I honestly dont understand what the counterplay to Urgot is. A LOT of damage from lv 3, very tanky from lv 3, hard cc, a very long range execute R. Never falls behind. This champ can have 1 item at 30 min and still have assassin level burst against adcs, supports and most mid laners.
Tanky level 3? In what world is Urgot tanky at level 3?!?
I main that champion, don't you dare spread false information about this.
riven, udyr, aatrox, pantheon, darius, illaoi.
Trynda/Olaf probably work, especially after lv 6 as you nullify his ULT.
If you get hit by 4-5 legs every time it's kind of hard to not get outtraded.
Fiora can win lane almost against anyone and Jax's E can block the W damage and I am not sure if the legs proc either if you dodge the W.
Darius and Yorick for bludgeonings, maybe Aatrox to outplay him, Maybe ranged match-ups.
But in general you are screwed if they pick Urgot and he knows how to play, gonna be honest.
Looking at this thread. It looks more of a rant than a genuine question. Considering people are giving you their insights and you're just arguing. What's the point of making a public thread if you won't take public opinion?
One word, Karthus Top lane, build a fuck ton of damage, and when he kills you, kill him back.
I still remember the days when i could take Riven into Urgot dodge the e and out trade. Now he w`s me for the majority of my hp before i can e away, Not to mention
wins all 1v1s in lane kinda like 
at level 6
Fight him while his W is down lol
Olaf, Trynda and Illaoi will simply outtrade him everytime, and while the first deal more dmg than him in early game unlike Illaoi, the Kraken priestess can simply push him under tower and her healing potential and her all ins will simply destroy urgot. Urgot can't also push properly without running out of mana pre lvl 9, he can't really poke you down with Q (which is currenly maxed last and cost like 80 mana wtf) and he has to move in a specific way to proc his passive, which makes it even easier for skillshot based champ to land their abilities. You can also ult during his ult with Olaf, Trynd, Ekko or you can cancel his ult with Fiora W, Kled Passive. You can also cancel his ult if a Braum uses his shield in front of you or if you have a qss... Since he has really bad matchup againist Trynd, Olaf, Fiora and even Jax if he even manages to get a kill, after 2 years of Urgot I can really say that he sucks if he's played from behind. You should also notice that unlike many other top laners he doesn't build sustain AT ALL and he will have to recall way more often than anyone if he's low, he doesn't build tiamat nor he has any from of sustain in his kit.
TL;DR His Ult is countered by one item, he has no sustain, his e is predictable, his ult has a cast animation and you can dodge it or flash out from his range, and if he's trying to escape when he's pushing and he's using e, remembering that his e has a casting animation: just go in front of him and he will throw you back, and he won't escape. He also sucks a lot if he loses the lane. He's definitely a best when he has a lead but unlike Jax,Trynda,Fiora etc...he's not a super carry, if your bot feeds and the enemy adc has your same kills, if he's smart you won't have the same utility of one of the champ aboves, since they can always kill you with no mana just by using autos and chasing you down, Urgot just can't.
meh urgot problem is not that he is particularly strong during laning phase.. he is a demigod in teamfights late on..
He has a lot of counterplay compared to abominations like 
I think the execution damage is unfair. It would be nice, if he had some fix or percent damage (for example if the enemy has 25% hp its deal exactly that 25% hp as damage), so we could defend ourselves with a shield, a heal or something. But Urgot's other abilities are fine.
I hope you understand that I wanted to write, the English isn't my native language.
Have a nice day
Anyone with Stun CC and
