Urgot vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should control ranged spacing to punish Mordekaiser's melee approach and avoid extended trades where Mordekaiser thrives.
This is a control vs control matchup where Urgot must deny Mordekaiser's passive lane and scale into side-lane duels and execute pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade by baiting Mordekaiser into engaging on you, then flip him with (E) to punish his immobility.
Avoid extended trades when Mordekaiser's passive and (W) shield are active; instead, focus on short trades with passive legs and (Q).
Capitalize on missed (E) pulls by stepping forward aggressively to pressure and control the wave.

Danger windows

Mordekaiser is dangerous when (E) lands and sets up his passive damage; respect his pull threat by spacing carefully.
Be cautious during (R) realm isolation, especially if he has health or item advantage.
Avoid fighting without passive legs or (E) ready, as Urgot is vulnerable to Mordekaiser's extended damage then.

Early game

Use (Q) poke and rotate passive legs to chip Mordekaiser's health before he can engage with (E).
Hold (E) to punish Mordekaiser's pull attempts and avoid committing when his shield is up.
Maintain lane control to prevent Mordekaiser from setting up isolated trades before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten execute on low-health Mordekaiser and force him to play cautiously.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime to sustain longer trades when passive legs are available.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) which forces isolated duels; avoid being caught alone without cooldowns.

Win conditions

Win by controlling melee spacing with ranged poke and passive legs to bait and punish Mordekaiser's engage.
Use (E) flips to disrupt Mordekaiser's pull attempts and convert health leads into (R) executes.
Pressure side lanes and front-line fights where Urgot's execute fear and ranged juggernaut identity excel.
