Playing as Urgot

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Circle your target

    Move around your target between autos: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing them, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Mark your target before Purge

    Hit your target with Corrosive Charge (Q) or Disdain (E) before Purge (W): the chain gun prioritizes the marked champion, and each shot can trigger your legs.

  3. Throw them toward your tower

    Cast Disdain (E) on an enemy who comes near your tower: the first champion hit is stunned and thrown behind you, and you gain a shield.

  4. Save your ult for a sure kill

    Save Fear Beyond Death (R) for an enemy sure to die, especially one who's fleeing: below 25% max health, you can drag them in to execute them, and their nearby allies are feared.

Playing against Olaf

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his axe

    Dodge Undertow (Q): it's his only slow, and without a dash, he can only reach you on foot.

  2. Trade while his axe is away

    Take a trade when his axe has landed far from him: until he picks it up, Undertow (Q) keeps its 9-second cooldown.

  3. No long trades when he's low

    Avoid long trades when he's low on health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives him attack speed and life steal based on his missing health.

  4. Save your CC for after Ragnarok

    If you have CC, save it for after Ragnarok (R): while it lasts, no CC stops him, and it has a 100 to 80 second cooldown.
