Urgot vs Locke Counter Pick

58.3% over 319 games on patch 16.13.1 is a sizable gap, built on a 225-unit range edge over a 125-range assassin who has to step into Echoing Flames before he can deal any damage.

Locke’s kit turns against him in places. Soul Ignition boosts attack speed and movement speed but hurts him as it does, and he only recovers health once the duration ends. That self-inflicted dip is what Fear Beyond Death is built to exploit, since the chem-drill finishes off any champion beneath a health threshold. Ashen Pursuit teleports him and then dashes into an attack, while Disdain punishes that commitment by seizing the champion and flinging him clear of the fight.

The raw stats are closer than the win rate implies: both start at 655 health at level 1, and at level 18 Locke has 2,508 against 2,389, though his 103.4 Armor there falls well short of Urgot’s 121. Locke deals physical damage, so armor keeps its value, whereas Silver Stake adds on-hit magic damage that scales with missing health, which keeps a low-health chase dangerous even when he is the one ahead. He also moves faster, at 340 base movement speed to 330, and Purgatory drops a binding artifact capable of executing enemies outright, so holding more health is no guarantee of safety. Rated 5 for difficulty against Urgot’s 8, Locke demands less of his pilot, which puts the burden of discipline on the winning side. Full kit: Locke.
