Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q in ranged form, though Cho'Gath's sustain from passive makes trades less punishing for him.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage but must respect his R execute threshold and increased all-in potential with Q knockup.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q poke in ranged form followed by hammer form E-Q combo when Cho'Gath uses abilities on minions or misses Q.
- Always return to ranged form immediately after hammer combo to avoid extended trades where his sustained damage and tankiness favor him.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain slow pushes and poke from range while Cho'Gath farms, denying his passive healing when possible.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Cho'Gath excels at farming under tower and you become vulnerable to ganks when overextended.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades or all-ins, especially after level 6 when his R can execute you from surprisingly high health.
- Avoid using your hammer form E aggressively without vision, as getting caught without your escape tool against Cho'Gath plus jungle pressure is often fatal.
