Read from Poppy's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
This is Poppy's own plan; across 497 pooled games the lane is leaning Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak level 1 — single ability, low damage. Last-hit and set up the wave; don't trade into his W legs. |
| Level 2 | Poppy | With Q+E you get a wall-stun combo online — punish a misposition for a max-HP chunk before his legs ramp. |
| Level 3 | Poppy | Level 3 is your window: E-stun into Q max-HP smash out-trades his flat early damage if you disengage with W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | It evens out — his percent-HP W legs answer your flat damage in any long fight, so trades stay even and short. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His R fear-execute is a real threat but yours is peel/displacement, not burst — the level cancels to even. |
| First item | Even / skill | Cheap tank components let you trade and tank, but his shotgun DPS scales with his too — neither pulls clearly ahead. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | He out-scales: Cleaver + tank items make his percent-HP legs and R execute beat your flat damage — play frontline, not duelist. |
Urgot's shotgun legs (W) deal percent-max-HP, so a long stand-and-fight grinds even a tanky Poppy down — don't sit in it. Your edge is the wall stun: E him into terrain for a stun, land a max-HP Q smash, and W out before his legs ramp. At levels 2-3 with Q+E up this is your strongest window — punish him while his flat early damage hasn't out-scaled your chunk yet. Mind his E flip; if he flips you the wrong way you eat his cone and the wave.
