How to win lane as Urgot against Maokai · 53.68% win rate over 475 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — respect his saplings and the first W root. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | At level 2 you shred his thin early armor with Q and Purge. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | At level 3 your full kit out-trades his sustain-and-root pattern. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 you punish every W cooldown for a winning trade. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Your level-6 R executes him before his tank scaling matters. |
| First item | Urgot | First item your Cleaver-Purge shred out-damages his W sustain. |
| Two+ items | Maokai | At 2-plus items full-tank Maokai's CC and peel outscale your lane pressure. |
Level 1 is a skill start — don't walk into his sapling zone or eat a free W root. From level 2 you take over: your Q outer-ring and Purge shred his weak early armor, and even when he lands W the root just holds him in your damage. Trade on his W cooldown and deny his sustain from mattering.
