FELLOW HERETICS ASSEMBLE FOR THE URGOD

So, Urgot was the second champion I bought (I believe it's been awhile either 2nd or 3rd). I think that makes me a heretic. I liked him right away. In a game full of Adonis's, happy looking gofers, manly men, and womanly woman. Here was this half rotten desecrated corpse. You could literally see that his skin was stretched out and ripping over the machines keeping him alive. Tubes and ripples burst forth and pustules littered his body. He was disgusting.

I was and in a way still am excited for the rework. Urgot's gameplay needed to be tuned to be less schizophrenic, and while his design was awesome it definitely showed his age. But some of the hints we kept getting about him kind of warned me beforehand. References to how awesome he was going to be. I even made a post that said "no, awesome is not the way to go. 90% of the champions are awesome in some way. Urgot is disgusting." A few comments that if there aren't people posting that the new Urgot splash doesn't make people say they feel like they're going to vomit, that they didn't go far enough.

Now that proved pretty true. His gameplay looks great. His animations look amazing. That ult? Damn that's brutal. 100% approved.

But they lost the disgusting. His design isn't a rotting corpse propped up in a painful shell of life. It's some badass Bane looking wannabe with spider legs. The rotten flesh, the glowing scars, the disturbing proportions are gone. Hell even his splash he's getting a tattoo sitting like some 80s comic anti-hero. You can just taste the machiasmo.

And I know it's my own fault. I'm the one that got so hyped for this. It was the one rework I was actually excited for. And I just can't help but feel a little disappointed. I'm still going to play him. I'm certain the gameplay will be fun as hell. But I was hoping they would keep what was core to the character for me. Just this once.
