Volibear vs Urgot

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's early lane pressure and melee range to deny Urgot a calm scaling lane and force health leads.
Prioritize aggressive trades and level 6 dive threat to prevent Urgot from safely using his ranged poke and (E) flip.
This is a snowball matchup where Volibear must leverage early agency and lane pressure to outpace Urgot's scaling.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) to force contact and follow up with (E) to reduce Urgot's ability to escape.
Only extend trades if the second (W) heal can be secured, as it significantly increases Volibear's durability.
Punish Urgot immediately after he uses (E) to flip, as his defensive cooldown is down and he is easier to kite.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) flip is available; engaging into it can lead to dangerous counterplays.
Avoid extended fights when Urgot's passive legs are active around him, as they increase his damage output.
Exercise extra caution when (R) execute is off cooldown and he can finish low-health targets.

Early game

Start trades with (Q) to close distance and stun, then place (E) to shield and slow Urgot along the fight path.
Aim to land the second (W) hit for healing and extended trades, punishing Urgot when he cannot disengage.
Avoid chasing Urgot through minion waves where (Q) cannot connect to maintain pressure and sustain.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to dive aggressively under turret or force Urgot off the wave, exploiting his vulnerability to committed fights.
After completing first bruiser or tank item, pressure trades heavily to leverage increased durability and sustain from (W).
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat by avoiding low-health prolonged trades and dodging his execute projectile.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane pressure by forcing repeated (W) trades and using (Q) to lock down Urgot for damage.
Use level 6 (R) to threaten turret dives or force Urgot into unfavorable recalls, creating lane tempo.
Transition health and durability leads into durable brawls and side pressure to deny Urgot his scaling and execute windows.
