How to beat Urgot as Yone: the early game

Urgot bullies you early: Corrosive Charge (Q) slows and chunks you, Purge (W) melts you if you step in, and his shotgun-leg passive punishes any melee trade. Farm at range, take Q pokes on the wave rather than face, and don't try to auto-war him levels 1-2 or 4-5.
