Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights at level 3 through superior range and mobility with E root into Q burst, while Cho'Gath relies on landing Q which you can dodge with W clone.
  • From level 6, you win 1v1s when you maintain distance and land E first, as your R damage combined with Q-W combo outdamages his R execute threshold if you stay healthy.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Cho'Gath will likely start bot side for a safer leash and path upward, prioritizing full clears due to his excellent sustain with passive.
  • He typically avoids early skirmishes and focuses on farming to level 6 quickly, so expect him on his second clear around scuttle spawns.

Invade or Not

  • You should invade his jungle after level 3 when you have your full combo available, targeting his blue side camps since he's slower to rotate there.
  • The optimal timing is when you see him bot side, allowing you to steal his gromp or blue buff while using W clone to escape if he rotates.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get caught in melee range without your W available, as Cho'Gath's Q-W combo will chunk you heavily and set up his R execute.
  • Avoid face-checking brushes when he's missing, since his Q from fog of war can lead to instant death if you're below his R threshold.
