Urgot vs Aatrox

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should control ranged spacing to punish Aatrox's melee engage attempts and avoid extended fights without (E) shield.
Prioritize a controlled lane state to leverage Urgot's poke and execute threat over Aatrox's sustain and lane bully style.
This is a scale-versus-mid snowball matchup where Urgot aims to outscale and punish Aatrox's all-ins with (E) and (R).

Trading pattern

Trade by poking from range and only all-in when Aatrox walks into (E) for the flip and follow-up damage.
Punish Aatrox heavily after he misses (Q1) or (W) by stepping forward and applying passive legs damage.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is on cooldown or (R) execute pressure is unavailable to prevent being out-sustained.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Aatrox has (R) active combined with (W) and (Q) sweet spots, as he can chase and reset fights.
Avoid engaging when (E) is down, as Urgot loses his shield and flip, making him vulnerable to Aatrox's all-in.
Missing (R) execute removes Urgot's kill pressure, so avoid risky fights without it ready or when passive legs are on cooldown.

Early game

Use ranged poke and passive legs to chip Aatrox before level 6, avoiding long trades that favor his sustain.
Hold (E) to counter Aatrox's engage and punish when he commits inside your range.
Maintain wave control near mid-lane to limit Aatrox's ability to land sweet spot (Q) hits safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten executes on low-health Aatrox and force him to play cautiously.
Respect Aatrox's level 6 (R) window where his healing and resets increase his kill threat; disengage or burst him quickly.
After level 9, leverage (W) uptime to sustain through fights and pressure side-lane duels more confidently.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and passive legs to control melee spacing and bait Aatrox into unfavorable engages.
Punish Aatrox's commitment with (E) flips and convert health leads into executes using (R).
Aim for side-lane duels and front-line fights where Urgot's execute fear and ranged juggernaut identity excel.
