Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Cho'Gath's superior range, sustain from passive, and ability to disengage with W silence.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R's burst and defensive stats, but Cho'Gath's R execute becomes dangerous if you're not careful with your health thresholds.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q to gap close when Cho'Gath uses abilities on minions, then immediately activating E to dodge his Q knockup while auto-attacking.
- You must disengage quickly after the E stun to avoid extended trades where his sustained damage and silence punish you.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Cho'Gath easy Q poke and force him to overextend for CS.
- Avoid hard shoving as this gives him free Q harass and allows him to sustain with his passive on your minion wave.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use Q aggressively without E available, as Cho'Gath can easily land Q knockup followed by W silence, leaving you unable to trade back effectively.
- Never all-in when you're below 60% health post-6, as his R execute combined with full combo can surprise kill you even through your R resistances.
