An important advantage of Urgot is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 60th for Shen), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.

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