Survive and scale: Urgot faces both matchup (48.39%) and farming disadvantages (6.68 vs 7.44/min). With a 0.76 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Urgot outputs more damage (793 vs 777/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup.

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.
