Seemed like he was 'What?'ing my statement instead.

I too would like to see Urgot buffed. But part of the appeal for me is that NOBODY plays him, so when I play him, people are like "What is that idiot crab doing?"

If they buffed Urgot that would draw attention to him and then more people would play him. I'm not saying that I'm against Urgot buffs, but for me part of the novelty of Urgot is that he's so rare to see in play.

I don't know if he's actually that weak though. He does have a nice passive and I've certainly killed people with his ult before as they don't realize the massive armor and magic resists he gains from his ultimate. That being said, his auto attack range is atrocious. (It's only 425 range!)

Of course, if he wasn't weak, I'm sure a lot more people would be playing him.

Somewhat offtopic

Anyone know if hotshotgg plays board games? Because on boardgamearena.com there's this guy named HotshotGG and it's not exactly a common username so it's either someone purposely taking his name or it's actually him.

He beat me at Race for the Galaxy.

So Voyboy's stream:
He had AP masteries on zed and didn't have his preferred runepage either. He was talking about how hard of a lane he will have constantly for like a full minute, especially because of the masteries.

I tune out while I do some accounting hw. Come back: 6-1-2. LOL dis Voy too good.

edit: He just got a penta LOL da fuck.

I think Urgot lost a lot of his strength after M5 did that thing with the Urgot and the Nocturne. Urgot has that pro level niche where he's able to make this level 6 pick.

Just another result of overreactions from Riot's balance team.

I think people gank at level 3 because there's basically nothing else to do after clearing blue/red. The only way to get to level 4 is to clear the golem camp or wait another minute, but clearing the golem camp isn't ideal since it is positioned in such a place that you really have to commit to get it, so most of the time, golem is the end route when there's nothing else to do.

It's advisable to try to gank at level 3 than to go golem for level 4. Not only it takes much longer time to get to level 4 (clear blue/red/wolf/wraith/golem compared to blue/red/(wraith)), but you kind of miss all the timing. Ganking at level 3, even if it's a success one or not, gain you one of these:
+ A kill
+ A summer spell burn
+ if the enemy feel afraid and get zoned out, your top/mid laner basically have 2 free waves since you're camping and waiting a minute for the neutral camp to respawn anyway.
+ if you gank and they have to burn 2 healthpot for example, that's basically you're swapping a golem camp for mid advantage (35+35 = 55+15), you lose your hp, but you have to go back to base anyway, so it doesn't really matter if you do it right.

One thing to mention that doing wolves at level 2 is very random, since wolves can do crit attack. If you do at level 2 and is unlucky, the wolf can burn you a couple of healthpot for free, which is kind of stupid. You should try to do the first wolf when you're about to go back to base or full health

The only good jungle route to get access to lvl 4 fast is when you're on the red side, which by clearing golem, you'll also have access to top lane. If you're blue and try to get to lvl 4 fast by clearing golem, you'll end up at bot, which is kind of useless at that point of the time.

When were those nerfs? It was pretty good pick in all stars for US vs China, before Saint and DL went full retard and tier 2 bot turret.
