How to Beat Urgot as Riven (Top)

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, Riven deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Urgot deals mainly physical damage (90.11%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Riven is higher farming statistics (ranked 10th among role champions) (versus 46th for Urgot), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.0 versus 1.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Riven Top versus Urgot Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Riven 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.

Riven tips:

  • Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.
  • Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Playing Against Urgot

  • Urgot relies heavily on blasting opponents with his legs, which have their own cooldowns and only detonate when he attacks in the direction they are facing. Avoid getting hit by multiple.
  • Urgot can deal and absorb tremendous amounts of damage with Purge, but slows himself while firing.
  • If you are struck by Fear Beyond Death, do your best to avoid falling below the execution threshold (25% of your Maximum Health) until the effect times out.
