Hello! my name is Balik, and I'm gonna teach you what you need to know about Urgot. Ever since his rework in Season 7, he is not seen too much, and not many people understand what he does, and how big of a threat he can be. When played properly, Urgot has immense fighting power and can make certain champs' laning phase a living hell, transitioning into a godlike mid game and impressive late game. He is incredibly unique and fun to play, and works well in what I believe to be a very stale top-lane meta. I discovered just how cool he is to play once his new kit was released, and have mained him ever since. This guide is developed around what I have personally learned by playing Urgot, and is in no way restrictive or concrete. It is encouraged to do some experimentation on your own through different builds and playstyles to find what works best for you.

Pros

- High sustained damage
- Ranged top laner
- Almost always underestimated
- Tanky with W shield and items
- Good poke during laning phase
- Excellent counter-gank potential
- Guaranteed execute on ult (with a few exceptions)
- Is a ******** crab
- SHOTGUN KNEES

Cons

- Slow and easily kited
- Very large hitbox - gets creep-blocked constantly
- Abilities are very telegraphed
- Lack of build diversity
- Long cooldowns at early levels
- Combos can be easily interfered with

With Urgot, you have two options - GO BIG or GO HOME. Urgot's strength lies within his incredible dueling potential, as he excels in 1v1, 1v2 or potentially even 1v3 situations if you're fed enough. Not many people recognize Urgot as a juggernaut, and try to play against him as if he were still an adc/bruiser/tank/support/inter or whatever the old Urgot was, not realizing that he should be treated similar to Darius or Mordekaiser. Urgot thrives on putting himself among his enemies in order to deal scary amounts of damage and pick off high priority targets. His goal is to try to force fights in order to make himself as much of a threat as possible, and he is capable of punishing his enemies for choosing to focus him, as well as choosing NOT to focus him. In lane, he has the freedom to farm and harass the enemy laner without many repercussions.
