Learn how to Cho'Gath counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Never start Baron or Dragon when Cho'Gath is alive and nearby — his R (Feast) deals more true damage than Smite, making objective contests extremely risky.
Late Game
When Cho'Gath ganks, avoid being near walls — this makes it harder for him to land his Q (Rupture) and increases your chances of escaping.
Basic Lane Phase
Invade Cho'Gath's jungle after he uses abilities on camps — without his Q and E available, his dueling potential is significantly weaker.
Advanced Lane Phase
Spread out during teamfights against Cho'Gath — clustered positioning allows him to hit multiple targets with his Q knockup and W silence.
Team Fight
Avoid walking through unwarded areas alone when Cho'Gath is missing — his R (Feast) can instantly delete squishier champions with true damage.
Late Game
Engage on Cho'Gath after he uses Q or W — these abilities provide his primary CC, and he's much weaker when they're on cooldown.
Skirmish Team Fight
Focus on pressuring Cho'Gath early game — he becomes increasingly tanky with R stacks, making him much harder to kill late game.
Lane Phase
Use mobility and kiting against Cho'Gath — his large hitbox (especially after gathering R stacks) makes him vulnerable to percent health damage and skillshots.
Skirmish Team Fight
Maintain vision control around objectives when facing Cho'Gath — his objective secure potential with R makes surprise steals particularly dangerous.
Late Game
Cho'Gath's Q animation is visible even in brush and fog of war, giving you a brief window to react before the knockup occurs.
