Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.6% popularity, Urgot constantly encounters meta-dominant Gnar (3.7%, 20th place out of 64 Top champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Urgot performance in the current patch. Surprising upset: Despite Urgot's higher tier rating, Gnar wins 51.3% of encounters. This suggests Gnar's kit specifically counters Urgot's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Urgot's impressive 52.6% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Gnar presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Press the Attack + Triumph combination (55.7% win rate) plus optimal itemization Titanic Hydra, Black Cleaver, Sterak's Gage, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 48.8% to 67.0% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Urgot's superior farming (7.38 vs 6.78/min, 10th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.60 CS/min natural advantage. Outclassed across the board: Gnar leads in both matchup win rate (51.3%) and damage (851 vs 694/min). Urgot must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Urgot maintains better KDA (2.00, 18th place vs 26th for Gnar), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Gnar as Urgot (Top)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Urgot versus Gnar matchup in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Urgot deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Gnar deals mainly physical damage (80.35%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Urgot is higher farming statistics (ranked 10th among role champions) (versus 21st for Gnar), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Urgot Top versus Gnar Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Urgot player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Gnar 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.

Urgot tips:

  • Pay attention to your individual leg's cooldowns, as they make for a signficiant portion of your damage
  • Land Corrosive Charge or Disdain to lock on to target's with Purge - a great way to trigger multiple legs in rapid succession.
  • Save Fear Beyond Death for opponents you know are already too weak to survive. It's especially good for picking off fleeing foes.

Playing Against Gnar

  • Gnar can't gain Rage for 15 seconds after he turns from big to little. Use this chance to engage on his team.
  • Gnar's animations and resource bar change as he gets closer to transforming.
  • Gnar's ultimate stuns if he hits you into a wall. Be careful when fighting him near one.
