Before level 6 when she steals your spirit, you can E in and trade pretty well. She wins all-ins after level 6, so be sure to get jg help on this one. Laning phase is pretty easy so long as you just dodge her slaps. Not too hard to lane against, just tough to get solo kills post level 6. When you run away after she pulls your spirit and the tentacles start spawning, just use your W and you'll rapidly destroy the tentacle before it can even slap you.
Darius
Tough to trade against. Save your E to run away if you get pulled or you want to block some of his spin damage. I like to play cull and farm until level 9 in this matchup, as you outscale Darius in the midgame unless he's really fed.
Vayne
Vayne is basically just a cheese top laner, but she hurts more than Quinn or Ashe top due to her true damage. Don't play so aggressive in team fights against her if she's in the game at all, even as adc. Respect her damage.
Tryndamere
Pre level 6, if he hits 1 or 2 crits on you you'll lose the trade. Post level 6, his ult straight up negates yours. Not very fun to have in the game against you. I ban him quite often.
Riven
Quite a good matchup for Urgot, especially because Riven mains are used to being aggressive early. However, Urgot's shotgun knees shred Riven in any trade. As long as you play smart, you win all trades pre 6. Level 6, her additional damage makes the lane even, so be prepared to outplay her R cast to win.
Mordekaiser
Use your E to engage and dodge his Q by kiting, you'll win the lane every time. Hitting you with his Q is the only way he can come out ahead.
Aatrox
If he hits his Q's on you, he'll win trades. If you dodge them, you'll win. Whoever is better will win. Level 9+ you gain a slight edge, but same rules apply. I'd also recommend ignite if you really want to win lane/ if you struggle against this matchup. It'll really make your level 6 fighting power a true threat, as an early ignite will reduce the healing he gets from his ultimate.
Garen
New Garen is quite strong, but if he starts using his E to farm you can out-trade him because he wont be able to proc conq. If he goes in to Q, you can negate its damage with E. You outscale him past the laning phase.
Teemo
Just annoying. He can poke you even if you sit under tower, and will just run away if you try to jump on him. Get jungle help and rush mr items. After laning phase, you outscale and you'll be a lot more useful to your team then he will be to his.
Pantheon
Once you understand the matchup, quite easy to outplay. Force him to farm near your tower if you can. When you go in to trade pre-9, E then Q to slow- hold your W until after he uses his shield. Most pantheons will immediately use it in a panic. If you hold it, you'll be able to use it after his shield is down. Post 9, just spam your W into his shield who cares you have infinite machine gun. Great times to initiate are when he walks up to try and stun. Like so many other champs here, you outscale past the laning phase so long as you don't let him get ahead. Build frozen mallet first after bc against him.
Nasus
You beat him in the early to mid-game. Late, he will be one of your biggest threats as he will put out even more damage and healing than you. End the game before 30 minutes and try not to let him Q any cannons.
Vladimir
Vlad is really good right now in addition his blood pool counters a lot of Urgot's main engange/ damage sources. He can pool your ult or your E and is not fun to play against. If he's dumb enough to try and trade after he uses pool or before level 3, you might be able to score a cheeky kill on him.
Dr. Mundo
Getting poked constantly can be annoying, I recommend the tank runes and ignite in this matchup top shut him down early. Jump on top of him and you win every trade. Post level 6 be careful of when you ult him because when he uses his ult and regens a million hp it will actually cancel your ult if he heals above the execute threshold. If you die to mundo you're trolling
Yorick
Your hitbox is so big he'll never miss his E and he'll be able to trap you quite frequently. Popular ban pick, but his pick rate is already really low so up to you if you want to use your ban on him.
Kayle
Like Trynd, her ult also negates your ult. Sort of annoying, but you should be able to out-trade her until ~20 minutes and when she panic uses it to try and run, just spear her in the back when it goes down for the easy kill. Her range gets sort of annoying post-6, but she will shred you at her level 11/16 power spike. Obviously, she scales harder than you
Jax
Stupid champ, thank god they're removing shojin. He beats you in all trades pre-6 unless he misses his gigantic counter-strike on your even larger hitbox. Level 6, call for a gank and you can easily kill him. After he builds shojin, you won't be able to kill him. I like to play cull into this matchup
Fiora
Rush tabis to stop some of her dash+poke combo. I'd recommend tank runes into her unless you want to be hella greedy. Shut her down level 6 and she'll stay behind. Let her dumpster you and there's no coming back.
Tahm Kench
Can be pretty annoying to fight early due to his cc and how tanky he is. Focus on farming and ask for a gank or two after level 6. You should snowball and make him redundant after that.

Ivern
In addition to lots of free buffs, Ivern is extremely good at gank combos with Urgot. Ivern Q allows you to dash within E range, so you dash to them and E+W PLUS Ivern gives you ANOTHER fat shield that pops and does damage- your opponent is double stunned into a super shielded Urgot shotgunning in their face. It's quite a nasty combination. Really great level 2 gank as well. Go to the ivernmains subreddit to try and find a duo partner and watch your win rate skyrocket
Neeko
Fun to cheese with Neeko support level 1, but Neeko support isn't really that popular or viable.
Yuumi
Even more heals on Urgot monkaW
