Urgot vs Gangplank

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should control ranged spacing to prevent Gangplank from safely setting barrels and scaling freely.
Focus on medium lane pressure to deny Gangplank passive scaling and force him into uncomfortable trades.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking from range, then punish Gangplank when he walks into (E) with passive legs and (R) execute pressure.
Avoid engaging if (E) is on cooldown or if Gangplank has barrels primed nearby.
Capitalize on Gangplank's barrel cooldowns and (W) downtime to force trades and zone him off farm.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gangplank has barrels primed and (W) available to cleanse your (E) engage.
Avoid all-ins when your passive legs are on cooldown or (R) execute is missed, as damage output drops significantly.
Watch for (R) global pressure that can slow and turn skirmishes against you.

Early game

Use (Q) poke and passive legs to pressure Gangplank early before he can set barrel zones.
Hold (E) to punish Gangplank's engage attempts or barrel setups.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 where (W) heal and barrel chains can out-sustain you.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten executes on low-health targets and force Gangplank to play cautiously.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime for sustained damage and longer duels in side lanes.
Respect Gangplank's level 6 (R) global slow and barrel scaling spikes by avoiding clustered fights and barrel zones.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and passive legs to control melee spacing and deny Gangplank barrel setups.
Punish Gangplank's engages by flipping him with (E) and converting health leads with (R) execute pressure.
Pressure side lanes post-level 9 with sustained damage to force favorable duels and limit Gangplank's scaling impact.
