Damage doesn't equal wins: Garen outputs more damage (695 vs 685/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Garen deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Urgot deals mainly physical damage (89.22%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Urgot, ranking 9th (versus 34th for Garen) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.0 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Garen player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Urgot player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
