodel? Perhaps they're seeing how disappointed Galio players are after their champ's rework reveal, and they're trying to avoid it from happening again with Urgot.
Personally, I really like it. I think it's pretty badass. I've been a fan of Urgot since I started playing the game and was excited for him to finally receive some attention, but ever since yesterday, a pit of dread had come over me that Riot was going to pull a Galio on Urgot, and this has given me a sense of relief. I understand this is far from being finished, but if they stick with a model like this, retaining what made Urgot the disgusting, rotting behemoth he is, I will be happy.
Thoughts? Do you think Riot may have done this on purpose?
seems like the type of guy that would walk up to you and squeeze the brain pulp out of your head, then drink it.
