when i said tanky, i kindof meant juggernaut builds and not full tank builds.
like
into pretty much full defensive itemization.
garen and darius cant get away with actual tank builds either. they tend to build the same with 1 or 2 offensive items at the least, and then into defense.
if they want to buff urgots defense, they could give him some bonus resistances for hitting his e. this would increase his scaling with health, and reward successful aggressive plays witha bit more burst resistance.
buffing his shield migh be a bad idea. urgot could develop the same issues as
when he was strong. the dude was impossible to take trades with, since all he had to do was press w and auto attack you once to win a trade.
in ugots case it could even be worse, since he has some range. it could reward a playstile where he just sits back in lane and constantly pokes his opponent and just presses w and walks awyay any time his opponent makes a play. to a degree, thats already how he operates.
putting bonus resistances on his e would give him additional defense exactly in the situations where he needs them. like successfully hitting it in lane, or when he goes in on the enemy in a teamfight.
Honestly I never saw Urgot's weakness as his lack of tankiness.
Urgot's main weakness is that riot, in being scared of making a nasus-style juggernaut or something, designed his kit with so much counterplay that HIS ABILITIES LITERALLY PUNISH HIM FOR SO MUCH AS ACTIVATING THEM.
It'd be like decimate slowing darius down by 125 ms during the channel, or additional bleed stacks doing less and less damage; it's absurd.
Of course there's the argument that urgot has more range than the typical juggernaut, but I don't buy it. His autos don't have nearly enough range to allow him to auto melees with impunity or compete with actual ranged champions.
He got omega-cucked out of steraks when it got changed to melee only and he never got properly buffed since then.
