Ryze vs Urgot

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze must manage a controlled lane state to safely farm and scale against Urgot's ranged juggernaut pressure.
Focus on wave control to avoid giving Urgot free poke and prevent him from setting up his (E) flip and passive legs damage.
This is a scaling vs scaling matchup where Ryze aims to outscale through item power spikes and map movement.

Trading pattern

Trade with (E) spread and (Q) damage, only committing when you have mana for follow-up rotations and (W) ready to root Urgot if he approaches.
Punish Urgot immediately after he uses (E) or when his passive legs are on cooldown to reduce his damage output.
Avoid stepping forward to trade when low on mana or without (W) available, as Urgot can punish your engage range with poke and flips.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) flip and shield are available, as engaging during this window can lead to punishing counterattacks.
Avoid extended trades when Urgot's passive legs are active, as they increase his damage significantly.
After Urgot uses (E) or misses (R) execute, you have a safer window to trade or push the wave.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and avoid extended trades before your first mana/AP item to minimize early health loss.
Use (E) and (Q) for short, controlled trades when (E) is on cooldown or missed.
Hold (W) to punish Urgot's commits and prevent his (E) flip from landing effectively.

Power spikes

After your first mana/AP item, pressure the wave and trades more confidently while tracking (E) and (R) cooldowns.
At level 6, use (R) for map plays and verified all-ins or defensive resets; avoid forcing fights without vision or jungle support.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat and his level 9 (W) uptime that increases his sustained damage potential.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming under controlled wave states and using (E) and (Q) rotations to chip Urgot down when his key cooldowns are down.
Use waveclear to deny Urgot side-lane pressure and create opportunities for map plays with (R).
Exploit Urgot's cooldowns on (E) and passive legs to force trades and extend lane control until you reach your item power spikes.
