Countering Cho'Gath - Complete Guide

Best Counters:

• Dr. Mundo
• Sett
• Ornn
• Singed
• Irelia

Effective Laning Strategy:

• Track Cho'Gath's position constantly to avoid his Q (Rupture) and W (Feral Scream)
• Trade frequently to counteract his passive health sustain
• Start with Corrupting Potion and build anti-healing items (Morellonomicon/Executioner's Calling)

Mid-Late Game Tactics:

• Avoid solo roaming when Cho'Gath is missing from map
• Maintain distance between teammates during teamfights to avoid multi-target Q
• Never attempt Baron/Dragon when Cho'Gath is alive (his R outdamages Smite)

Key Power Spikes:

1. Level 6: Gains true damage ultimate (Feast)
2. Late Game: Becomes extremely tanky with stacked ultimate
3. Ability Cooldowns: Most vulnerable when W and Q are on cooldown

Counter Tips:

• Build early anti-healing items
• Focus on early game advantages
• Spread out in teamfights
• Contest his farm to delay tank scaling
• Coordinate with jungler for early pressure

Worst Matchups vs Cho'Gath:

• Gwen
• Aatrox
• Yone
• Vayne
• Rumble

Remember to adapt your build path based on whether Cho'Gath is building AP or Tank, as this significantly affects your itemization strategy.
