How to Beat Riven as Urgot (Top)

While statistically Urgot is slightly stronger than Riven in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. 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. Riven deals mainly physical damage (92.77%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Urgot is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 29th for Riven), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.8 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Urgot Top versus Riven Top matchup

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 Riven, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

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 Riven

  • Riven has a great deal of mobility but she cannot move very far with any one skill. Rooting or silencing her during her combo will greatly reduce her effectiveness.
  • All of Riven's damage is physical, prioritize high Armor if an opposing Riven gets out of control.
  • Riven excels at dueling multiple melee attackers at once, as she will be on an almost equal footing damage-wise. If pairing up against Riven, don't go in as double melee until she has expended her full combo.
