Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Quality over quantity: Urgot wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (694 vs 696/min), the 52.4% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact.

The Urgot versus Garen matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Urgot deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Garen deals mainly physical damage (73.99%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Garen, ranking 8th (versus 10th for Urgot) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Urgot player to maintain constant pressure on Garen, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
