Early game (levels 1–5)

Urgot wins the lane from the first recall onward. His Corrosive Charge slows and zones you off CS, and the instant you enter your melee Q-nail or W range his Purge shreds you down. Your W self-damage makes this worse, handing him free execute math. Farm from distance, respect the Q slow window, and hold E to disengage rather than to engage.
