Cho'Gath vs Urgot

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and passive sustain to outscale Urgot's ranged poke and execute threat.
Maintain medium lane pressure by threatening (Q) knockup and (W) silence to control space and punish Urgot's predictable minion positioning.
Focus on scaling health stacks with (R) to become a durable front line and objective threat in longer games.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q) knockup on Urgot's minion last-hits to initiate short trades and silence with (W) if he commits.
Avoid trading when (Q) is missed or (W) is on cooldown, as Urgot can punish with (E) flip and passive legs.
Exploit Urgot's cooldowns by stepping forward to threaten (R) execute on low-health targets after successful (Q)+(W) combos.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) flip and passive legs are available; avoid engaging first to prevent being locked down.
Respect (R) execute window on low-health targets; avoid prolonged fights near execute thresholds.
Avoid long trades before your first tank item and level 6, as you are more vulnerable to Urgot's punish potential then.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 to minimize vulnerability to (E) flip and passive legs damage.
Use short control trades by landing (Q) on last-hit timings, then follow with (W) only if Urgot commits to counterattack.
Sustain through passive health and mana restore by farming safely and resisting Urgot's poke attempts.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to secure kills, stack health, and increase front-line durability; avoid wasting it on low-value trades.
After stacking multiple (R), position as a durable front line forcing enemies through your (Q) and (W) zones.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute and (E) flip cooldowns; avoid low-health trades when his execute threat is active.

Win conditions

Control space with (Q) and (W) to deny Urgot safe farming and force mistakes.
Sustain through passive and scale health stacks with (R) to become a durable front line and objective threat.
Use (R) execute to secure kills and snowball your durability advantage into teamfights and objective control.
