Playing Against Urgot
TopPatch 16.2.1
What They Do
A ranged juggernaut that excels at shredding health with shotgun knees and executing low-health targets with . He wants to flip you with and orbit you while his machine gun triggers his passives.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Orange glowing indicators on his legs | Shotgun blasts that deal massive max-HP damage. Once a leg fires, it goes on a long cooldown early game. Avoid standing on the 'glowing' sides. | |
| A small canister launch that explodes after a delay | Deals damage and slows. Most importantly, it 'marks' you so his focuses you. If you dodge this, he might shoot minions instead of you. | |
| Rapid fire machine gun | Urgot fires 3 times per second but slows himself. At rank 5 (Level 9), this becomes a permanent toggle with no cooldown. It procs very quickly. | |
| A short dash with a shield | If he hits you, he flips you behind him and stuns you. This is his only mobility and his primary defensive tool. If he misses, he is extremely vulnerable. | |
| A chem-drill projectile | Slows based on missing HP. If you fall below 25% health while the drill is in you, he can reactivate it to pull you in for an unavoidable execute. |
Respect

- !The 25% Health Threshold→If you are below 25% HP, is a guaranteed kill. You cannot heal, shield, or lifesteal your way out of the reel-in once it starts.
- !E-Flash Engage→Urgot can start the animation and then Flash to extend the range. This is an instant, unreactable flip that usually leads to your death.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (16-12s)→This is his only shield and escape. When it's down, he is immobile and much squishier. All-in him immediately.
- +He misses early game→Without the mark from , his will target the nearest enemy. Stand inside your minion wave so his machine gun hits minions while you hit him.
- +His passive legs are on CD→Early game, each leg has a ~30s cooldown. If he uses the legs facing you to clear the wave, trade with him from that side.
- +Self-slow during →Urgot slows himself by 125 move speed while firing. Use this to kite him or outrun him if you aren't marked by or .
Laning Tips

- •Urgot's has a brief windup. If you have a displacement (like a knockback), you can use it right as he starts to dash to cancel his momentum.
- •Bramble Vest is great early, but prioritize the flat damage reduction from Warden's Mail first.
- •If you are hit by , you can use Quicksilver Sash or Gangplank's Orange to break the chains DURING the reel-in animation.
Teamfight Warning

- ⚠Urgot is a 'juggernaut,' not a true tank. Focus fire him when he dashes in with , as he has no other way to get out.
- ⚠He will try to Flash-E your carry. Keep the area warded and don't let him sit in a brush near the objective.
- ⚠Kite him backwards. Urgot struggles immensely against long-range ADCs and mages that can slow him while his self-slow is active.
- ⚠If Urgot is fed, do not try to 1v1 him post-level 9 unless you are a dedicated tank-shredder; his sustained damage is too high.
