Urgot Scaling: Grade B
Reasonably well, with conditions. Urgot keeps real value at full build. Grade B, Okay late, in The Scaling Codex.
Reviewed for League of Legends Season 16 (2026).
Verdict. Wants to be split-pushing in a side lane. Peel-back Bruiser Urgot in team fights is not bad, but there are better scalers.
- Split-push value
A side lane the enemy does not want to visit
Very few champions win the duel, so answering his tower pressure costs either a losing fight or a second body, and either payment shows up at the objective his team is setting.
When the map forces him to group he keeps an honest second job as a peel-back bruiser. The flip drags a diver off his carry, and the execute threat means any target that dips low near him can be deleted and feared.
Playing forward breaks him
Chasing their backline asks a champion with limited access to solve the fight's hardest problem, and the execute needs a low target he can actually reach.
Split until the map makes you group, then face backward. Your target is the diver who reached your carry, not the carry across the fight.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
