Gangplank vs Urgot

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlling barrel zones and farming safely to scale into a major threat against Urgot's mid-game power spikes.
Manage lane pressure carefully to avoid giving Urgot easy engages with (E) and execute range with (R).

Trading pattern

Trade short with (Q) and passive resets, only extending when barrels are primed and (W) is available to counter Urgot's engage.
Punish Urgot immediately after he misses (E) or when his passive legs are on cooldown by stepping forward with barrel chains.
Avoid trading when barrels are cleared or (W) is down, as Urgot's crowd control and execute threat increase.

Danger windows

Beware when (E) is up and he positions to flip you into his passive legs and execute range.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is on cooldown, as crowd control can stick and lead to lethal all-ins.
Be cautious during (R) execute window at low health; disengage or use (W) to cleanse and heal if forced to fight.

Early game

Use (Q) to poke and farm while setting up barrels to zone Urgot from engaging.
Avoid committing to all-ins before setting up barrel chains or having (W) ready to cleanse his crowd control.
Maintain controlled wave states to prevent Urgot from forcing melee range where his (E) can flip you.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to influence fights globally and slow Urgot's engages or protect dives.
Scale into critical item barrel damage where one barrel chain can decide side-lane fights and punish Urgot's lower mobility.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat by avoiding low health trades and keeping (W) ready to cleanse crowd control.

Win conditions

Control the lane with (Q) poke and barrel zoning to deny Urgot clean engages and scale safely.
Reach critical barrel damage and item thresholds to threaten Urgot's lower mobility and punish his cooldowns.
Use (R) to impact fights globally, slow enemies, and create opportunities for your team while side-laning effectively.
