Playing Urgot tanky with a bit of damage and getting the supportive tanky items feels suprisingly good. I recently took Exhaust Teleport toplane against a Yasuo. While the matchup against Yasuo might be more Flash-less forgiven when exchanged for Exhaust then in other matchups, it does make you extremely hard to take down in lane. That together with his passive and ult cripples the enemies damage so hard.

Because I wanted to invest heavely in the resolve tree, I got Bond of Stone as my keystone, mostly to have a greater impact later into the game. Sure 4% damage reduction isn't allot for a solo lane, but it's something. I could also have taken Grasp of the Undying, but I thought I'd let my team do the work for me by making them survive longer.

I leveled my shield up a few ranks, then continued maxing Acid Hunter. Maxing my shield first whilst also building a Glacial Shroud early does make laning allot more forgiving.

My build ended up being boots, Iceborn Gauntlet and Black cleaver for CDR, damage and stickyness. Then I got Knight's Vow and Locket to realy become a battle tank that can soak up damage for allies. Last item I planned on getting Sterak's Gage, but I think something in the lines of ZZ'rot to apply pressure to turrets might also help.

It feels realy good to deprive your enemies of damage whilst you absorb further damage from allies with items.
