Urgot vs Cho'Gath

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should control ranged spacing to punish Cho'Gath's melee approach and avoid his silence and knockup chain.
Focus on medium lane pressure to deny Cho'Gath free scaling and prevent him from safely stacking health with (R).

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with (Q) and passive legs, then punish Cho'Gath's engage attempts by holding (E) to flip him when he commits.
Avoid trading when (E) is on cooldown or passive legs are unavailable to maintain damage pressure.
Use (R) execute on low-health Cho'Gath targets to capitalize on kill pressure and create fear in fights.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Cho'Gath has (Q) and (W) available, as his knockup and silence can punish predictable movement.
Avoid all-ins immediately after missing (E) or (R) to prevent being kited or losing execute pressure.
Watch for (R) execute threat on low-health targets; maintain health above execute thresholds.

Early game

Use (Q) poke and passive legs to harass Cho'Gath early while maintaining distance to avoid (Q) knockup and (W) silence.
Avoid committing to long trades before level 6 to reduce risk from Cho'Gath's crowd control and sustain.
Punish Cho'Gath when he misses (Q) or (W) by stepping forward with (E) to flip and follow up with passive damage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten execute range and force Cho'Gath to play cautiously around low health.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime for smoother sustained damage and longer trades when passive legs are active.
Respect Cho'Gath's level 6 (R) execute and health stacking; avoid extended fights if he has multiple stacks and is durable.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and passive legs to control melee space and prevent Cho'Gath from safely farming and stacking health.
Punish Cho'Gath's engage attempts with well-timed (E) flips and convert health leads into (R) executes.
Pressure side-lane duels after key item spikes to leverage Urgot's ranged juggernaut strength and execute threat.
