Heimerdinger outranges Urgot every time. Additionally, he's able to constantly poke and threaten you. Even if you rush defensive item he is able to kill you because he can rush Liandry for no punishment. Very annoying lane, try to miss as few creeps as it's possible and scale up. That's the only way to play this matchup.

Champion Build Guide

Introduction

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Very Detailed Urgot Community Guide. I've put a lot of time to make it and it's not finished yet as Matchups Guide and some other aspects are missing. I worked hard to finish this and I can finally say that it's good enough to show it to you. I am aware that isn't the most popular champion but that's the reason why this guide had to be done.

I am Nicram, a writer of this guide, I've collected over 1,36kk mastery points on old and new . On both versions of this champion I've peaked at Challenger (on EUNE but I am glad about it anyways) and I started some time ago my journey on EUW where I am currently sitting on Diamond 3. This is actually my first guide on this site, my apologizes for all the errors or bad formatting - I tried my best to make it look good. I've put all my knowledge about to make this guide so hopefully you'll be able to get something from it.

I think it's enough for this part of the guide so I am happy to officially invite you to this guide! Enjoy 🦀. :)

Summoner Spells

SUMMONER SPELLS
-

FLASH: Almost mandatory for . Definitely the best Summoner Spell because of its use in combos and gap closing ability. Can be used for both defensive and offensive purposes.

TELEPORT: Despite the nerfs in patch 8.14 it's still a viable option for both the Top and Mid lanes. However, the nerfs did allow for other Summoner Spells such as , or . I’ve found that is a much more potent Summoner Spell in mid and late game compared to the others. Although doesn't have as strong Teleport ganks/plays due to his low base movement speed, his CC makes up for this defeceit.

GHOST: Can be taken as a replacement , but due to the versatility of should only be used in niche situations. However, in combination with , it can be a potent Summoner Spell. For offensive purposes you can use it to proc much quicker and maximize damage.

IGNITE: I personally have taken a strong liking towards this Summoner Spell after patch 8.14. 's early game was always decent, however he lacks kill potential on the enemy laner in most matchups. can boost your level 2 and 3 powerspike and provide the opportunity for an early kill. However, taking this summoner spell is definitely a risk - if you attempt an all in and are unsuccessful you won’t have to return to lane, so taking is definitely a risk.

CHALLENGING SMITE: For Jungle, is best with . It makes you a better duelist for a cost of a bit weaker ganks. In my opinion it is the best option for Jungle.

CHILLING SMITE: Taking this Summoner Spell offers a different take on Urgot. The slow creates more successful ganks at the cost of weaker overall damage and dueling potential. If you plan to gank very frequently, then take this smite over red smite.

EXHAUST: An situational replacement. If you feel that will be needed in the early game more than then choose it. It provides not only a damage reduction, but also a slow to stick onto your enemies easier. If you are not planning to be the primary carry or are mainly serving the role of a tank, then is a viable option to take as your Summoner Spell.

HEAL: If you want to play ADC as , then Heal would be a good choice of Summoner Spell. Personally I dislike playing him in this role because of his low auto-attack range, but on the other hand his base armor stat is one of the highest in the game. Because of this, he is technically viable in the ADC role. is a much weaker Summoner Spell outside of botlane though, so I would not recommend taking it in a solo lane.

BARRIER: It shouldn't be your 'to go' Summoner Spell even in midlane but should have a high position in the best summoner spell shards if you go as your keystone.

CLEANSE: Analog situation like with although you can take against some specific midlane matchups like or .

Abilities

✦
's basic attacks and periodically trigger blasts of flame from his legs, dealing physical damage.

✦
Fires an explosive charge at the target location, dealing physical damage and slowing enemies caught in the explosion.

✦
slows himself while he unloads his weapon on nearby enemies. Prioirtizes enemy champions has recently struck with other abilities and triggers .

✦
charges in a direction, shielding himself and trampling non-champion enemies. If he catches an enemy champion, he will stop and hurl them out of his way.

✦
fires a chem-drill that impales the first enemy champion hit. If that champion falls below a health threshold, judges them weak and can execute them.

Runes

Precision

✦
This rune is second best on in this path because other keystones (except of simply aren't as powerful. Use it when you plan to take part in extended fights. works most effectively against tanks and bruisers. Its buff that makes enemies take additional damage after hitting an enemy three times allows you to have good damage for entire game so you'll always be treated as somebody who ends up relevant no matter what. The only bad part of this rune is that when you use 's pseudo autoattacks to proc the third shot reduces the damage it should've dealt but in the post game screen it only shows pre-mitigation damage numbers which could be a little bit misleading - you might think that you dealt 3000 damage with this keystone while in reality this damage was in some percentage influenced by this interaction so you dealt less than 3000 damage. You generally shouldn't take it into ranged matchups because you won't be able to proc it reliably against them. However, if your goal is to survive laning phase and play a farm lane, waiting for later stages of the game, feel free to use it. Remember that when you proc during it deals half of the damage so if it's possible try to proc it with autoattacks instead. Currently it's still a good rune as it deals more damage in early game than but is also less useful on . It's viable but is much better.

✦
This keystone doesn't fit mostly because of the way how works. After using a ordinary combo - into autoattack and you basically lose entire rune page. There are better choices; by taking this keystone you basically make the game more difficult for yourself.

✦
It's a decent rune but I would say it isn't the best choice on . Additonally, heal gets reduced when you use energized autoattack on a minion. This keystone's advantage is that it can be proc'd twice in a quick rotation because of or even more often thanks to the latest changes that received. Can be potentionally hidden strong as Urgot really likes Movement Speed.

✦
Sadly is a ranged champion so he can't utilize this rune as well as melee champions but it's still very good on him. Currently the best keystone for as it increases his damage, makes him better against tanks and works well against squishies too. Additionally, the healing is often teamfight or duel changing. Must have at the moment but if you don't like it, or can work too.

✦
As your main goal is to execute one of your enemies. In theory, a second shield could be beneficial for you but in reality this rune doesn't fit well. You can take it if you plan to get or as it allows you to get the shield. If it's not in your plans - don't take it.

✦
It's definitely the best rune in this row. Yes, in laning phase you play basically without a rune unless you take part in a takedown but it's a scaling rune; its strength increases over time. A extra gold part isn't that impactful but you take it for the heal. It can save your life so make sure to consider taking this rune when you go for .

✦
is a mana hungry champion in the early game but this rune won't help him to solve this problem. Additionally, while is a game-changing ability, it doesn't mean that you need to take it to decrease its cooldown. 's cooldown is already very low in the late game and it should be up twice in a extended teamfight. Decreased cooldown is almost irrelevant at this point. I would say is a better rune.

✦
This rune isn't that good anymore because of the recent change that received. In most of the cases you want to max this ability first nowadays so any attack speed is effectively wasted. Consider taking one of the other two choices in this row, depending on the situation.

✦
Take this rune against heavy CC teamcomps because as you want to attack and you don't want to have many moments when you can't help your team in any way. Probably the best rune out of Legend runes but it all depends on the enemy champions and your playstyle. Remember that when you're stunned you can't shoot with so it's never bad to have some Tenacity.

✦
Lifesteal is not reduced during so when it comes to mid and late game you can sustain pretty well. It's currently one of the better runes on . Thanks to a permanent on fifth rank you can sustain very quickly. If enemies don't have tons of CC, take it instead of .

✦
In the last 3 runes in your choice is either or . Decision is based on the preference. seems superior to as it makes it easier for you to get an enemy under 25% threshold but while it's very useful for this purpose, over 50% of the rune's power is wasted most of the times due to the way how works. Ofcourse, in a extended teamfight works very well as it helps you ensuring that your enemies will die even when your R is on cooldown. Currently it seems to be overshadowed by .

✦
This rune is quite useless on because you want to have a lot of Health because the more health you have the tankier you are thanks to a shield. can be a bit effective against but I would generally recommend to stay away from . Even after tons of buffs it's still not good on . However, it's very effective against him, so be careful when your enemy picked this rune.

✦
Most of the times it's a correct rune in this tree because most of the times you will be fighting as a frontliner, close to the enemy team to pull out as much damage as it's possible. Any additional damage helps and the bonus increases the less health you have making you even more scary. If enemies won't be able to burst you, you will be a big threat to them because of your tankiness and damage. If it doesn't fit you, can be taken instead. Nowadays seems to be a superior rune.

Domination

✦
In theory a good rune but in reality it's heavily outclassed by and in terms of damage and utility. However, if you want to go for primarly, it's the best rune that you can take.

✦
It's a viable rune on a jungle role that can perform. It can significantly improve your ganks thanks to a movement speed boost. is a weak rune for toplane as you need raw damage/utility - or . Additionally, in the top lane you can't utilize this rune as well as you can do it in the mid land so it's a decent good rune if you decide to play him there, allowing you to perform many roams.

✦
It takes too long to scale up, while its damage in late game is high, doesn't work with this rune as well as for example or do. You can't take it in the jungle either because you need either raw damage - or or stronger ganks - / . With you will be basically non existant because you already play as a scaling champion. You shouldn't put yourself in a even bigger disadvantage so I wouldn't recommend taking it.

✦
It can not work well because of the way how works. A weak rune on .

✦
A great rune when your team has good cc and it works well against tanks too. works very well in a combination with this rune as it allows you to consistently proc the true damage every 4 seconds on the target affected by its slow.

✦
Definitely the 'to go' rune if you are new to or if you just want to have some kind of sustain. This rune became a bit better nowadays because you can actually build some Damage items, so the healing power from this rune will be increased.

✦
You proc this rune on whenever you use . You don't even need to hit your enemy with . However, limiting yourself to use this rune only when this skill is available, considering its long cooldown, is rather not optimal. For this reason, I would recommend or instead.

✦
In the top lane you won't experience many ward fights and a increased damage after killing ward isn't powerful enough on . It can be taken though if you don't like .

✦
This rune is currently probably the strongest in this tree, it automatically pings you whenever danger is coming, giving you decent vision and good combat statistics whenever you push. In my opinion it is much better than at the moment.

✦
It's acceptable to take this rune if you're willing to assist your team in takedowns making good value of this rune when stacked. If it's not the case and you prefer splitpushing, choose or instead, depending on your preferences/playstyle.

✦
Since 's abilities have rather weak base damage and this rune's efficiency depends on it heavily, it's not the greatest rune choice for him. Additionally, the true damage part of doesn't really count to the 'damage dealt' rule and you won't be healed that much by executing some tanky member of the enemy team. But anyways, healing is important, can be duel changing and with 's current itemization which contains at least a bit of lifesteal, strenghtening its effect is never a bad option.

✦
Probably the best rune in this tree because as you will be often trying to have at least 1 or 2 items with a active so a decreased cooldown will be definitely helpful.

✦
A great rune if you plan to play with because when it's off cooldown you have a very slow movement speed and will definitely be useful to help you moving around on the map faster. Its advantage is also that it gives flat movement speed bonus, not a percentage which is good as 's base movement speed is only 330. You lose all the movement speed when you get into combat so make sure you use the movement speed boost well.

✦
has a rather low cooldown already so I don't see a point in taking as your rune choice in this tree, especially when you can take or instead.

Sorcery

✦
This rune has fans, 12inchpvpness is one of them but personally I think that it's not a good rune for . I explained why in this link.

✦
Still one of the best keystones on . Its use is pretty simple, 's slow is usually enough to make sure a Comet strikes successfully and as we max , the increased damage and slow increases chance for Comet to hit. In some lanes is crucial mostly because of range problems. Having a possibility to perform well on lane only by relying on hitting feels great. Remember though, that is almost exclusively a early/mid game rune so its efficiency scales drastically in the late game. There is only one minus about this rune - sometimes you have to start a combo with so the rune will miss due to a flip mechanic so you need to be aware of it. The best rune for beginners, it will teach you how important hitting is. After changes and mana changes it's pretty much dead on but can still work.

✦
This keystone is actually pretty good for . It's a niche choice though so you should consider taking it only against champions who have really strong slows, for example or . 's base movement speed and movement speed during is rather low so the movement speed you gain from this rune isn't as impactful as it is on some faster champions but it's definitely worth considering it. isn't a self slow but during it you just have reduced base movement speed. This means that if you proc when this ability is active you can get a pretty significant movement speed buff which can be really useful. Overall - it's a good rune, it's just slightly weaker than other runes that players tend to go often and it's more situational.

✦
Also a niche rune, take it if enemy team has a lot of mages and when you feel that is not necessary. You can take it even when there are only 2 magic damage champions in the enemy team.

✦
It's a great rune that effectively solves mana problems. Its advantage is that you can get stacks also by autoattacking an enemy directly with . You won't be awarded with a stack if you hit an enemy by the cone splash damage part though. Take it when you experience a mana management difficulties.

✦
Sometimes you feel that if you had just slightly more movement speed you would be able to finish the enemy. This rune can fix this problem whenever you use . Take it if you are a fan of this rune, personally I think it's a strong rune but I prefer anyways.

✦
After a change in patch 8.12 I stopped taking so took its place. Remember that you're playing without a rune until you hit level 10th so make sure not to fall behind in exp/gold so you can use the 's statistics well. Overcapping CDR with this rune is actually beneficial too so you don't have to worry about it. Remember though, that even though extra AD for overcapping CDR is not big so you shouldn't build only CDR items because sometimes you'll need a item like which doesn't give CDR.

✦
While suffers from his low mobility and low base movement speed, won't solve this problem as it only gives 5 movement speed. There's a really low chance that this amount will ever help you significantly. It's still good for some certain matchups when you need extra mobility such as or to dodge their spells pr to run away from them.

✦
A good rune if you want to dominate the lane, you can take it into easy lanes and in the mid lane for the extra damage. Don't take it into difficult matchups, especially those with a good poke because you might be under 70% Health for a long time.

✦
Very bad in its current state, outclasses it massively. It's only okay in the mid lane when you can threat the enemy with your poke. I don't recommend taking it in the Toplane.

✦
It's good to have it in the Jungle but outside of it I wouldn't pick it in the solo lane.

✦
This rune should be taken when you want to scale hard. It's now a better choice than because doesn't have a really low cooldown abilities anymore and they cost too much mana to make some good use of . Additionally, his every ability scales with AD so you can keep your damage high while being really tanky. That's why is a correct choice in this tree.

Resolve

✦
Personally I don't see a good reason to pick over or other keystones. Its efficiency is reduced on ranged champions which makes its damage and heal and health gained per stack are much worse. On top of that, even if it's supposed to be a good keystone against tanks (because of easy stacks), outclasses it heavily not only in early game but it's also much better in the late game because increased damage boost for your allies is a lot better than a small Health bonus. also works better against tanks and deals more damage than . If it fits you, you can take it though because as stated at the start - runes choice is based on preference.

✦
This keystone is a very good choice on . Take it in a situation when your team lacks a real tank and you need to be the one who does this role. It works well against bruisers like or because you can answer their engages with a heavy defense boost. Keep in mind though, that its cooldown is fairly high so you won't have it available for their every engage. A rune procs not only when you successfully hit but also during reeling or upon releasing a AoE fear by . It's definitely a good idea to play with .

✦
You can technically take it if you want to perform a supportive role. It's a okay choice for this purpose, but I think, I wouldn't take it in a ranked game though.

✦
A great rune for splitpushing, it scales very well into late game thanks to the same %Health scaling that has, so calculating its damage is very simple. Other defensive runes listed below are currently better though because of their usefulness in trades. Additionally, 's low movement speed make it more punishing to proc this rune as enemies can easily gank and potentially kill you.

✦
Another supportive rune, take it if you are a fan of this playstyle. For standard playstyle it's a rather weak rune but as long as you are active and present in big teamfights when 's efficiency is the highest.

✦
In theory a great rune for , however, with the shield changes, doesn't have a access to shield that often. It could be a great rune for him but it's currently outclassed by other choices.

✦
A rune that you can take into tank matchups and farm lanes to have even better mid and late game. As you usually should prefer Health over resistances but by taking you can actually focus on having a lot of Health but your resistances will be really high making you a really tough pain to deal with.

✦
Take this rune against poke champions such as , or . It will definitely help you to survive laning phase as outside of it it's just not as good.

✦
Take this rune against lane bullies like , or who mainly use their abilities in a quick succession to increase their burst. By having you can reduce a lot of damage so it's definitely a good choice to have it.

✦
Take this rune against tanks. Its numbers won't be massive until mid/late game but at one point you will be able to feel the difference. It's a highly underrated rune because a and combination is just more popular but you take these runes for other purposes. If the risk of dying during laning phase is rather low, will be a great choice.

✦
Take this rune when you have some healing/shielding support in your team, for example or . It makes their job even more impactful and your shield is stronger too. A good choice but surely a very situational one.

✦
A weak rune, as having a summoner spell or spells on cooldown isn't a ideal sitation as you should make as much pressure as it is possible. The tenacity it gives isn't as good as 's in this aspect. In my opinion there are many better runes than .

Inspiration

✦
A really niche keystone, it works very well against because you can increase the distance between each other by just enough to escape him. If you decide to try out this rune make sure to buy and/or to make work of the aoe slow field. You can also take it when you are premade with jungler and you want to ruin enemy toplaner's day. Keep in mind that slow is reduced on ranged champions but it's still a good rune on .

✦
Many patches ago was nerfed a lot for ranged champions and on top of that has low autoattack range and he doesn't have really low cooldown abilities. Summing it up - it's a weak rune for our 6-legged Juggernaut.

✦
A very interesting keystone, it allows you to adapt to a specific situation. uses a vast majority of summoner spells very well so a chance to use such a variety of summoner spells in one game sounds great, no?. There is not a one key that you have to follow blindly about against what matchups you should take it. I would recommend to play a couple of games by yourself on a normal game to get used to this rune. This will give you a better understanding on when and vs who to pick . It can be taken against matchups when and other popular runes won't do much. It can happen against because you won't poke him out of lane but 1v1'ing him doesn't really make sense either. in this case will give you a strong mid and late game. It's defintely a strong rune that is often overlooked despite being quite strong.

✦
It doesn't work well on . There are better choices.

✦
A inability to buy boots until 10th minute (this number can decrease if you take part in takedown) can be very punishing, especially because needs early boots, at least the most basic ones - . I am pretty sure that a additional 10 movement speed and free boots can be awarded a bit too late because you become very vulnerable to ganks. If it doesn't happen - this rune is great, if it does - well, there will be a problem.

✦
Great rune on , there is one trick with this item that will be listed a bit later which makes the rune be very efficient if used correctly. On top of a free you pay reduced gold amount for and and their cooldown is decreased. It's definitely one of the best runes that you can get.

✦
Good rune for as long as you don't stay on negative gold for a majority of game. doesn't have some big item spikes that other champions have but he definitely wants to have items as quick as possible so this is a great rune for this purpose.

✦
A rune made to help us with pushing and controlling waves, it's pretty good, for example with 3 uses on a ranged creep you can kill them all on one use. I like to take it into so I can stop his pushing sometimes faster than he expects. deals %Health damage already with so I would say 2 (melee creeps) / 1 (canon) / 3 (ranged creeps) is the best way to seperate these uses for the best effect.

✦
You can take this rune when you play into a difficult matchup but you really wanted to have . Ofcourse, you can pair with and vice-versa but is a great tool to help you with in-lane sustain control.

✦
As you benefit from every statistic it gives, it's simple and it's very effective. Definitely worth a recommendation.

✦
Use this rune when you plan to buy as it basically gives you permanent movement speed towards slowed targets. It works also when moving towards allies under slow effect so you can help them a bit faster. Pretty good rune as the movement speed boost is definitely noticeable.

✦
Another defensive-based rune, take it into difficult matchups. Also a very good choice as movement speed helps even in the laning phase because works with even better and makes you a really tough enemy to push out of lane.

Items

Starter Items

CORRUPTING POTION: This item is currently the best for because of the mana problems that our 6-legged Juggernaut struggles with. It allows argot to harass early on in the game, and regenerate both the mana and health that he will lose while going for these trades. One aspect of this item that is usually overlooked is the bonus burn damage applied on auto attacks while the potion is ticking, so if possible look for trades while one is ticking to maximize damage output. The only disadvantage of this item is that it doesn't give Attack Damage or it doesn't give bonus damage to monsters which gives, so when all three charges are consumed you effectively have no items. 's low base Attack Damage makes last hitting hard already, so if you usually start take the change in last hitting into effect.

DORAN'S SHIELD: Another great starting item for Urgot, however this item is more more dependent on your laning counterpart. is most effective into ranged champions or pseudo-ranged champions such as or , however it can be very effective into melee matchups as well. The additional damage to minions this item grants can help with last hitting, allowing you to farming using your auto attacks and save your abilities for trading with the enemy laner. When starting , try to avoid extended trades because it not only takes a large toll on your mana pool, but also negates some of the HP regeneration of the item; the more damage you take in a single trade, the less impactful the 20HP regeneration is for your HP sustain.

CULL: is a great starting item choice when playing against tank champions or into lanes where you are not under kill pressure from your enemy. It gives your auto attacks' extra damage, and by the time you cash out and sell the Cull you profit 180 gold. This gold influx creates a much stronger mid game powerspike, an area in which Urgot already excels at. It also has strong synergy with . This ability hits 13 times, and with the 3HP per hit regeneration this ability results in a total 39 Health restored per cast. However, starting Cull in lanes where the enemy has kill pressure on you is very greedy because it does not provide the safety the a Dorans item or does. For example, into matchups such as , or the sustain of a Cull will not match the sustain of your enemy laner, and disrespecting their damage can result in you sacrificing a large wave to the tower while resetting or even your death. It can definitely be purchased on your first back in combination with the other items mentioned here, which will slightly delay your powerspike but allow you to survive oppressive lanes.

DORAN'S BLADE: is worse than in terms of healing and attack damage, mainly due to the aforementioned synergy between and , but is still a viable starting item. It is most effective when combined with the rune because the comet damage scales off of Attack Damage, and offers more bonus AD than does. If you decide to start this item, try to invest heavily in early auto attack trades to maximize the benefit from its bonus AD. However, the reason why this item is generally not bought as a starting item is because its main benefit is its previously mentions synergy with , a rune mostly taken into ranged champions for extra poke from the ’s passive. However, into ranged champions they usually will poke you out of lane or zone you from the creep wave, making a more defensive starting item more effective. Although on paper the stats sound fine, I personally only take it in very niche matchups or situations.

First Back Items

CONTROL WARD: is not really a mobile champion, he's slow and because of the fact that you push even if you sometimes don't want to, you need to buy in early game for safety but remember about buying it later too. Whenever you have place buy at least one to have good vision control and to help your team. If this item is well used it's definitely the best in the game because of its utility and usefulness.

BOOTS OF SPEED: One of ’s main weaknesses is his low base movement speed (MS). To help dodge, position, and escape, MS is a critical stat to have, so boots are a very helpful item to buy on your first back. ’s juggernaut nature makes it so that the longer you can stick onto your enemies, the more damage you are able to pump out. Even tier 1 boots are incredibly helpful and allow you to land more abilities, deal more damage, and escape potential bad situations such as ganks more reliably.

NINJA TABI: I prefer to grab tier 2 boots relatively early, just to compensate for ’s lower than average MS. are a must buy when laying against autoattack (AA) based champions (such as , , , etc). It is also a good idea to buy Tabi if the main source of damage from the enemy team is from AA based champions, even if you are not laning against one. Overall, tier two boots early are a great investment to make up for lack of mobility and juggernaut nature.

MERCURY'S TREADS: These are the best choice of tier 2 boots when laning against AP laners (such as , , , etc.) or against high CC team compositions. Tenacity in League of Legends is such a rare statistic, and can definitely catch high CC comps off guard. Ideally, your choice of boot upgrade should depend on enemy's entire team as opposed to your laner in specific. However, in some situations you may be forced to build for your laner to survive laning phase. Use your best judgment, and always try to adapt to the specific game and avoid playing with one build every single game.

PHAGE: is almost always a must-buy when playing or any other bruiser/juggernaut type of champion. Phage essentially gives you a little bit of everything needed to get started. Even though the extra MS is halved due to the fact that you are a ranged champion, it provides you with a decent amount of AD, a larger HP pool, and a passive MS boost to stick to your target. If building into , which should be the case almost 100% of the time, you should prioritize the component over the component. should be purchased as your first item after boots almost every game.

SPECTRE'S COWL: Buy a early when laning against a mage or other strong AP laner; its stats and passive are extremely effective against these laners, and the item almost guarantees a very healthy and non-threatening laning phase after picking one up. You can convert this sustainability into both a gold and experience lead against your enemy.

GLACIAL SHROUD: If you plan on building into a , I’d recommend initially buying a over a against AD laners. If facing an AP laner, is not an effective item but if you find it necessary start with a . Overall is a great item on because the mana that it provides gives you mana sustain without having to start .

JAURIM'S FIST: If building into , it is generally better to build the component first. During lane phase, if you plan to build it is best to simply buy the component and delay upgrading the item until your other core items are complete. I personally only prefer to build before finishing my when playing Urgot jungle, because the passive slow leads to more effective ganks.

BRAMBLE VEST: is a very viable item on , however it is mainly a matchup-specific purchase. Although the reflected magic damage when auto attacked is nice, the main reason you should purchase this item is for it’s application of grievous wounds to enemies who auto attack you. For those unfamiliar with the grievous wounds debuff, it reduces all sources of healing by those affected by 40%. Because of this, it is a must-buy against high sustain lane counterparts such as , , or . It is worth noting that it is not needed as a first back purchase, but should be bought when the enemy’s healing becomes unmanageable. However, is still an effective item on so don't be afraid to buy it in casual AD matchups as well, especially if the enemy jungle is AD as well.

EXECUTIONER'S CALLING: A similar item to but applies grievous wounds more reliably because it does not require enemies to auto-attack you to reduce their healing. It is most efficient into or , because Vladimir does not need to auto attack you to trade and Dr. Mundo can use his ultimate while running away to negate your kill pressure. Because of these facts, will not reduce their healing while will apply grievous wounds upon any physical damage you inflict on your enemy. Similarly to it is not necessarily needed as your first back purchase.

Situational Defensive Items

THORNMAIL: Although many guides will tell you that should be bought later on in your build, I personally disagree with this fact. Against AD heavy compositions, I often purchase this item after my tier 2 boots and . My reasoning behind this is because its components alone are potent armor items which leads to a much smoother transition to the midgame. Obviously, I would not purchase this item against an AP laner and would prioritize it much higher against a laner with relevant sustain. Another benefit of this item is the reflected magic damage that it grants as a passive effective, which can help against enemies who have purchased armor. Although the damage from this passive is not insanely large, it is definitely noticeable and makes itemizing against you much more difficult.

ADAPTIVE HELM: One of the most underrated items in the game currently and the best magic resist item for . is incredibly strong against AP laners, specifically ones that often spam poke abilities. In some cases, I actually buy this item before buying . If buying does not give you kill pressure in a lane, it is more important to purchase defensive stats for survivability. A few examples in which I would prioritize would be against laners such as , , and . won't grant me kill pressure against them due to ’s sustain from and his , ’s shield and movement speed from , or ’s movement speed from . These champions also repetitively poke you with the same abilities: ’s , ’s , and ’s effect on his auto attacks. This makes the 20% damage reduction from ’s passive extremely effective at negating their poke damage. When laning against , I prioritize simply because her damage becomes actually irrelevant against me once the item is completed. To summarize, only rush over in very specific matchups; if you can't kill them, make it so they can’t kill you either.

RANDUIN'S OMEN: This is the most effective armor item in the game against crit based champions like , , and the return of crit based ADC’s. In particularly oppressive lanes such as and I often buy this after my tier 2 boots and . It scales very well into late game, especially with the active slow ability on the item. However, with items such as and the ever-increasing sources of true damage being introduced in the game, is not as efficient as it was in previous seasons.

RIGHTEOUS GLORY: Although it used to be a core item for , as the meta evolves the frequency in which I find myself buying this item has reduced drastically. The reasoning for this is actually quite simple: ideally should not be the teams source of engage. However, is a great item to buy if your team composition lacks a source of engage and you must fulfill this role. Without , you would be forced to use to start an engagement or skirmish.

SPIRIT VISAGE: It can work as a replacement for , I usually buy it if I took the rune to boost my team fight sustain. Although, doesn't have a healing ability in his kit, it's still worth mentioning this item. It also offers an additional 100HP compared to , so if the passive of Adaptive helm is not needed due to a lack of Damage over time abilities or mages with very low cooldown abilities and you need health and MR, it can be bought as an alternative.

GARGOYLE STONEPLATE: This item is highly underrated on . The raw stats of provide a decent amount of defenses, and it provides both armor and magic resist. Our juggernaut's main role in team fights is to execute an enemy and proc his CC, and this item’s active ability allows to temporary double his effective HP for 4 seconds. This active also reduces your damage output by 60% during this time, however this debuff is mostly irrelevant on . This is because, as stated previously, your job in a team fight is to successfully execute an enemy and apply the AOE CC with your . It is your teammate’s job to damage the enemy hit by your ultimate and allow you to reactive your ultimate and execute the enemy. Additionally, during the actual execution of you cannot cast abilities or auto attack; you can only reposition. This animation takes approximately 1.5 seconds, meaning that the 4 seconds damage debuff from is only impactful for 2.5 seconds. All in all, this is an extremely good item on and when combined with the rune rune in the path, the reduced cooldown of the item active makes it available basically every time your ultimate is off of cooldown.

ZZ'ROT PORTAL: It's a decent item on and is mostly used in a defensive fashion to defend base or ability to pressure to a specific lane. However, many people overlook the offensive power of this item and its ability to kill turrets more effectively. Although this item has defensive stats it is most efficiently used in an offensive fashion. If your team comp lacks a strong sieging tool or wants to increase the amount of pressure you exert on the map, this item is definitely worth the purchase.

WARMOG'S ARMOR: A good item to buy on because of the large amount of health and health regeneration that it provides, however I would not recommend buying this item without first purchasing resistances of some sort. This is because without resistances and the abundance of %HP damage sources in the game, you will die quite easily despite the large health pool it gives you. This item is best as a 3rd or 4th item purchase, because by that point in the game you will likely have enough health to activate the Warmog's Heart passive HP regeneration effect, allowing you to pressure objectives after dangerous team fights and granting your team a much stronger Baron turn potential.

LOCKET OF THE IRON SOLARI: A supportive item, it's not as great as it used to be but if you fall behind in lane and want to be a second support or add an extra source of protection for you carries, it is definitely a viable item that offers decent resistances.

DEAD MAN'S PLATE: is a very slow champion, and because of this additional movement speed helps him significantly. This item works the best if you use the rune and you have on cooldown, allowing you to group with your team or rotate around the map much faster. The additional movement speed that grants you a plethora of benefits; from avoiding ganks, out rotating your enemies, joining a fight before your enemy later can, the benefits of movement speed are plentiful. It is worth noting, however, that this item is highly gold inefficient without taking into account the movement speed passive, so proper utilization of this passive is a necessity. If you game extends to ~1 hour you can sell boots and buy or if enemy ad champions deal majority of their damage through abilities, not autoattacks. That's because help a lot with dealing with autoattack based champions and if enemy team lacks them you can just replace them with one of the recently mentioned items. A lost of movement speed won't be that noticable as they grant situational movement speed.

ICEBORN GAUNTLET: It's a rather weak item for simply because after early game mana is rarely an issue. Besides the cool down reduction, this item provides very little useful stats. On top of that has low base attack damage so the additional damage from the item’s on-hit bonus damage isn't significant. Although the AOE slow is nice, because this is the only significant benefit of this item it is not worth the gold to purchase it.

GUARDIAN ANGEL: This item is both an offensive and defensive item, granting both attack damage and armor. This item's bread and butter is its passive, which is mainly used as a defensive tool. It's great if you're snowballing because you can go deep into enemy lines during a teamfight without having to worry about dying. The rune has strong synergy with this item, reducing the cool down of the passive revival effect.

Situational Damage Items

THE BLACK CLEAVER: is the fundamental core of all builds. The only situation in which you should not buy is either when the enemy team has no champions that can stack armor, you are snowballing, or situationally in midlane. In these rare situation it is acceptable to purchase a instead. However, I always purchase this item after I finish my tier 2 boots as it provides every stat that needs and has strong synergy with his ability. In rare cases it can be delayed to a third item, but this is only in lanes where you have to prioritize the defensive stats of in order to survive the lane. I have elaborated on this topic in the section of this guide, but I only delay my purchase against strong AP lanes such as Rumble, Teemo, and Vladimir. Against strong AD matchups it's better to still rush along with either a , or .

FROZEN MALLET: The viability of this item is heavily debated among high Elo players. Prior to the changes making the item melee only, was not viable on because was the better item and provided the HP and AD bruiser stats that needs. However, because is melee-only now is a viable bruiser item for . Many mains believe it is not gold efficient because it is mainly purchased for its stats due to ’s passive slow reduction on ranged champions. The slow effect does however have decent synergy with the rune, so experiment yourself to find your own personal opinion on this items efficiency in your build.

DEATH'S DANCE: deals primarily physical damage, which makes the passive of very efficient on our juggernaut. However, the offensive components of this item leave you without both resistances and health. On the other hand, once the item is completed ’s passive grants great sustain from the life steal. Combined with its strong offensive stats, this makes one of the best offensive items on .

MAW OF MALMORTIUS: This item is often picked up if playing in the mid lane, because it offers a more offensive route to magic resistance in his build. It's very matchup dependant though, and is most effective against bursty mages.

TRINITY FORCE: Although it offers good stats, this item is most effective for midlane. Although many previous users have been trending towards recently, on it is not as effect compared to other bruiser. This is due to the fact that attack speed is not an important stat for , and the sheen damage is mediocre due to his low base AD. Because of this, in most cases is the better item for , especially in the top lane, you can build it in the mid lane though because enemies there are much more squiqshy.

YOUMUU'S GHOSTBLADE: This item can be purchased over due to lethality’s strong synergy with AD casters such as Urgot. Although it’s comments are all ’s and offer no defensive stats, you can always purchase a item for some defensive stats before finishing the item. Although it is not a staple of most builds, it is a viable damage item choice.

EDGE OF NIGHT: A and combo can be an efficient way to create almost unstoppable initation, however this is much more of a “cheese’ strategy. However, if your team composition lacks engage you can catch enemies and look for a successful flip by to create a pick. If you don't plan to build though, I would recommend to stay away from this item. Even though its statistics may seem good on , they are still highly inefficient and the item active is not worth the gold.

LORD DOMINIK'S REGARDS: This item can work as either a replacement for or a supplement to it. The item’s armor penetration, especially after recent buffs, can help decently in trades against tanks. Essentially these items together will change any tank into a killable champion. I would only usually buy this item against an enemy team comp with 2 armors stacking true tanks.

MORTAL REMINDER: I wouldn't recommend to upgrade into until last item, because it is usually the role of the marksman to buy and apply the Grievous Wounds healing debut against high sustain enemies. However, if you don't have a Marksman or you needed Grevious Wounds in earlier in the game, make sure to upgrade it in late game to increase your damagee.

Elixirs

ELIXIR OF WRATH: In a vast majority of games the correct Elixir to buy on is , but in some cases other elixir’s are viable. For example, when you have either a or , ’s healing increase makes this a viable buy. This logic also applies when your team has a heavy healing support.

ELIXIR OF IRON: As stated previously, it is the best Elixir for due to the versality it provides, Although the health is nice, but the main reason why it's bought is because of the Tenacity it gives and the small movement speed path which appears behind you, making your engages more successful.

ELIXIR OF SORCERY: Even though it may seem ridiculous to buy on a champion with no AP scalings, is actually somewhat viable on him because of the way interacts with turrets. On-hit effects are reduced to 33% but since it gives true damage, its damage is not reduced. I would only buy this elixir if I was strictly split pushing however, because the 325 damage to turrets on every cast drastically increases your ability to take down towers.

Full Build Examples

's very flexible in terms of his build options. He can play like a second support, like a tank, bruiser, assassin and probably many more. In this part of the guide I will mention just a couple of the builds you can use against specific team compositions or in specific playstyles.

Generally, is almost a must have item. However, it's not always needed to buy it as a first item. Keep it in mind and if you want to have some defense or an item like it's completely okay to build it later. I mention this because this item will be present in each of these example builds.

The most common build for is:

, or , or , , or , . Finished with either of these elixirs: or .

And there's nothing wrong with this build, you have a lot of damage while being tanky.

I'll list some builds that you can use if enemies are full AD, full AP or in case you want to be a splitpusher or teamfighter.

Against full AD you should be looking for these items:

, , , (if they have crit) or , , or .

With this build you have a lot of Armor and Health but you should be dealing good damage with 2 AD items.

Against full AP you should be looking for these items:

, , , , , or .

The possibility to meet 4/5 mages in one game is almost 0 but when it happens these items should give you a lot of tankiness.

Team Work

is very multi-dimensional in his play style, which you can use to your advantage. His role can vary from a splitpusher, warden, teamfighter or whatever role he needs to fill. However, despite his ability to play such a large variety of roles, isn't the BEST champion at any particular play-style. There will always be another champion who lacks the diversity that does, but can fill niche roles to complete certain team compositions. Don’t let this dissuade you from playing though, because his multi-dimensional play-style doesn’t confine him into a specific play-pattern

• As a splitpusher, you won't kill turrets faster than , or but can clear waves faster than them even though he can't purchase . If you decide to be a split pusher, then , and 's buffs are very helpful. You don't have to get if you would rather take a more defensive rune, but it helps a lot if you plan on strictly split pushing. Although at first glance, seems to be an inefficient item on , with it you deal 25 true damage to turrets when you cast W. Urgot's W hits 12 times so the damage is pretty good. Yes, sadly Urgot doesn't have AP scalings but it still outscales in terms of damage to turrets which is your goal as a split pusher. The same concept applies with 's buff.

• If this playstyle doesn't fit you, you can be a Warden or a second Support in your team. There aren't many supportive items that are good on because of ranged champions limits but and/or are definitely viable. For this playstyle you generally want to be with your team, you want to flip enemies away from your carries with and just be somewhat useful. This is often my strategy when I have a bad game, when I feed and when my carries are fed and I feel that they can carry. By helping them to survive I actually cleanse my sins of feeding and I try to help team to achieve victory.

• An teamfighter. is excellent in grouped fights as long as he is able to execute someone from the enemy team. You should generally build more tanky than usual in order to be able survive until your are able to complete the execution from your ultimate and subsequent fear. The aoe fear combined with some tricks that I will explain later can allow you to completely take control of a teamfight. I won't mention every defensive tank item, but one that I find especially efficient is . The survivability that this item provides alone is usually enough to survive long enough to get the fear off before dying.

• An initiator. If your team doesn't have a reliable engage tool you need to be the one who's gonna do it. Items like , or significantly help you achieve this goal. Additionally you can use during to extend dash range. Initiating with isn't the best idea most of the times because it's easily predictable after the first time enemies fall into the trick.

Skill Sequence

Urgot Top Lane and Jungle

> > >

Although these two rune pages are quite similar at first glance, after level 6 you have many choices on how to spread skills into abilities. For Top Lane and Jungle you want to get on first level because of its versality:

• it allows you to shield some of the early game poke in Top Lane
• it gives overall the most damage out of all 's basic abilities in combination with Urgot’s shotgun knee’s passive
• It makes your first camp clear very fast (Jungle) or allows you to give your jungler the best pull of all Top Lane champions
• if needed you can just shove lans at level one and then wait for wave to crush under the turret so next waves push into you
• with on level one you can win 1v1 against basically anyone as long as they don't have a combat Summoner Spell advantage and you remember about using Potions if they want to fight you.

On second level you should take almost always, unless you play vs Ranged champion and/or you have and/or . That's because if you take at second level you can poke enemies and get stacks more reliably. Another point to take into account is that ranged matchups aren't very popular in the Top Lane so isn't the best choice there so for most of the times you should take second instead. Why?

• it has 35 more base damage than at rank 1 of the ability
• despite 20% lower attack damage ratio it is still just better because Urgot's base AD is low so this diffrrence is very minimal in the early lane phase
• an extra mobility allows you to increase your chances of escaping from a enemy jungler's level 3 gank
• allows you to play more offensively and allows you to win most of the level 2 all-ins
• allows you to have a better gank setup if your jungler wants to do a early gank for you.

Finally, I will explain why I usually level last. Its mana cost on the first level of the ability is just too big for how small it gives. However, leveling is amazing because the mana cost does not increase but damage and slow's strength goes up by a lot. A difference between a rank 1 and 3 is massive so I just prefer to wait a bit with leveling it up. After these initial levels, the skill sequence is pretty standard; level up whenever possible, max , then and lastly .

Urgot Mid Lane

> > >

This skill sequence is much better when you play with because you've got an access to the ranged poke that you can use to eventually kill the enemy. is also much better with this setup as you can easily get the stacks for hitting 's constantly on the enemy. Afterwards it's the same as in previous skill order, you continue maxing whenever it's possible, followed by , then and lastly .

Urgot Top Lane Situational with Press the Attack

> > >

This skill sequence allows you to have better tankiness which help in some bruiser duels and it's good into tanks as you can't poke them to death most of the times. I stop maxing on third rank because first rank of is too bad to leave it at first rank until level 10th. That's why at levels 7-10 I max and then I finish leveling at levels 12 and 13. You learn whenever you can as usual and is the last ability you want to max.

Tips and tricks

You can use during 's animation in order to increase its range.

A well timed is able to interrupt non unstoppable jumps.

video

A correctly timed allows to continue the dash even during a stun. However, there is an exception and it won't allow to continue the dash when he gets suppressed during the effect.

video

's slow percentage is based on enemy's health.
It's 0% slow for an target's 0% missing health, 15% slow for an target's 15% missing health, 25% slow for an target's 25% missing health and so on up to 75% slow = 75% target's missing health.

It is possible to use E>Q combo in the way that hits an enemy while he is still stunned by in order to guarrantee to hit and to decrease enemy's chances of escaping or dodging to zero, otherwise enemy has chances to escape. Keep in mind though that if your enemy has Tenacity the window to guarrantee to hit while he's stunned decreases.

I agree, it's not really practical but it's for sure a fun interaction, can definitely help sometimes, for example when you're almost dead but you continue killing enemies and you just wait for your cooldowns.

is a great tool to kill wards very quickly. Keep in mind that you can use autoattack before you use W to kill it even faster. However, when you play against Urgot remember to not use ward under him because 's won't focus wards unless it has nothing else to attack.

can freely move (for as long as he's not hard CC'ed) while channeling his ultimate except during the initial cast time when he fires drill.

The target will die regardless of their current health once the second cast's chains hit, even if they are healed by 's (which can affect untargetable allies) or if they have a shield that persists the duration of the channel that places them above the health threshold.

's model is massive, however his legs don't really count that much to his hitbox so sometimes even when it seems like you are going to get hit by something, you ultimately won't because of this interaction.

is a great way to check if enemy invisible champion is hiding in a bush. After using you won't reveal them if you flip the target back to the bush but if you flip the target out of bush it will reveal them.

Using against Scuttle Crab decreases her Armor and Magic Resist by 50. In other words when you want to kill Scuttle Crab, always (if you are aware of enemy team's position) start attacking her by using .

video

Urgot's reactivation of ult is global so you can for example use ult on enemy who decided to use ult even though he had only 40% Health (use it right before he teleports there to increase chance of the following) - Since he ulted to defend somoene, there's a chance that your allies will get him below 25% Health and you'll be able to bring him back from across the map to your belly. The same thought process comes to a Teleport play too, although it happens more rarely since you generally don't want to use it when you're on low hp. In a video example I just showed how it looks like when target is already below 25% Health.

video

's hitbox can make it easier to increase distance between you and monsters.

video

can deactivate early to stop firing 3 times per second and to stop a movement speed debuff but keep shield. It's important to remember about this trick because as you can see even GAM Archie forgot or didn't know about this in game at 2017 Worlds and this could follow into his death but luckily for him he escaped. I couldn't set a video below to start at desired time so I'll just say that gank happened at 0:30 and and lasted til 0:37.

actually attacks 13, not 12 times. I am not sure if it's a bug or not because its description says that it attacks 3 times per second and it lasts for 4 seconds so in theory it should be 12 attacks but in reality it is 13. You can realize it by watching a video below in 0,25 speed. starts attacking with right arm and he finishes with right arm.

executes enemy champions and it doesn't leave target's body on the map. This means that if executed target has rune which normally works just fine even when user is dead and ally who takes damage and who stands on the dead target's body will get shield and movement speed. However, in 's case it doesn't work like that. As you can see in a clip below, loses the ability to proc . Very situational, often really not useful but in my opinion it's good to know this mechanic.

video

During reeling can normally only use so if you want to reposition use before you click for the second time. However, if you use for the second time and then immediately use or you will be able to use these both abilities despite being normally locked out of being able to do it for a cost of a delayed reel process.

video

In a 1v1 scenario when you use on someone who is very close to you the animation puts their body away instead of reeling them from the body's postion. This is because a reel speed is always the same despite the range betweeen you and the target. That's why sometimes when you fight 1v1 against someone and you hit first cast of and you are able to reactivate it, target's body will be teleported/pushed away from you.

's first cast can not kill a enemy even if you play full AD and have third rank on R and you use it on a squishy target with 5 hp. It wont kill a target because it's designed in that way to allow Urgot to use a aoe fear. Personally I think this interaction has both positive and negative aspects. For instance positive - you can turnaround a teamfight with a aoe fear, while negative is that you can die during reeling and the target ultimately won't die. Proof video:

video

's second cast doesn't stop enemy champion's actions when they are being drilled to 's belly. There is sometimes a risk, that you will die to for example who uses during the reel animation or to and his if your Health is too low.

You can laugh during . It doesn't affect gameplay at all. It's just a visual change.

video

This combo doesn't seem very useful but sometimes if you are certain that the champion that you want to use this combo on has and their mobility abilites on cooldown you can use it to put them into the place you wanted them to be. It can be useful if you're in this position that is showed in the video and enemy threw his lantern in front of you. By doing this trick you will make sure that his ally won't touch the . It's situational but worth mentioning.

video

works very well even in cases when there are multiple enemies bodyblocking your desired target. It requires some knowledge to hit the target you want to hit though.

video

Be aware of the bug - when you and immediately use any skillshot abiility, the ability will be fired into location where you used from. It's a interaction for every champion in the game but I list it because of how impactful is. To solve this problem just move a little and then use R.

video

When your attack speed is decreased, it's optimal to use instead of continuing autoattacking. With turned on your attack speed is 3.0 no matter what. That's more important in the early game as later on you'll have access to any time.

Farming and wave management

's shotgun knees make it a little bit more difficult to correctly manage the waves but as long as you keep track of the cool downs on which legs you have used you should be fine.
In most cases, your opponent will also use an ability that pushes the wave in return which nullifies this issue. is vulnerable to ganks so unless you have a powerful enough advantage/lead over enemies that you will be able to escape a potential gank or even turn it around or you are aware of enemy jungler's location, you shouldn't push the lane. Personally I like to shove the first two waves as soon as it's possible because in this period of time: 1:50-2:40 a possibility of getting ganked is high but not as high as it is in a ~2:41-3:30 period of time. Ofcourse, these timings aren't static.

Against junglers like , or who have a very fast jungle clear and tend to gank at level 2 or 3, you should ward as soon as you killed first wave because they'll be already on their way for a gank and you don't want them to get a early lead.

Against more traditional junglers such as , or you can wait until you slay second wave because they will probably do a 3/4 camp clear which will delay their first gank timer.

Against tank and farm junglers you don't even have to buy most of the times because they will either focus on just powerfarming or if they decide to gank they will lack enough damage to kill you (tanks). I talk here about champions such as , , and tanks like - or . Against them you need to use your Trinkets as you do usual but since the danger is slightly lower you can use your trinket on a lane bush sometimes too, vs specific matchups.

Urgot's R interactions

► Guardian Angel - doesn't execute an enemy who has with its passive available but you can grab their body deep towards your team which probably means that they will die anyways but after a slight delay caused by this item.

video

► Quicksilver Sash - this item completely cancels the second part of when it's used during reeling but it still drags you close to . You can do something like and use after using to reposition. It doesn't remove the drill though.

video

► Stopwatch and Zhonya's Hourglass - Both these items put a champion in Stasis so if timed well, both can cancel 's Ultimate.

video

► Mikael's Blessing - This item can not save neither ally or yourself when you play vs . That's because when you're getting reeled in by him, you become untargetable which means you can't use it on your ally nor use it on yourself.

► Akali's Twilight Shroud - This ability won't save from the chains.

video

► Alistar's Unbreakable Will - is able to free himself from getting reeled to 's belly. He just has to use during reel process.

video

► Anivia's Rebirth - If you use on who has her passive ready you will reel her in but you won't execute her and aoe fear won't be released. She'll be in a dangerous position though so it's not that bad. If you use it on who's in her egg form you will execute her and release aoe fear.

video

► Bard's Tempered Fate - Similarly to , if enemy or ally ults you after you ulted someone and this target fell below needed threshold you will be able to execute him freely. won't work on enemies who are being reeled because they're untargetable. However, if a player times his R correctly, he can save himself or ally from the second part of 's Ultimate.

video

► Braum's Unbreakable - This ability can't stop second part of 's Ultimate. However, if uses in front of a target who would die to the second cast of he will not be dragged in. It could be a bug, though.

video

► Ekko's Chronobreak - When he uses ultimate he's untargetable for a short amount of time. It's enough to dodge 's ultimate if timed well.

video

► Elise's Rappel - She can't wait out entire 's duration because allows her to stay in the air for only up to 2 seconds while 's ult lasts up to 4 seconds. However, if uses her E in spider form right before chains connect, she will dodge them, putting you ult on cooldown.

video

► Evelynn's Last Caress - When she uses ultimate she's untargetable for a short amount of time. It's still enough to dodge 's ultimate if timed well.

video

► Ezreal's Arcane Shift - This ability can't allow to dodge second cast of .

video

► Fiora's Riposte - This ability can block both casts of 's ultimate. For a player it's better to block first part as it's much easier.

video

► Fizz's Playful / Trickster - Obviously, can dodge first part of 's ult but he can dodge second part too. It requires very good timing from to block it but when he uses first part of his ability right before second part of would connect him, he will dodge it.

video

► Gangplank's Remove Scurvy - can just eat a orange to remove second part of . All he needs to do is to use it when he's getting reeled into 's belly. FeelsBadMan :/

video

► Hecarim's Onslaught of Shadows - is unstoppable during his ultimate so his Ultimate will go through, but right after his Ultimate completes, begins to reel him in and execute.

video

► Illaoi's Leap of Faith - She is unstoppable for a short amount of time after using ultimate but it won't save her from the second cast of 's Ultimate.

video

► Irelia's Defiant Dance - This ability doesn't allow to cancel the second part of 's R but can still hit you while you're grinding her, so be careful.

video

► Jarvan IV's Cataclysm - He is unstoppable for a short amount of time after using ultimate but it will only delay his execution.

video

► Kalista's Fate's Call - This ability will prevent her linked ally to be executed if she times correctly. Additionally, her "bubble" lasts lost enough that her ally can wait entire duration of 's ultimate.

video

► Kayle's Intervention - can save herself or her ally by using in a correct time. Luckily she can't use her ult when her ally or herself is on the way to be executed as they are untargetable during this process. is in a favorable role also because you can control when you click R for the second time. This means that when playing vs you need to wait 0,5-1,5 seconds (time depends on her R rank) and then begin the execute process.

video

► Kindred's Lamb's Respite - In the circle nothing can die but you can use on the enemy who is inside this area and either walk away outside the circle (if you were in a circle in the first place, but it's more dangerous as you might be on low health at this point so wait until the last available moment - right before executing an enemy) or when you are outside of the circle (you just need to hit R and then click it second time when they fall below the threshold. TL:DR - counters hard.

video

► Kled's Chaaaaaaaarge!!! and Skaarl the Cowardly Lizard - is unstoppable for entire duration of his ultimate and this time, his Ultimate will counter 's Ultimate. You would need to wait with a second cast of 's R until he finishes his journey to finish him off successfully.
For his passive, becomes untargetable for a short amount of time when he mounts so you need to be aware of these two interactions. Second interaction between his passive and 's Ultimate is that when you use on who is mounted and has low Health, you will be able to reel him in, dismounting him but it won't kill him.

video

► Lissandra's Frozen Tomb - palces herself in statis for a duration of her ultimate so she can dodge 's Ultimate.

video

► Malphite's Unstoppable Force - Despite giving a unstoppable effect, he will still be reeled in so don't wait too long with recasting because as you can see in the first video proof, he might still damage/CC you or your whole team.

video

► Maokai's Twisted Advance - is untargetable for a brief amount of time so he can use his W to dodge chains.

video

► Master Yi's Alpha Strike - This champion can escape 's chains when he uses .

video

► Malzahar's Void Shift - His passive in theory can block 's Ultimate but in reality it's close to impossible. Just wait 0,1 or 0,2 seconds with casting second part of and it will always execute him successfully.

video

► Morgana's Black Shield - Her E makes it so she or her ally can't be dragged when they've . However, if her lasted a little more than one second you can just wait out the remaining duration so the shield expires and your second cast of is going to be successful. Timing is crucial in this matchup.

video

► Nocturne's Shroud of Darkness - Even a well timed will not save from getting executed by a second cast of 's ult.

video

► Olaf's Ragnarok - During his ultimate he is immune to crowd control for 6 seconds so he won't be pulled to your belly. In theory you could wait 2~ seconds and then use ult for the second time but 's W combined with his passive gives him enough sustain to get back on a safe 25+% Health. On top of that, in the first vidoe proof, as you can see, sometimes you can get the reel animation off which disallows you to use autoattacks and your 's mini autoattacks don't work either. It's big because sometimes you might have needed 1 or 2 autoattacks to finish but an experienced player who knows about this interaction, will use his Ultimate in a way, that prevents you from autoattacking and using spells for a brief moment and potentially make a good use (for him) from it.

video

► Pantheon's Grand Skyfall - He is untargetable when he's in the air so you need to wait with second part of your ult until he falls on the ground.

video

► Rek'Sai's Void Rush - She is untargetable during but it won't stop her from being executed by 's R. However, when prepares for a jump, she can dodge 's second cast of Ultimate.

video

► Rengar's Battle Roar - 's empowered removes all forms of CC, including the chains.

video

► Ryze's Realm Warp - 's Ultimate allows him or his ally to dodge 's Ultimate if timed well.

video

► Shaco's Hallucinate - He can use right before chains would connect him to try to dodge them but he won't end up alive as the execute process won't be stopped.

video

► Shyvana's Dragon's Descent - becomes unstoppable during the dash on her R but 's Ultimate will pull her in, after a short delay.

video

► Sion's Unstoppable Onslaught - is unstoppable for entire duration of his ultimate. If he hits a wall after a ride that is shorter than 3,5~ seconds you will be able to reactivate and successfully executing . If he's under the effect for over 4 second, will run away alive as his ult lasts longer than 's ult. In other words, if you see a player escaping the chains from your Ultimate, just wait full 4 seconds and there's a chance you'll kill him anyways.

video

► Sivir's Spell Shield - This ability can block only first part of 's ultimate.

video

► Tahm Kench's Devour - 's most iconic ability when used on a target ulted by will cancel 's R. If you're with in team, and your is on cooldown and his is available, you can ask him to eat you and flash forward for a AoE fear that enemies won't expect.

video

► Taric's Cosmic Radiance - 's ultimate grants Invulnerability so it will prevent him and his allies from being executed. It has a decently long delay so if it's possible, wait a few seconds and recast as 's Ultimate is about to end. By doing this, he or his ally will still be executed.

video

► Tryndamere's Undying Rage - It lasts 1 second longer than 's ult but also has heal on his Q so it might be dangerous to try calculate whether he's low enough or not to wait out entire duration of his ult by ulting after first second of his ult. Other than that, when is under the effect of he won't be executed. Remember that can use also when he's CC'ed.

video

► Vi's Cease and Desist - 's Ultimate is unable to counter .

video

► Vladimir's Sanguine Pool - 's pool is able to counter .

video

► Warwick's Jaws of the Beast and Infinite Duress - is briefly unstoppable during his Q animation but it won't save him from getting executed. However, his Ultimate allows him to deny this process.

video

► Xayah's Featherstorm - can dodge chains if she uses this ability right before chains would connect her.

video

► Yasuo's Wind Wall - This ability blocks both parts of .

video

► Yuumi's You and Me! - You need to time your Ultimate correctly as if you do it too late she'll be able to hide in her ally's model. However, it's possible to catch her with chains when she's travelling by using her W.

video

► Zac's Cell Division - For his passive the same will happen as in 's case with an exception that you can't ult the mini blobs.

video

► Zed's Death Mark - He vanishes for 0,75 seconds so he's able to dodge the second part of 's Ultimate.

video

► Zilean's Chronoshift - It needs to be used before chains connect as targets are untargetable during the reeling process. It works though, so it prevents from dying to if used correctly.

What to do during teamfights?

is a champion who relies heavily on the way how he uses . its use can be game changing but on the other hand, isn't a champion who is considered as a "ulti bot" (a term used to describe champions who rely mainly on their ultimate ability). While is a really powerful ability it doesn't mean that it defines in teamfights as he can be really useful even if he misses it (which isn't your goal ofcourse). His CC and sustained damage make him a huge threat to the enemy team.

I'll talk here about how to utilize most effectively. It deals the more damage the more health your enemy has got. This mens that unlike most of the champions he doesn't benefit that much from trying to run straight to the enemy carries and hope that your own carries will survive their front line champions. As you actually benefit from focusing and killing enemy front line because your Ult will be more impactful.

can do many things in teamfights, poke, defend, initiate but he is the best at giving cc and in shredding armor. Even if you seem like not doing much you are always useful because of the way works and the fact that you deal %Health damage. It will allow you to stay relevant throughout whole game.

Our Juggernaut with 6 legs is really powerful in teamfights. Maybe he's not as useful as for example but he's definitely high on the list for as long as your R successfully hits someone in teamfight.

Flash Combos. 's combos, especially the two of them - using right before executing for the surprise aoe fear + a combination of and are necessary for turning around teamfights. doesn't rely on his that much to be called useless when it's on cooldown but it's definitely not a secret that these tricks can turn the teamfight around.

Patience. but also are great abilities when you hit them. If you miss them - not so much as you either make yourself much weaker (without ult) or you can put yourself in a wrong position (if you miss E). Try to be patient and if it's possible wait for your team to activate theirs CC so that you won't miss any of these important abilities.

doesn't even have to be in a teamfight to be scary. You can pressure enemy team by splitpushing with a available to use . It's enough to tilt enemy team as long as you do splitpushing correctly.

For a summary, try to R tankier champions from enemy front line, remember about combos and be patient :)
