Urgot vs Jayce

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should focus on controlling ranged-melee spacing to mitigate Jayce's poke and avoid giving him free tempo leads.
This is a scale versus snowball matchup where Urgot must survive early poke and leverage execute pressure post-level 6.

Trading pattern

Trade when Jayce commits into melee form and use (E) to flip him, then follow up with passive legs and (R) execute pressure.
Avoid trading immediately after missing (E) or when passive legs are on cooldown to prevent being kited.
Use poke and spacing to bait Jayce's hammer form cooldown, then punish his limited escape with (E).

Danger windows

Be cautious when Jayce lands empowered (Q) through (E), as his poke can create kill pressure or force you out of lane.
Avoid extended fights immediately after missing (E) or (R) to prevent losing execute pressure and being kited.
Watch for hammer form engages, which commit Jayce and can be punished if you hold (E) and space correctly.

Early game

Use (Q) poke and passive legs to contest Jayce's ranged harassment while avoiding extended trades before (E) is ready.
Respect Jayce's empowered (Q) poke through (E) and avoid walking into it to prevent early health deficits.
Hold (E) to punish Jayce's hammer form engages or overextensions rather than using it proactively.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage (R) execute threat to turn low-health trades in your favor even if you can't finish with autos.
At level 9, use improved (W) uptime to pressure longer fights and side-lane duels with passive legs.
Respect Jayce's first damage item spike and mid-game poke siege, avoiding free poke and punishing hammer form cooldowns.

Win conditions

Win by controlling melee spacing with poke and passive legs, forcing Jayce to engage into your (E) for punishing trades.
Convert health advantages into (R) executes to create fear and secure kills or zone Jayce from farm.
Reach side-lane duels and front-line fights where your ranged juggernaut identity and execute pressure dominate.
