Early game (levels 1–5)

Urgot dominates you 1-4: he out-ranges your Alpha Strike (Q) with Purge (W) and his knee-shot (Q), shoves the wave into your tower, and pokes you every time you go for CS. His Corrosive Charge (E) flip cancels your dash and knocks you away, and there's no trade window where your Meditate can out-heal his sustained shred. Farm carefully and expect to concede the lane.
