He can't reach you and you reflect what he throws — stack Overwhelm on every step-up and execute at 6.
Track: Urgot's E — Disdain (16–14s cooldown). His flip engage — sidestep it and he has no way to start.
Read from Mel's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
This is Mel's own plan; across 729 pooled games the lane is Urgot-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have a weak level 1 with one ability — your ranged auto poke is mirrored by his, no clear owner yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Q plus Solar Snare's root lands a guaranteed punish if he steps up to CS before his shotgun legs are online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Echoing Flames off his autos and Purge comes online and starts out-sustaining your Q chip — it evens out and tips his way. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Ranked Echoing Flames legs out-damage your poke, and Disdain closes 475 units past the range you live on. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Disdain into Fear Beyond Death is lethal — 16s and 100s at rank 1, so both are trackable. |
| First item | Even / skill | Tanky bruiser itemization shrugs your magic poke while his percent-HP legs keep shredding you in extended trades. |
| Two+ items | Mel | Tabi/Bramble Urgot out-statchecks your poke and his R execute beats Golden Eclipse against his health pool — he reclaims the late. |
Your one real window is Level 2: if Urgot steps up to last-hit before Echoing Flames and Purge are online, Q poke plus Solar Snare's root lands a guaranteed punish. After that it sours fast — his close-range chip out-sustains your Q, though Purge slows him while it runs. Don't trade autos into him. His legs are point-blank and not projectiles, but Corrosive Charge (Q) and Fear Beyond Death (R) both are, so Rebuttal has real targets — save it for the chem-drill instead.
