Urgot, the Headsman's Pride

Fun fact, Urgot is the champion that I got my first Pentakill with :D

So this review is for the ugliest champion in the entire game. Honestly I love using urgot when he's free, but he's so ugly..... I would have to buy one of his skins if I play as him regularly in game. Urgot is a long ranged physical fighter. the majority of his abilities use only AD, except for his W.

His passive is called Zaun-Touched Bolt Augmenter. Which although the name sounds complex, the ability is pretty simple. It means that Urgot's basic attacks reduce the damage enemies deal by 15% for 2.5 seconds. Combine that with Ninja Tabi shoes, and you're blocking 25% of the damage done before the fight even starts.

His Q is called Acid Hunter, and is one of the best harassment/hunting abilities possible if used right. He fires an acid hunter missile in a line, dealing damage to the first enemy that it hits. If an enemy is effected by Urgot's E though, you can hover your mouse over the enemy and activate acid hunter, in which the missile will avoid all unit collision, hunting the enemy that you targeted. It will hit regardless of the range you activate it from, as long as they're effected by his E and you target them. ONE THING TO REMEMBER: if you play using your keyboard, acid hunter does not require any clicking to shoot. you point your mouse at where you want the missile to go, and then press the key and it will fly. Also, you don't have to click on the enemy in order to target them. Just hover your mouse over them. This ability is excellent for harassment and hunting low health enemies. It also works with black cleaver, lowering their armor each hit.

Urgot's W is called Terror Capacitor. This ability puts up a shield around Urgot, absorbing damage for 7 seconds. This is the only ability that takes AP, which adds 80% of your AP onto the base shield health. Along with the shield, while it's active Urgot's basic attacks slow the enemy. This is great for chasing down enemies, and making sure you can land hits with the acid hunter.

His E is called Noxian Corrosive Charge. He shoots out acid in a targeted circle (much like twitch's flask). Any enemies hit by the charge take DOT damage and reduces their armor starting at 12% at level 1 and ending at 20% at level 5. It also gives you the ability to lock onto the enemies with acid hunter.

Finally, his ult is called Hyper-Kinetic Positron Reverser (whatever the hell that means). Urgot charges his ability for one second, suppressing the targeted champion in the process. After it's charged, he switches places with them. When he switches places with them, his armor and magic resistance is increased and the target is slowed by 40% for 3 seconds. This ability is great for preventing an enemy from escaping and throwing a single enemy into your team for a gank. The only issue is that it can also put you in danger of getting attacked by enemies in the process.

Urgot has a few different ways that you can build his items, but I built mine for manamune.
Start with boots of speed and doran's blade.
build up your desired tier 2 boots, I made Ninja tabi.
get sanguine blade for some early damage and life steal
make tear of the goddess early to start charging bonus mana. when you can, create manamune. eventually that will turn into muramana.

Next get black cleaver for a little damage, health, and a lot of armor reduction.

at this point the suggested item says to build frozen heart. I would suggest building iceborn gauntlet instead, considering they both give you mana, armor, and cooldown reduction, but iceborn gauntlet also slows an enemy after you use an ability, gives mana regen., and ability power for your shield.

Sell doran's blade and buy a dagger, eventually building into Nashor's Tooth for attack speed, ability power, cooldown reduction, and mana regen.

finally, build whatever tier 3 boots you think are necessary. I built Furor for more chasing ability.

Urgot's specialty is taking down squishy low health units, such as mages and support. use his E to target them, and send a couple of his acid hunters at them and it will eat their health like Kog'maw eating a steak dinner.
