This is Urgot's own plan; across 511 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before Kennen's poke range comes fully online. |
| Level 2 | Kennen | At level 2 Kennen's ranged Q and W kiting start out-poking and zoning Urgot. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | Levels 3 Kennen keeps the CS-zone and stacks his passive stun on Urgot. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | By levels 4-5 Urgot can bait Kennen's E dash and answer with R, taking the edge. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Level 6 gives Urgot a clean R execute once Kennen's dash is committed. |
| First item | Kennen | Kennen's level 6 Maelstrom-plus-E all-in reasserts his kill threat when both are up. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | With first-item shred and R, Urgot deletes the squishy Kennen in any 1v1. |
Level 1 is a skill check, but from levels 2-3 Kennen takes over — his ranged Thundering Shuriken (Q) out-pokes you and his Electrical Surge (W) move-speed kites your walk-ups while he stacks his passive stun, so farm safe and don't chase.
