Urgot used to have a very unorthodox playstyle as one of the first true spellcaster marksmen in League of Legends. But due to a mountain of gameplay flaws and his comedic appearance more people knew him as a fat crab boy instead of the monstrous terror that he is. His full visual gameplay update would change that, transforming him to a terrifying man turned machine. Let's find out more with Urgot's Rework: A Retrospective.

aight vars im annoyed are you saying galio was LIKED rework? galio mains QUIT over it i refuse to see him in games sometimes its not galio
You were wrong about poppy. Poppy maintained her whole old kit almost.her w passive and e are basically the same. Her q is still a heavy damage dealer but now turned aoe plus a slow in it. Her r in a sense does the same job as you can issolate enemies by removing the threat of their allies.
@@gkarak1996 old r poppy was his main things now isnt compare
Unrelated note: I REALLY think they can implement a star guardian Urgot, like he's not cutesy and anything, he's a star guardian MAFIA BOSS with a fedora that has star card, a scar from a distant battle from Zoe (he's the sole survivor of that conflict besides Zoe herself by using an elixir or something of that calibre) and losing his legs from that battle. He met the crew afterwards maybe and had a pajama guardian skin.
If fiddle can be in the lore so can Urgot
yea and urgots ult would be a 6 feet pink dildo
I think a entire cast of Veteran Star Guardians would be actually nice. Like a Star Guardian Mordekaiser, who is actually a kid but needs to stay inside the armor to protect himself but nobody knows that so he acts all edgy. Camille, being another veteran who had to replace most of her body parts due to injuries. A lot of champions could fit really well im a theme like this.
Everything is possible. They just dont want to spend money and time on it lol
i want star guardian urgot to be a old star guardian with ptsd
it would be awesome
Vars can only prolong his real Sion video for so long. He's running out of WNOP champs. He ended perfectly designed. The rework pool is dwindling. Our time nears.
Edit: We have the twelve all together. The ring of power can be formed. If we all vote on the Vars community poll, our will shall be enacted. You know what to do, my friends.
What happens if all 12 Sion mains gather in one place?
Will the Sioning begin?
@@malakimphoros2164 Here we are
@@malakimphoros2164
I name myself the third Sion main in this comment thread. We await the arrival of the remaining nine.
@@kamikazelemming1552 and the fourth has arrived
fifth sion main is here. vars can't stall the sion vid forever
Vars didn't mention W targets the closest unit, however that hitting Q makes W lock on to the target hit even if there are other units closer. Like how acid rain allowed his ability to become point and click, his current Q allows his W to auto-aim at the champion hit.
All his skills enabled his W to auto aim lock at the champion meaning he no longer relies on just hitting a single skillshot to be able to deal a bulk of his damage this enabled him to be more consistent as well.
I used to LOVE old urgot, it was my pocket pick mid, no one knew how he worked so I had my biggest successes with him, I could only play him for 3 weeks and then he got reworded.
Little did I know, it would happen again and again, for instance, I love fizz’s non-reverted W the one you had to recast after the bleeding bar was full, I’ m sad that they both changed when I loved them..
I actually loved loved old urgot as a support. Mark an enemy and then reduce his everything while your adc hits him and you poke until they run out of range and lose on an entire wave. After you get ult, any time you see an enemy engage you someone can stun enemy carries, just ult them and they die. Also good for baiting under you own turret when they try to hit it with their last 3 minions. Perfect timing lets you lock them under your turret for an easy kill. Add to that that no one expected your damage nor that you can weaken them so much because no one knew his kit. And the best part, I got giant enemy crabgot for free so I could lay waste with style
@@belivuk2526 Old Urgot could, honestly, go anywhere.
ADC? Very, very risky, but super fun with an engage support. Tilts the enemy with constant barrages of missiles if they dare approach the minion wave in any capacity.
Support? You said it - good engage, good poke, surprising utility.
Top? And they think ranged top is bad now! Untouchable peel and unrivaled range.
Mid? Rough, but pretty durable. Almost impossible to duel once he gets his claws in.
Jungle? Surprisingly scary ganks, double so with the ult, but the clear did suck.
God, I still miss that horrid abomination. Everything from his gameplay to his theme was so unique!
Especially nowadays, when straight ugliness and pity as a part of a champion's thematic and visual identity just isn't allowed. A champion has to be badass, cool, attractive, cute or funny.
Not to say that old League used to have better designs and stories, God no, but that's weirdly one area where the diversity and freedom of exploration ends in modern League.
@@thosebloodybadgers8499 yes, you said exactly how I feel about it too, I really miss the old horrifying concepts of the champions of that era, I loved the visual thematic and dialogues of old urgot so much
Old Urgot with thunder lords was amazing mid, build muramana first for damage and haste, hit 3 empowered Q’s and poke the enemy straight out of lane
Old urgot was my pocket counter pick to zed. They only need to ult you under tower once to know to never do it again
Graves and Nidalee are also reworks that completely changed the roles they were designed for with their reworks
So Urgot isn't alone on that front
Same with Poppy and Sion: Poppy was a weird auto-based hypercarry and Sion was either a burst mage or an AD lifesteal raidboss
graves was designed to be an ADC still, they just didn't considered that having his autos be stopped by minions would be as much of a detriment as it was, graves always liked to be right in the opponent's face, it's just that now it is more of a neccesity to the point where it is easier to just use him jungle
@@skylex157 i recently played graves with lethal tempo on botlane and it's very fun with proper support.
Not the best pick ever but definitely the most fun experience;)
honestly as an average player (silver) graves adc still works.
Nidalee pre reworking made no sense
She was just a spear champ (now it’s zoe) and never had a reason to cougar form
But when she can dash better and encourage cougar for now her kit makes sense
Urgot is such a good champion right now.
If you perform bad -> he feels very weak
If you perform good -> he feels like a death mashine, born for battle and revived and rebuild just to battle more and bring everyone down in big fights.
He truly feels like a Juggernaut. Aatrox heals feel cheap and Tahm tankiness + base dmg feel wrong. Darius can simply run you down once he gets a little ahead.
But Urgot always feels fair. I really like facing urgot. He does not have "cheese" but just a very solid kit.
Its fun to play against him.
All of what you said are why i left top and have been destroying mid and support with him lol
Imo urgot is more terrifying as a character than fiddle even in game getting tagged and dragged by the meat grinder is cruel
im so torn on the Urgot rework because I mained old Urgot and miss his kit a lot but I still really enjoy playing new urgot for different reasons. i wish both could exist at the same time lol
Same. Old Urgot was my main for two seasons. He wasn't the healthiest but he played incredibly unique.
Dam u r a league enjoyer what?
i wish theyd give him a skin that looks like his old style
@@untoldpaine Yeah, people rag on it for looking gross and ugly, but that was the point. His lore was that he captured Jarvan, got ambushed by Garen and cut in two, yet he didn't die. Zaun doctors tried to put him back together and did a bit of a messy job, and now he looks like a big mass of flesh and yet he keeps on. The dude is in constant pain but he just won't die.
@@MenwithHill wait what? holy fuck, garen was a lot more nasty back in his lore huh, now days he is a total pretty boi
I miss old urgot, he was one of the few adcs I was actually able to play without running it
Old urgot on URF was one of the most broken things I've ever seen.
Urgot Yorick was the meme combo
Old Urgot used to be my personal midlane pocket pick against assassins.
Something you neglected to mention was that his lock on worked through enemy stealth, serving as a point and click Q even on invisible enemies. Combine that with his ad reduction and you could give assassins a really hard time. You also always built a black cleaver early, giving you some aditional tankiness to make an assassins job that much harder. And if you had teammates nearby while an assassin was attempting to kill you or one of your teammates, you could point and click lockdown that enemy with your ult, almost guaranteeing a kill.
new urgot still very good into assassins, its absurdly hard for assassins to kill urgot with all his dmg and e
You didn't touch on this in the video but I think another big flaw in Urgot's old kit was that it was very passive. Ideally Urgot would sit back spamming long range Qs at the enemy until the enemy was forced to make a move, which urgot would then punish by being unreasonably scrappy for an artillery character. (Even without landing the acid grenade Urgot's Q was able to out-poke most champions. Sure it got way better when you landed the acid, but his neutral didn't rely on it as much as the video suggests)
You didn't want to use the acid bomb unless you can confirm a hit, which means you had to be close, you wanted to have the shield in case you get dove, and your ultimate was probably one of the best "fuck that play you want to make" abilities in the game. You couldn't really make plays with Urgot, only anti-plays.
(Also I will never forget M5's 1v2 solo bot lane Urgot. It's easily the proudest moment for that champion, flexing not only his strength as a character but also completely casting aside the rigid metagame of League of Legends, even back then... IEM Hanover M5 vs Dignitas Game 1 for anyone whose interested.)
Old Urgot could gattling gun his Q in Urf mode as well!
I miss the gameplay of the old Urgot, man. I had a lot of fun at the end of games where I would swap one of the enemies into the fountain to kill them.
We really need another very slow but hard hitting artillery ADC.
You’re making Oldgot sound op. And maaaaannnnnnn do I miss him. I only started playing him when his rework was on the way (I was super new to the game). I immediately picked up jungling with him and loved it. Easy ganks and homing missiles, funnn
i loooved the old urgot, he was a lane bully that noone knew how to play against. but his ult was really bad for him, most of the time you didnt want to use it unless you could get someone stuck under your tower
I made the most amazing outplay with old Urgot ult that I can still see in my mind. I was getting dove by 4 enemies under a turret and walked away after killing 2 of them Smilers.
So I mained old urgot and absolutely loved how goofy his build was he was amazing to play and just launch chainsaws at people halfway across the screen let alone his ult that would confuse the hell outta everyone except the user
I liked that his rework was the first implementation of visual overlays to the HUD to convey gameplay info. I think that the success and positive reception paved the way to other cool overlays like PROJECT / Sentinel Vayne during ult or being Pyke executed. I remember how freaky it was to get ulted by him and have chains cover the edges of your screen right after the rework.
The only issue was that the chains didn't retract if he was killed while ulting.
I had a few deaths because I wasn't clued in to the fact I was still alive and could escape.
i do think urgot gameplay is worth saving in some part , the spell pase sniper adc is cool idea to begin with ,but i do think some of his kit is kind of wired (his R key),but still good job on the video love 2 see more
The ultimate kinda makes perfect sense on him if you look at his kit as a whole. He's an anti-carry, really good at punishing people for trying to make plays (What with his acid grenade being instant at close range and a strong shield to punish you for forcing the issue on him), and the switch is honestly one of the biggest "Fuck that play you were trying to make" moves possible, both giving your team time to react to whoever was making said play and also setting them up to be destroyed the second the swap happens.
Back when I was in college me and the guys used to laugh at Old Urgot's Ult. "Hyper Kinetic Position Reverser" was such a hilariously long name for concept than can simply be called "Swap". The swap wasn't even long range it was exactly the same range as his auto-attack but the difference to DOTA 2 VS Swap was it gave you armor and MR.
He still is the red lobster of league of legends to me
Yes sir my boy urgot finally got the love he deserved
One thing I really like about urgot that you didn't mention is his w auto rythm which basically let's a good urgot player do way more damage than you might expect purely through timing
He was alright in normal games, but where he truly shined was on URF.
I remember having so much fun in URF with old Urgot. Not limited by his mana constraints, not encumbered by his long CDs, just focus building damage.
Missed your E? It's okay, you can try again in just a few seconds.
Landed your E? They are completely done for, as you spam the locked-on Q, slowing them with W, and as soon as the effect runs out you can almost immediately throw in another E.
And since you could focus your build on pure damage, you would absolutely MELT your opponent.
He was a whole artillery army all on his own.
So much fun.
So much pain and destruction.
I miss the good times.
Urgots ult made me scared to not have passive on Anivia, still does to this day but not as much, the idea that it also makes the body disappear is even more so to add a sense of fear. He was the first to have this effect, you know, before they have it to Lissandra's passive and then to Bel'veth, though if the coral disappears the body returns so I guess just lissandra and urgot. I wonder why they decided to do that.
Fear Beyond Death's recast basically brings the target to your chainsaw stomach.
Or I could say... they're coming inside you.
"Urgot just couldn't cut it as a champion" footage playing of Gravity destroying TSM lol ahhh somethings never change
Just sad that he has a thing for camille legs:
1000 modified true dmg
Auto reset
Mv speed boost
20 mana
4s cooldown
Cho'gath ult
I like it too, but i also fkin hate this sht
Mean while
Machine gun leg goes bbbbbbbbbbbbb
I think Urgot is THE forgotten champion, i can't remember seeing him except once 6 months ago, and yes, there are other champs like Ivern or Skarner, but they've got the reputation of not being picked, Urgot doesn't even has that, no one knows him, no one remembers the crab man.
And for this very reason he's fucking fire lvl 1, shreds everything to tears.
I think it’s funny most people played the old him as a tank top laner rather than as an adc that worked out way better . His e letting you auto target his q even through bushes and invis was so fun
I hope they bring back Oldgot's playstyle.
He was my second favorite champ to play. A fairly slow but tanky artillery piece that, if played properly, was so difficult to deal with. It was like playing a slightly more mobile bunker.
I played Urgot when he first came out and took him Mid or Top. With typical Frozen Heart and Manamune build bot lane was usually a no go. His kit was made to bully in lane with his range and engage, counter, and chase in team fights. I think with the rework it was a success. You still get to do those things but have less range now with no Q.
That being said killing people as they ran away with a long range Q was so satisfying. Made a lot of people rage.
"raid bosses his way"
goddamn that was so beautiful!
Completely agree with this take on Urgot. I know a lot of people have said his rework is too similar to Aatrox's, but as someone who played a solid few dozen games of pre-rework Urgot I think they did a phenomenal job at keeping a lot of the old parts of his kit but readding them in clever ways.
I played so many games of old urgot, every time i was vs Zed it was a instalock freewin😄
Old Urgots E into Q reminds me of modern Yoricks E, in the early game it has a 12 second cooldown, and it doesn't apply any pressure without graves nearby. If it does you can effectively out harass any champion except a fast autoattacker like irelia or warwick.
Love the use of the old Lollipoppy skin to represent the old Poppy.
Urgot R and his music theme is so good man
I learned how to play Ezreal just because I play old Urgot so I'm actually liking how you frequently compare them to each other
i loved old urgot and miss him :( his ult was so crazy, hope they bring it back on someone else in a similar form, but I guess nowadays the ult wouldn´t only swap places but also give shields, ms, stun everyone arround him and give 100% bonus lifesteal or some stupid shit, so I don´t know if I really want it ^^´ but new champs are coming anyway then atleast bring this fun ability back
1:20 **looks at old poppy** "KILL IT WITH FIRE"
Vars missed the opportunity to mention the SHOTGUN KNEE for 17min.

Current Urgor actually mantains a lot of old Urgot. I will argue that the only new thing is the passive:
Q: is his old E even with the lock on mechanic
W: they kept the shield while also giving him offensive capabilities like the old one, the shield was later moved to the E so it would be easier to balance
E: old ult but weaker
R: it's actually a mega powerful version of his old Q, locks on champions, straight line missile, makes him a threat even when he is not close, can be lethal in the right situation
Played both and felt that they kept the opresive playstyle of the old one quite well
Ah yes,my favourite champion URGOR
I used to main old Urgot, seeing other player having no clue against this champ was quite funny. Once they got hit by Urgot's E, and I have the BC and Manamune combo, their health bar would be gone so fast. And there's one time my team was doing Baron, enemy adc came interupting us, and the good ol' switcheroo got it gangbanged by my team, and I survived because the R gave tons of resistance when used.
Btw a fun fact Tyler1 didn't make use to execute people with the ultimate in teamfights but the fear of the ultimate( ult flash) as you said and I really like the rework
I really miss old Urgot. I mained him in S5-6, was a good time.
Just a kickass video. Really appreciated you voicing those criticisms of Aatrox's rework as its something I completely agree with.
Old urgot was used in competitive. First worlds league ever held featured a meta where Urgot would dominate bot lane alone while a support would roam the river, ward, harass the jungler, gank lanes. With how weak the old supports were, Urgot could manage to bully in a 2v1.
His main problem was.. there werent many items to support his playstyle. He wasn't an adc really, he was more of an ad caster like pantheon. I bet with the current muramana, and all the lethality items, ikd urgot could work well.
I LOVED prerework Urgot. He was a meme pick before certain changes went through, mainly the rework on his Shield, his Swapper and how his basic attacks worked. Before he was kinda of a trolly ranged bruiser that sometimes won through matchup knowledge and sometimes through actual counterpicking.
Urgot on his first gameplay rework was a dedicated AntiMarksman and could be played either Mid, Top or Bottom Lane. He was really fun and had clear weaknesses and strengths that made him a realiable choice for many a teams. I guess his impopularity was because he was buttfreaking ugly, his fantasy of a zombiefied abomination wasn't that appealing on design and lore and his previous kit failures and low winrate users made it quite a troll pick until Competitive started picking him.
When the rework was finally announced, a lot of people still played Urgot as an AntiCarry or SupportCarry that helped AD Centric teams progress. He was functional, but he also was balanced on a knife edge. I can see why Riot removed him. If he lands his skillshots, he is unstoppable and besides disengaging him, he just free damages you with zero problems until his mana bites him and if he doesn't, he kinda just wobbles about for a bit because unless he has his ultimate up, he isn't that great.
I still think a champ like him can work. His Ultimate was freaking cool and the concept of a turret champ kinda still exists with Cassiopeia. If they ever return to the concept, I want them to remove the binary aspect of his lock on, but remove his innate tankiness and how invisible his statchecking really was. But to be honest, I just want another champ that has that Ult. Nothing felt better than just Ulting the ADC and having the enemy team panic into either leave him be, protect him with a cancel or try to fight their way to stop the poor thing from getting zeroed by your team. That was fun.
10:05 graves wants to know your location
Tbf, Zeri is(was) also a tanky artillery marksman, with the "charge into enemy team" prowess of a juggernaut
The last point is why I feel like this is why Urgot's rework success does not invalidate Aatrox's rework failure. Old Urgot's style just wouldn't work and this new one fits him far better. Old Aatrox was a draintank juggernaut focused on Auto attacks and deciding which form of on-hit to use at each moment (extra damage vs extra sustain). I like new Aatrox, but it was not necessary to rework his playstyle away from auto attacks.
near the end of the old versions life i played him top marumana into tank his old passive and his ult was the only way this was sorta good a 15% damage reduction to any target that you auto or Q was kind op
Especially against yasuo with tabi rush
Urgot was actually one of the better reworks in the sense that there really was no salvaging his old self. So he really needed a 100% re-imagining like this. And it worked amazingly well
Old urgot: crab meme
New urgot: Shotgun Knees meme
Graves was complety removed from bot as well with his rework
I really miss going full AP burst and one shotting with the old poppy. Her damage was crazy and it’s unfair that it got removed for what she is now. You could always go tank but ap and ad did insane damage and it was so fun to see people’s reaction to being one shot against a wall
Honestly current Lethality Poppy can achieve hilarious one-shot combos, it's just not as degenerate as original poppy because she can't just become damage-immune. But if you land E on current Poppy you can Q -> R ->AA and they'll die while being stunned during the whole combo.
I really REALLY enjoyed playing old urgot. It was a ton of fun to play and the rework made me quit the champ in it's entirety.
He plays so totally different it's really hard to find any of the same fun.
Ok old urgot main here- the vgu/rework was necessary as most of the kit can be adjusted to not make the kit redundant. I would have made the corrosive charge slow as well and adjust the w. I would make the new w either a damage ability or passive/steroid which would shield urgot upon activation and adjust the ult as well. I would make it the execute or something similar. I would adjust the passive to make it grant attack speed and damage reduction. Thats it. He just needed light adjustments and buffs. I would also buff the q's damage and do increased damage if you have hit them with consecutive qs in quick succession. This would stack 5 times, but only unlocks after reaching 6. This would make it so he can't steamroll you right away. I personally liked the idea of a ranged skirmisher/caster marksman
I always played old urgot as support, used ult to peel, and rushed black cleaver for the 45% armor shred and the passive reduction so my adc could kill any diver fast
got to plat 4 with it btw, so not the best ever, but for sure not a troll pick like people thought
Classic urgot with items today would be pretty wild
Its funny because i feel like illaoi has the exact same gameplay loop as old urgot
i miss old urgot so much. Hit D1 with him for the first time maining him
i did love old urgot. but new urgot is fun too.
So no one is gonna talk about that sick lee play at 13:00
Vars: he got moved from bot lane to top and beefed him up
Me who plays Urgot as a support:
His shotgun knees are really cool
"The only rework which changed the intended role"
Gr... oh wait that wasn't the *plan*
Aatrox was a diver and became a juggernaut with the rework, so he also changed class, althought it stayed in the fighter group.

Totally Not Bane, 2017
Old Urgot was my favorite champion by far. His gameplay was flawed, but tanky artillery was fun to play and his ult was always unexpected and super disruptive.
But even more than that, Old Urgot was a horrible, ugly monster straight out of Papa Nurgle's ballsack and him being so underplayed, the moment you roamed the enemies were genuinely terrified of him. Winning or losing was irrelevant, as long as you could be a terrifying scary ugly thing.
Who is Nurgle ?
@@Elverossa one of the chaos gods of Warhammer 40k. Basically a big fat abomination of rotten flesh.
To be honest they didn't do much with conecpt on Urgot. They just reversed his play patern. Rather that having him long range poke with close range cc to trap opponents.
To close range fighter that trap opponents in his sweet spot zone, that has long range finisher if enemy wants to escape.
If you think about it.
Just remember:
S H O T G U N. K N E E S.
wish there could be more eldritch-/ Lovecraftian-themed skins like the crab god urgot or thousand-pierced volibear. what a masterpiece.
The backlash against reworked Aatrox was in part due to the fact he'd just started to pick up usage and popularity... when the rework was already announced and nearly finished.
6:41 "Weirdest ability in the game"
It's just a Nether Swap.
I miss old urgot, tbh I miss the Q+E mechanic, that felt good, having that heat seaking missile was so good, wish rito bring that mechanic back
One step closer to Sion.
Graves' role changed with his VGU :)
Something you never touch on was how needless wordy his abilities were. Seems negligible. But I remember one pro game where Urgot was played and the commentators kept dropping their words trying to shout cast haha
NGL I actually liked urgot before rework, ADC caster with a huge range
Unpopular opinion: old Urged was GREAT, all it needed was a visual and ult rework, everything else was PERFECT
His ult was absolutely amazing. Old urgot was so great and flexible, ever since his Rework he lacks so much and feels kinda clunky imo
@@Nicole-cc2re je just feels slow now, like driving a big ass truck
RIP old Aatrox, only champ completely removed from the game
I mained urgot before his update and after.
If I remember this right, I dont think Urgots Q was even a skillshot. I think it worked like how rumble flame thrower does, it just shoots straight in the direction he's standing.
It was a skillshot, always fired at the point where you clicked on unless someone was marked, and if there were multiple marked enemies then it would go to the closer one to where you clicked IIRC.
Oldgot was pretty fun to play, but he really shone on mid to high MMR Dominion (along with several other champs that were bad on Summoner’s Rift like old Karma). Turns out a map/mode with very different design constraints and objectives will have very different ideas of what makes a champ work-greater ease of flanking, a map with less time for traditional ADCs to scale, and objectives that fast basic attacks don’t help you take faster made Urgot’s AD caster gameplay much more valuable by comparison.
I also love new Urgot, and he’s actually one of my most played champs on ARAM. I do kind of wonder if you could maybe do a Dominion retrospective at some point, though.
I miss old urgot
I used to play him in top or mid lane and destroy enemies with him!
Ultimate was tricky but usually you were tanky enough with frozen heart and Black cleaver to Survive 😮💨
Graves had his role changed drastically with his rework 😁
Just one thing
SHOTGUN KNEEEES
Urgot to me was always ANti-Marksman played in the bot lane. He was one of the first marksman top meta. He was supposed to be reliant on a particular build path, but of course playing him tanky and with mana pots meant that he could have consistent damage while having great durability. This ultimately sealed his fate, as he was nerfed into oblivion and eventually reworked to be exactly the same thing that made him troublesome in the first place. It was a running joke at the time that if we saw an off-meta pick at LCS that it was going to get nerfed immediately after. Riot doesn't like it when their horse and ponies are dunked on.
Urgot was amaizing, my favorite character ever in LoL, and the idea of him being changed due to his toxic gameplay falls completly when you see new champions like Yone and Viego being manaless. Tho I like the rework is nowhere near as fun for me.
Imagine having a tanky bruiser marksman who is not utilizing crit chance (gnar)
ah yes urgot thechamp whos god in every phase
Urgot and Yorick both fundamentally were busted poke champions. They both way early in the game's life were nerfed hard and basically put on ice because if they were buffed in any way it would make them incredibly strong. If you had his kit today it probably wouldn't be as much as a problem but still would be incredibly safe characters to play top and a nightmare for opponents. One of my most hated reworks because I've always been a bot person and they took my big beautiful rotting baby from me with that rework
**S H O T G U N K N E E S**
remember folks
Urgot and lillia are considered ranged champions
and nilah isnt
🤔
Yeah, new Urgot is one of the coolest rework Riot ever did... But old Urgot was so fun to play!!
agreed with most of this, but if ima be honest urgot snowball/cary is QUITE hard, sure you can do it but its gonna be way harder compared to other champs I feel
Idc wat anyone says i been playing this game since you had to buy runes and yoricks rework was the most felt its impressive how they changed that “thing” into what he is now
