What makes Urgot dangerous
Urgot fires his leg-shotguns for sustained percent-health damage, slows and shields, and his ultimate impales a low-health target — executing them and fearing nearby enemies if they die. He's a durable frontliner who out-trades in extended fights and snowballs off a lane lead.
How to play against Urgot
- 1Don't take extended trades — his leg shotguns ramp up percent-health damage. Poke and disengage before he stacks it.
- 2Stay above his ult's execute threshold — his R impales and kills low-health targets and fears everyone around the corpse. Don't sit low in his range.
- 3He's slow and immobile besides his E charge. Kite him with slows and ranged damage; if you can't disengage he grinds you down.
- 4Grievous Wounds cuts his shield/sustain builds, and % health damage is wasted on his high HP — burst or kite instead.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Low mobility — kiteable by ranged and slows.
- ✓Weak if trades are kept short.
- ✓Ult only executes low-health targets.
- ✓Falls off vs very late-game hypercarries.

Strong: his leg shotguns ramp up percent-health damage in extended fights. Weak: poke and disengage in short trades before he stacks it.
E
MéprisUrgot fonce dans une direction, s'entoure d'un bouclier et piétine les ennemis sur son passage (hors champions). S'il percute un champion ennemi, il s'arrête et le projette hors de son chemin.
R
Règne de la terreurUrgot tire un trépan qui empale le premier champion ennemi touché. Si ce champion tombe sous un certain seuil de PV, Urgot considère qu'il est trop faible et peut l'exécuter.
Strong: impales and executes a low-health target, fearing enemies if it dies. Weak: it has a health threshold — stay above it and don't sit low in his range.
Itemization
Urgot is AD with percent-health damage and shields. Grievous Wounds and armor blunt him, and kiting with slows beats his short range. Stay above his ult threshold in fights.
