Urgot, Fighter / Tank
Urgot, the Dreadnought, is a Fighter and Tank champion in League of Legends. Everything below comes from Riot's Data Dragon for patch 16.21.1: ability text, base stats and Riot's tips. Counters and matchups by class are worked out from that text, and each one shows its reason.
Playing as Urgot
Riot's own tips
Pay attention to your individual leg's cooldowns, as they make for a signficiant portion of your damage
Land Corrosive Charge or Disdain to lock on to target's with Purge - a great way to trigger multiple legs in rapid succession.
Save Fear Beyond Death for opponents you know are already too weak to survive. It's especially good for picking off fleeing foes.
Playing against Urgot
Riot's own tips
Urgot relies heavily on blasting opponents with his legs, which have their own cooldowns and only detonate when he attacks in the direction they are facing. Avoid getting hit by multiple.
Urgot can deal and absorb tremendous amounts of damage with Purge, but slows himself while firing.
If you are struck by Fear Beyond Death, do your best to avoid falling below the execution threshold (25% of your Maximum Health) until the effect times out.
