How I like to think of Urgot being weaker early (lore wise)

Urgot is weak early because he gets to be strong mid and late yadda yadda yadda. BORing! Here's how I think of it. Urgot thought he knew strength but it wasn't until he delved into his crucible of pain that he learned what true strength really was. The early game is your "crucible of pain". A tenet of the One true Urgod. Walk the path every game and remember his Nipple.
