This is Ornn's own plan; across 1,135 pooled games the lane is leaning Ornn.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1UrgotUrgot owns 1 — Corrosive Charge pokes from 800 range and Echoing Flames adds free damage while you have no combo.
Level 2UrgotStill his — Purge out-DPSes you at 490 range, and your W Brittle is not up yet to punish the stutter-step.
Level 3Even / skillSkill swings here once Q+W are up: your unstoppable Brittle poke and shield let you trade back through his legs.
Levels 4-5Even / skillEven — your E-Q-pillar knock-up threatens him but his E flip can interrupt the setup, so it comes down to who lands first.
Level 6OrnnYou own 6 — R's double knock-up plus a Brittle-amplified E-Q stun beats his all-in before his R can execute.
First itemOrnnYour first tank item makes you a durable W-poke bully who tanks his shotgun-leg trades comfortably.
Two+ itemsUrgotUrgot reclaims it — his percent-max-HP Q/W ignore your stacked armor and his R executes you in the sustained fight.

How to beat Urgot as Ornn: the early game

Levels 1-2 belong to Urgot and you can't contest them — you have no shield, no combo, and his Q shotgun legs plus W's stutter-step DPS chunk you while you're mana-starved. Just farm and don't step into W range to throw a wasted Q. At 3 you stabilize hard: W's unstoppable percent-HP exhale plus shield lets you poke back and eat a trade, so start punishing when he commits his W and his legs are on cooldown.
