Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1UrgotUrgot's Q shotgun legs out-range your single Ntofo Strike and chip you while you have no Level 1 engage — concede and farm.
Level 2Even / skillHe still pokes with Q legs but you pick up W or E for safety; the trade is closer but neither side commits — genuinely even.
Level 3K'SanteYour full Q-W combo lands: W-charge stuns him on terrain and Q3 knocks him up before his Q legs reset — your first winning window.
Levels 4-5K'SanteYou trade around his Q-leg cooldowns and your tank bulk out-lasts his percent chip in a sustained fight.
Level 6Even / skillHis R fear-execute is a kill threat, but your All Out flips the 1v1 — it's a skill check of who commits when the other's cooldown is down.
First itemEven / skillYour first tank item makes you durable enough to out-sustain his shotgun chip, but his E-flip-into-Q-W can still punish a mistake — even.
Two+ itemsEven / skillNeither outscales: his percent-HP hurts your armor but your peel and sustain answer it — the lane stays a coinflip into a teamfight skirmish.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Urgot owns Level 1 — his Q shotgun legs out-range your single Ntofo Strike and his passive autos chunk you while you have zero engage, so just last-hit at the tip of Q and eat a little chip. Do NOT walk up to trade a single Q against him; he wins that exchange every time. Things flip at Level 3 once your Q-W combo is online: W-charge into him to smash him against the wall for the long stun, then land Q3 for the knock-up. That charge is also your answer to his slow — bank a couple of these clean trades and the lane is yours.
