Read from Kennen's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
This is Kennen's own plan; across 511 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak level 1 — one Q chips but you have no stun and a fragile body, and his W Purge punishes any commit, so respect the lane. |
| Level 2 | Kennen | Your second Q plus Electrical Surge on-hit lands a real poke trade or a mark-stun on an Urgot who steps into shotgun-leg range to CS. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | You out-range him — mark with Q from outside Purge; his only step-up is Disdain (E), down 16s at rank 1. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kennen | You hold a clear poke edge; dodge his Q (Corrosive Charge) so its slow can't drag you into Purge percent-HP range. |
| Level 6 | Kennen | Slicing Maelstrom stun-locks Urgot once Disdain (E) is spent — Q-W-E-R bursts him before Purge ramps up. |
| First item | Kennen | Hextech Alternator or Rocketbelt cashes your R combo into a kill before his shotgun-leg percent-HP can out-DPS you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | His W percent-max-HP scales into your build and his R fear-execute deletes a caught, low-HP you — take fights only in teamfights, not a sidelane duel. |
Urgot has no dash and a slow E-flip, so this is your kind of immobile melee — chip him with Q from max range and walk away before he can shotgun-leg (W Purge) you. The one thing to respect is his E (Corrosive Charge): if it lands it slows you into Purge range where his percent-max-HP shots shred your low HP, so dodge it and don't sit still after you poke. At 2-3 a second Q and an Electrical Surge auto can land a real mark-stun if he oversteps to CS.
