Urgot vs Ryze

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot wants to control ranged spacing and punish Ryze's short-range engage attempts with (E) flip and passive legs.
This is a scaling vs scaling lane where Urgot pressures Ryze's attempts to safely farm and scale, leveraging ranged poke and execute threat.

Trading pattern

Trade by zoning Ryze with ranged poke and punish his attempts to enter (E) range by flipping him with (E).
Avoid trading if (E) misses or passive legs are on cooldown to prevent being kited.
Use (R) execute pressure on low-health Ryze to force him to play cautiously and create windows for all-ins.

Danger windows

Beware when Ryze has full mana and cooldowns to cycle (E) and (Q) repeatedly, increasing his damage threat.
Respect (W) root as it can set up his damage; avoid walking into its range without (E) ready.
After using (E) flip, Urgot is vulnerable to kiting; avoid extended fights without passive legs available.

Early game

Use (Q) poke early to chip Ryze's health before he can safely engage with (E) and (W).
Avoid committing to all-ins before level 6 when (R) execute unlocks; focus on controlled trades and spacing.
Keep passive legs rotating to maximize damage and punish Ryze stepping forward for (E) spread.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) execute to threaten kills and force Ryze to respect low-health trades.
Level 9: Leverage (W) uptime for sustained damage and extended duels when passive legs are active.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike by playing cautiously around his improved spell rotations and waveclear.

Win conditions

Deny Ryze safe farming by controlling lane with ranged poke and punishing his attempts to engage with (E).
Use (E) flip combined with passive legs to force Ryze into unfavorable trades and secure kills with (R) execute.
Aim for side-lane duels and front-line fights where Urgot's ranged juggernaut and execute pressure can dominate Ryze.
