Why NO ONE Plays: Urgot | League of Legends

Despite having a very well received visual gameplay update, Urgot's presence in top lane has, albeit not as badly as before, struggled to see any period of dominance ever since. For today's episode of Why NO ONE Plays, we're gonna be discussing Urgot: The Dreadnought.

As an Urgot main, the fact that Urgot cannot engage by himself is what balances him. If he was to have more speed or range on his E, or if he was to be counted as a melee champion, he would be able to 1v5 every game and win pretty much every single matchup. Just imagine melee stats of Eclipse, Titanic Hydra, or even Duskblade on him. Urgot mains will know what I mean by this.

If Urgor has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Urgor has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Urgor has only one fan then that is me. If Urgor has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Urgor, then I am against the world. I believe in Urgor supremacy.

Urgot is a brutally strong pocket pick that you choose when you decide it is effective. Its a champion makes you win the game at champion selection screen

I play Urgot a lot and I think there are two additional weaknesses that you've missed here, firstly no sustain in his kit. Pretty much all other juggernauts have some form of sustain, also he has a massive hitbox which means basically anyone with a ranged skillshot can poke him out of lane.

Urgot's Ultimate is the most satisfying ability in the game, plus it's an execute that has a learning curve which I wish was the case for all executes.

I love urgot! One thing I didn’t hear you mention (I may have missed it) is that his itemization is bad. He has no good mythic items and he’s technically a ranged champion. Which means items like deaths dance are bad because he gets the ranged effects not melee

[sandersonstreamingnetwork]

Urgot is by far my favorite champ. I played him religiously when strikebreaker had the leap with the active. I felt invincible with it on him

[nicolasschell]

I also used to play urgot a lot and still do sometimes. I think he struggles because there is no real mythic for him, if you don't want to build assassin and the CDR in many juggernaut items is not very useful for him. His Q is also a super underwhelming ability, it's expensive in manacost and doesn't accomplish much

[Izzy-rhbr]

If Urgot got a reset on his E (dash) after a kill or even after his Ultimate goes off would be a ton of help.

Urgots one of those champions I started the game with and dropped in favor of who would become my mains. Wish I had played more of him before, because now he just feels so much more different than who I normally play to get comfortable with him.

[afriendofjamis]

For that short period where he was viable in the jungle, he was so much fun.

One of the things I love seeing playing as Urgot is how enemies SEVERELY underestimate those shotgun knees. The number of panic flashes I've seen when they do an aggressive engage only to realize how fast their HP is tanking when you do that orbit-walk magic. Out of all the lanes I've tried him on, botlane is is the most fun, interesting and frustrating at the same time. Paired with the right support though, and if you play your lane well, botlane is basically free food.

[BrontiThor]

There's also the fact that you can hard counter him by rushing wardens or bramble. Wardens makes his damage useless, and bramble turns his w against him.

I would love to see them make his E unstoppable. also give him 5 more base movement speed but that could break him. being just too slow is such a massive issue with him if you are winning it's hard to punish when they can just run away every time they walk up too far.

[sirreginaldfishingtonxvii]

Honestly though, the few times I've seen an Urgot, it never goes poorly for him.
Dunno why, but it hasn't happened once.

My current theory is that there's actually only one guy who plays him, and he's naturally really experienced.

[hubertmiszuk]

Damn, all this "he wants you to approach first" fits well with his lore and quotes, for example:
"Power. Fear. These are my weapons."
Fear - as enemies fear to approach him, and power as he is a dreadnought.

That is good design.

[ervinmontemayorsoe]

I played Urgot last year and his abilities really amazed me. I love playing Urgot. His ultimate is unique and exciting to use it's a brutal death to an enemy champion. Imagine, you've been hit by a pierce and pulling you back to him and gone in the map.

[rrg.r]

Iceborn Gauntlet was really good on him before its rework. I hate having to constantly proc it manually.

As an Urgot main i can say that i love the video! Keep it up!

[galvanize]

When I started out over two years ago, Urgot was the "If he gets one kill, you're fucked" champ. When I didn't know what all the champs did, he was TERRIFYING.
