User blog comment:Dragonfighter118/Urgot better solo top or adc/@comment-5557556-20130415190332

Corki and Urgot were picked as solo top in season 1 very frequently. With season 2 coming came Urgot nerfs and meta game, people stopped playing them on top and kept playing Corki as AD carry and nobody played Urgot.

It is viable and good, but it was once forgotten. Imagine Urgot vs Darius, Urgot would torture him. Also Urgot is a killing machine for Teemo on top. Since he can lob a grenade Teemo can only cry.
