Urgot vs Yorick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should control ranged spacing to prevent Yorick from setting up graves and ghouls for sustained pressure.
This is a medium-agency lane where Urgot must deny Yorick's passive scaling and side-lane threat through poke and punishing engages.
Urgot aims to scale into a ranged juggernaut with execute pressure, countering Yorick's late-game splitpush identity.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with (Q) and rotating passive legs before committing to (E) flip when Yorick walks in.
Punish Yorick when he commits inside (E) range, especially if his ghouls or Maiden are not active.
Avoid missing (E) as it opens you to kiting and reduces damage output; use it only when Yorick commits or is marked by (E).

Danger windows

Yorick is dangerous when his ghouls are ready and (E) marks you, enabling sustained damage and wave control.
Be cautious when Yorick traps you with (W) cage without an immediate escape, as he can capitalize with graves and Maiden.
Avoid all-ins when your passive legs are on cooldown or (R) is unavailable to maintain execute threat.

Early game

Use (Q) poke early to keep Yorick from comfortably preparing graves and setting up ghouls.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 since Yorick's early agency is low but his sustain from (Q) healing can prolong trades.
Maintain enough spacing to threaten (E) flips when Yorick tries to engage with (E) mark or (W) cage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten execute on low-health Yorick, forcing him to play cautiously and avoid extended trades.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime to sustain damage in side-lane duels, pressuring Yorick's splitpush attempts.
Respect Yorick's level 6 spike when Maiden is summoned; prioritize killing Maiden or disengaging to avoid sustained pressure.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and passive legs to deny Yorick safe setup of graves and ghouls, limiting his sustained pressure.
Punish Yorick's engages by holding (E) to flip him and follow up with (R) execute when he is low health.
Control the lane to prevent Maiden from surviving, reducing Yorick's splitpush threat and enabling Urgot's side-lane duels and teamfight presence.
