Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.6% popularity, Urgot constantly encounters meta-dominant Malphite (5.3%, 8th place out of 63 Top champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Urgot performance in the current patch. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Urgot's impressive 52.3% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Malphite presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Phase Rush + Nimbus Cloak combination (75.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Black Cleaver, Spear of Shojin, Sterak's Gage, and Mercury's Treads boosts your chances from 47.0% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Urgot's superior farming (6.68 vs 6.31/min, 22nd among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.37 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Urgot outputs more damage (793 vs 667/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Malphite: leads in both matchup win rate (53.0%) and KDA (2.50 vs 1.90, 2nd vs 24th place). Urgot players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Malphite as Urgot (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, Urgot deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Malphite deals primarily magic damage (72.19%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Urgot is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 35th for Malphite), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.5 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Urgot Top versus Malphite 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 Malphite 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 Malphite

  • If you're a physical damage character stay behind your allies when fighting Malphite. Ground Slam can significantly reduce your damage output.
  • Malphite is one of a couple tanks who are capable of jungling. Watch out if he gets Smite.
