Read from Urgot's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Graves.
This is Urgot's own plan; across 2,624 pooled games the lane is leaning Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because his point-blank Buckshot trades roughly with your autos and frame. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | Level 2 favours him — Quickdraw resets let him burst and step out of Purge. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3 stays his — End of the Line pokes at 925 and Quickdraw leaves your range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 stay yours as Purge grinds him down past his first rotation. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Level 6 favours him — Collateral Damage is burst he can land on demand. |
| First item | Graves | First item is yours: Black Cleaver and Sterak's out-grind his lethality burst in a long fight. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | With 2+ items you win — your HP and shred outlast him and R punishes him in fights. |
Level 1 is a skill lane — his shotgun hits hard point-blank but you have the frame to trade back with Echoing Flames autos, so respect the first burst and never over-walk into a full four-bullet spread. From level 2 he tilts ahead: End of the Line is 13s at rank 1 and pokes at 925, and Quickdraw steps straight back out of your 490 Purge range.
