Hey! I'm Urpog. I'm the best off-meta Urgot in the world out of us 8 off-meta mains. I've played league for a couple of seasons now originally starting out as a top lane main. Now a multi-role masters Urgot only player who's trying to give everyone the knowledge about playing Urgot in non-conventional roles.
|
1. Rune choice, strengths, early strats
|
2. Early laning phase & excuting it well
|
3. Matchup guides & Synergy lists
|
Welcome to the word-chunk portion filled of my guide, I'll be going over every role and giving you my best attempts at feeding you information so you're not completely overwhelmed in your attempts in off-rolling Urgot.
When you're reading you can expect to find information in the order of the graphic above for every role, I'm updating this guide every day in hopes to give you the absolute most amount of information possible, so feel free to contact me directly to ask any questions this guide doesn't answer!

PROS
+ If done correctly, overpowered clear speed
+ Great early skirmisher, Level 3/4 power spike + Great invader, kill camps quick & getting out + One of the best users of Predator + Enemy thinks you're toplane + Countergank god + Most skill expressive role out of his 5 |
CONS
- Incredibly weak against coordinated teams
- Struggles from behind
- Weak when being invaded
- Squishier than your normal Urgot build
- New playstyle adaptation required
- Your team will probably flame you
- Weaker scaling
|
|
Predator
+ Great mobility + Early-mid game powerhouse + Good damage + Fun, rejuvenating playstyle + Catch enemies offguard with permanent presence - Gank heavy, worse in 1v1, utility build. |
|
PTA
+ Strong 1 v 1 potential + Great early middle late + Easy activation requirement + Enables full precision skill line + Exposure damage works with teammates - Much slower to path around the jungle |

When you're playing
Jungle, it's incredibly important that you go in with a game plan due to being unable to 1 v 5 on

's identity is 2 v 5. You need to determine what champion on your team will do the best against the enemies team composition and prioritize your ganking around them.
's best winrates linger around 0 - 25 minutes, with this build and role you aren't playing the scaling game, you're playing to end games before they reach the 30-minute mark by getting what you've determined your win condition is ahead and securing objectives. If games head beyond the 30-minute mark those are the games you should VOD watch and try to understand what you did wrong, what you could've done better and how your actions impacted the game either negatively or positively.
To pilot
jungle's early game I've created the optimal clear for both sides of the jungle.

You determine which lane you should gank based on what the enemy laner is and what your laner can provide for you. If the enemy laner is a champion with multiple dashes (
) and many escape options just visit your other lane which has lane setup for you instead then rotate back up to the scuttle.
The idea with your first pathing that I've created is that you're setting yourself up to be as strong as possible for the contest at scuttles, not many jungles do contest you at the scuttles anymore but on the occasion that they do, you'll have everything
up with double buff.

If they contest you're probably going to get one kill. If you get one kill but die it's still completely worth it. One kill with the full-path clear equals around 950 gold which enable your lucidity boots.

PROS
+ An actually useful role, unlike toplane
+ Your matchups aren't as onesided as toplane + Great anti-jungle farming options with Tiamat + Great level 3, scuttle/dragon contest easy + Able to brickwall enemy champions who rely on being fed (eg Katarina, Zed) + Enables Ignite, E Flash + Ignite level 2 99% time kills. + Anti-assassin |
CONS
- Gets demolished by control mages
- People think you're troll picked which leads to getting camped
- Low resource generation, if you OOM you're losing
- Hard to follow enemy roams
- New playstyle required, many new matchups to learn
- Your jungle will probably ignore your lane
- Stricter buildpaths available
|
|
Press The Attack
+ Stronger 1 v 1 potential + Great early-middle-late + Easy activation requirement + Enables full precision skill line + Strongest rune for Urgot + Great for teamfighting |
|
Conqueror
+ Enables full precision skill line + Raid boss behemoth playstyle + The best for teamfighting - No longer meta but still usuable - Weaker laning phase for better scaling - Rough activation requirement |

's level 1 or level 2 - control mages are the only champions who stand the fighting chance. What you're trying to achieve here is pressure.

If you've picked up an early kill, you'll want to base immediately but make sure you're conscious about your wave management, wave management is the name of the game mid-lane.

You need to wipe out the enemy minion wave, get the rest of your minions that are lingering nearby under the tower so you can reset.

Level 1 let them shove into you. You want them to be crashing the wave under your tower so you can farm it without taking poke from them. Anything with range should be actively attempting to zone you from the wave. At level 2 you should be looking to hold the wave around your tower, level 2 is building up into where the jungles start doing something on the map, if the wave is at your tower you're putting passive pressure on the enemy laner for even being pushed up towards your tower. |

Your goal with
mid isn't just to lane against your laner, you need to be the one oppressing the enemy jungle if that's with your jungle or just by yourself, you need to understand your limits and it's a learning process for sure but there are some games where I've completely taken over games and averaged 12.5 CS per minute from just taking enemy JG farm and my lane.

ADC.

Strong enemy laners
Please refer to the matchup guide below to know what's strong against you.

Start
Level 1 you're going to do absolutely nothing. The strategy against lanes that are stronger than you is that you want the minion wave to be pushing towards you.You can afford to drop a couple of minions if they're completely zoning you under the tower. As long as the wave is pushing towards you. Ideally, you'll start
to mitigate some of their early poking when you're going for the first couple early melee minions, you want to stay healthy preparing for level 2.
|
Level 2 is when you're able to start doing something. You've let the enemy laners push you under the tower, letting them exploit their level 1 advantage, you've lured them into the sense of security.
What most ADC's in this situation who are aiming for early pressure will do is auto you under your tower now, dancing around tower aggro, abusing their superior range on you, let them do it one or two times, you'll heal with
and

and
Don't get cocky just because you've secured an early lead though, this doesn't mean you're in any better position against champions who outrange and kite you. You need to play these lanes slow and calm, what I like to do when the enemy lane will win regardless of it being 1 v 2 or 2 v 2 tells my support to roam.
Once your summoners are back up, tell your support to rotate back bot lane, you can play hyper-aggressive by

Weak enemy laners
Please refer to the matchup guide below to know what's weak against you.
Start
. Level 1 grab the priority of the wave by starting
. Use your frontal legs to the wave and annihilate the first wave's melee minions, don't overextend too far forward by trying to immediately kill the ranged minions or you'll get poked back far more than it's worth, as long as you don't drop below 80% HP for doing this on the first wave you're absolutely fine though. The objective of pushing this first wave is to have a huge priority going into level 2.

Bad lane state

| The reason this lane state is good is that these minions will crash under the enemy tower, you will be making the enemy ADC miss the experience from not being near these minions as well as making them drop the gold from not last hitting them, you can safely recall once your wave is under their tower like this because the minion wave will push back into you. |
If you leave your wave like this the enemy team will freeze the wave there and then it doesn't matter if you're stronger than them or not, minion waves early game do an extremely high amount of damage so you cannot fight them in the middle of it. You will be forced to farm with your mana hungry
and continue to hold their freeze for them, kill those minions and get your wave under their tower. |
