Urgot vs Riven

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot wants a controlled top lane to use ranged poke and punish Riven's engage with (E).
This is a scale-versus-snowball matchup where Urgot must deny Riven early cooldown windows to avoid lethal burst.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking from range and threatening (E) to flip Riven if she commits.
Punish Riven after she uses (Q) and (E) to engage, as her mobility and shield are down.
Use passive legs to maximize damage during trades and prepare for (R) execute pressure on low-health targets.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Riven has all cooldowns available, especially (W) stun and third (Q) knockup, combined with (R) active.
Avoid engaging or using (E) aggressively when passive legs are on cooldown, as damage output is reduced.
After missing (R) execute, lose pressure and avoid extended fights to prevent counter-engage.

Early game

Use ranged poke and passive legs to keep Riven at bay before level 6.
Avoid committing when (E) is on cooldown or after missing (E) to prevent being kited.
Respect Riven's early mobility and crowd control; only engage when her defensive cooldowns are down.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten execute and force Riven to play cautiously at low health.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime for smoother sustained trades and longer duels.
Respect Riven's level 6 (R) spike and her first damage/haste item timing to avoid burst combos.

Win conditions

Control spacing with ranged poke and punish Riven's engages with (E) flips.
Convert health leads into kills by landing (R) executes on low-health Riven.
Push for side-lane duels after level 9 when (W) uptime and passive legs maximize sustained damage.
