Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1UrgotHis Corrosive Charge (Q) out-ranges your Five Point Strike and you have no Shroud yet — he chips you for free while you last-hit.
Level 2UrgotHis shotgun legs auto-shred you the instant you step into range, and you still lack the smoke to reset the trade.
Level 3Even / skillFull kit online with Shroud, but his Disdain flip and ranged Q poke keep it a genuine coin-flip on who commits.
Levels 4-5UrgotHe trades around Disdain's cooldown and his sustained shotgun-leg DPS out-banks your spiky energy-gated chip.
Level 6AkaliYour only owned stage: E-mark plus Perfect Execution's recast finishes him if you catch his Disdain (E flip) down.
First itemEven / skillLich Bane gives you the burst to all-in, but one flip into his legs and his R fear cancels your combo, so it stays even.
Two+ itemsUrgotHis shotgun-leg DPS and missing-health R execute out-scale your single-target burst — you can't one-shot a tanky Urgot late.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Urgot owns levels 1-3 here. His Corrosive Charge (Q) out-ranges your Five Point Strike, and the moment you step up to last-hit his shotgun legs auto-shred you while you have no Shroud yet to reset the trade. Farm with the tip of your kunai, eat a little Q poke, and do NOT walk into auto range of his legs — every chunk of HP he shaves is burst you needed for level 6. Track his Disdain (E flip); that single point-and-click is what drags you in and kills you in this lane.
