Yes cassio has a similar mechanic but in mid lane 600 range is a joke. it gives enough counter play for assasins and it allows mages to outrange her. 1200 is a much more problematic range and i dont think you can break urgot shield when he is 1100 away from you.

Also you seem to forget cassio DID get nerfed. remember how cassio got buff after buff even after she was ok to play and suddenly riot decided to give her mana problems? you kno when tht happened? after she went to top lane. in top lane 600 range was more than enough so her mechanic was similar to that of urgots so riot decided to give her mana problems so that she would have to go back to get a tear without boots so that bruisers in top lane could wait a little more, come back with botts or phage and stick on her to kill her, which made cassio top dissapear from meta.

Also, I am not saying urgot is op. I am saying he is frustrating to play against and he is toxic.

Lastly, to adress your question about why riot buffed him if they wanted to keep him untouched, the buff was probably targeting top urgot, which is rather less toxic since picks lite irelia can handle him well. however those q's are unbearable for any adc or mage. bruisers can handle it somewhat therefore the buffs.
