Demonic embrace on Urgot.
Post Body

So I just learned through a quick test in the practice tool that when Urgot has demonic embrace, all 5 of your abilities can proc it.

"But Urgot only has 4 active abilities!" you might say, and I am responding that through testing I have learned the splash damage from the leg cannons proc it too, even when you have not used an ability! Don't ask me why the leg cannons proc it too, because I don't know!

What does "All 5 of your abilities can proc it" mean, you then ask? It means, that including the obvious answers of "Your Corrosive Charge (Q), Your Disdain (E), and your Fear Beyond Death (R)" procing Demonic, the first hit of your "Purge (W)" also procs demonic embrace, every time it is activated for the first hit.

This means that Urgot could probably build the same way Zac builds for the same explosive damage Boost that Zac gets right now from Sunfire Aegis -> Demonic Embrace.

Why would you want to do this? Because Urgot struggles finding ways to add HP to his kit at the same time he is trying to add %hp reduction damage to his damage output, and you don't want to build Blade of the Runed King because you don't want to waste the gold on unnecessary attack speed. You would build this so called "Troll tank Urgot" build when the enemy team is full of fat champions you are struggling to deal with, or maybe your team needs magic damage on a team of 5 AD champs. Maybe you want the %hp dot because when you launch your ult, you find you're missing that extra 4% health off the top of the kill zone for the chains to come out and drag your foe in to their timely demise. Who knows!

I haven't tried this out in ranked yet, but I wanted to put this idea out while Riot hasn't done anything to demonic embrace without ruining Urgot.

Any feedback would be appreciated with experienced testing in ranked, because that is what I'm going to do. Any other thoughts are welcome but not appreciated.
