I don't think that Riot doesn't value your opinion. You have to remember that they have to listen to the opinions of millions of players, not just yours alone. I think that old Urgot filled a particular niche that was very interesting and I'm somewhat sad to see it go, I hope they can bring back the fun artillery style of play Urgot had in a future champion. The thing is, Urgot is tied down to one particular style of play now which is being a ranged attack damage bruiser who has good single target focus.

Urgot works best in toplane as a bruiser. You need tobuild damage on him in order to be effective, building only defensive items with no attack damage will be fruitless. For this, I highly recommend Black Cleaver since he stacks it pretty well and makes use of all of the stats it gives. I would rush this item if you are not falling behind. I'd look into the new items that are being introduced very soon; Atma's Reckoning and Shojin's spear. They provide defense and attack damage for urgot. For defensive items, I get either Spirit Visage or Adaptive healm for magic resist and Sunfire Cape, randuuin's omen, or deadman's plate depending on which I feel is most necessary.

I like to take Press the Attack on Urgot. The on-hit effect is reduced during hiw W, but he still stacks it quickly and functions with it well. As for my secondary rune tree, I like to take second wind/conditioning and overgrowth. You can also try fleet footwork and conqueror if you wish, they are also good options.

You can max Q or W depending on who you are laning against. Maxing Q will give you good poke during laning and allow you to bully your opponent off of minions in order to make them fall behind. Maxing W is a safer option since it gives you a stronger shield on a lower cooldown. I usually max W no matter who I am laning against, but it's even moreso recommended when you're against tougher matchups like darius fiora and gnar. I would not max E first since it does not do much damage and is on a long cooldown.
