Urgot's League Of Legends Login Theme Is As Brutal As It Gets

Kayn may have his bad-boy vibe with his shifty magic and a talking scythe, but he's got nothing on the intensity that Urgot is bringing to the Rift when he's released. If there was any doubt about what kind of an attitude the newly-reworked Urgot will be bringing when he's released, just check out the login theme above.

Urgot's login theme, uploaded by the YouTube channel frostyNinjawho gathers up all of the new logins when they're tested on the PBE, brings a level of gritty, industrial vibes to it that have rarely been seen in League of Legends in previous champions, certainly not to the level that we see here. The login isn't any different from the still splash images that were provided with Urgot when his rework was revealed, but adding the slight animations to it along with the powerful music make him look like an entirely new champ, not just an old one who's been given the modern treatment.

Zaun's got a reputation for content like this, so it's only fitting that Urgot's login properly represents the champ's newly updated lore and his more narrowed theme. Players will remember that Warwick was also a product of Zaun, a man-turned beast through some horrid experiments who seeks revenge against the Chem-Barons that rule the lawless land. Urgot's a Noxian at heart, but after being betrayed by Swain, a champ that's also now up for a rework, Urgot's been amped up with some Zaunite, chem-based technology, and he's looking to exact his revenge.

While he'll be operating alone in-game, likely in the top lane and perhaps even in the jungle, it's clear from this login that, lore-wise, he's got a whole crew of followers working with him. When he was betrayed, he was tossed down in the mines of Zaun, so there's no doubt a couple of forsaken spirits down there who wouldn't mind a change of regime and are more than willing to follow Urgot. You've got the main underling in the login giving Urgot a gnarly tattoo – something that will hopefully be explained closer to his reveal – another worker fixing up Urgot's mechanized leg, and some poor soul in the back left who looks like he got on Urgot's bad side.

There's definitely some Mad Max: Fury Road vibes mixed in with some Bane elements here, and with this new login, Urgot's meat-grinding rework just keeps looking more promising.
