How to win lane as Ryze against Urgot · 50.79% win rate over 191 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Urgot | Urgot's Q fires from range and his W shotgun legs deal percent-max-HP even before you can walk into Flux range — stay back and last-hit with Q. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | He has enough level-2 threat from E-flip setup that you do not yet have the combo to punish it cleanly — trade only if your W root lands first. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your E-Q-W Flux loop is online and his E has no dash escape from your root; the lane is genuinely even in a committed trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Both of you are pre-item and his percent-HP legs keep the sustained damage close — farm safely and contest only when his W is down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Realm Warp gives you macro threat and an escape route from his E-R execute window, but no combat spike, so the 1v1 stays split. |
| First item | Ryze | Seraph's Embrace and your mana mythic make Arcane Mastery nearly permanent — your combo loop outlasts his healing window and you take the damage lead. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full-build Ryze is a teamfight carrier, but his E-R execute remains lethal if you drop below the HP threshold — warp your team to win fights rather than solo-killing him. |
Level 1 is rough — Urgot's Q fires from range and his W shotgun legs deal percent-max-HP, meaning he hurts you even through early health pools without committing to a melee trade. Do not walk into W proc range unless you intend to root-and-combo; instead, farm with Q at its full cast distance and accept some chip. At level 2 you have W to threaten a root, but he has the same level and his E flip punishes any overextension — if he E's you, you lose the trade unless your W root lands first.
