Urgot vs Poppy

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot wants a controlled top lane to poke Poppy from range and punish her engage attempts with (E).
This is a scale-oriented matchup where Urgot must manage spacing to avoid Poppy's wall stuns and anti-dash (W).
Urgot should avoid giving Poppy easy terrain angles and maintain ranged pressure to deny her lane control.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking at range, then punish Poppy's dash into (W) with (E) flip and passive legs.
Avoid engaging immediately after (E) misses, as Urgot becomes easier to kite.
Pressure Poppy when her (W) is down to exploit her reduced anti-dash defense.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Poppy is near walls ready to stun with (E); avoid positioning that enables her wall stun.
Respect (W) anti-dash shield when she anticipates your engage; engaging into (W) wastes your (E).
Avoid extended trades or all-ins immediately after missing (E) or when passive legs are on cooldown to prevent being kited or punished.

Early game

Use ranged poke and rotate passive legs to chip Poppy before level 6.
Hold (E) to punish Poppy's dash attempts into (W), avoiding early all-ins without cooldown advantage.
Keep lane near center or away from walls to reduce (E) stun threat and force her into less effective trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten executes on low-health Poppy, forcing her to play cautiously.
After level 9, leverage (W) uptime for sustained fights and side-lane duels.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway as it can reset fights or disengage; avoid committing when it's available.

Win conditions

Control melee spacing with ranged poke and passive legs to bait Poppy into poor engages.
Punish Poppy's dash commits by flipping her with (E) and follow up with (R) execute on low-health targets.
Push for side-lane duels after level 9 and first bruiser item to maximize sustained damage and execute pressure.
