Cho'Gath Counters

The top champions globally to counter Cho'Gath include Xayah, Kai'Sa, and Ziggs. These champs are all great at countering Cho'Gath with win rates over 58%. Even if these Cho'Gath counter picks are not chosen in your lane, it's not a good idea to choose him into these matchups. They will often crush Cho'Gath.

Yet, if the other team brings either Tahm Kench or Lillia, you should seriously consider selecting him, as he easily wins against these champs with win rates over 53% against each ofthem.

Prioritize Early Game: Cho�Gath, depending on the matchup, is often weak in lane. Champions with a strong early game are particularly effective against him. In the initial stages, play it safe and focus on securing your farm rather than seeking out fights.

Evade his Q Ability: Cho�Gath's Q has a broad range but can be challenging to land against champions equipped with dashes or escape abilities. Mastering your champion�s mobility can greatly enhance your ability to dodge his Q and reduce his crowd control potential.

Exploit His Ult's Cooldown: Cho�Gath's Ultimate R, when used on a minion, has a lengthy cooldown period, during which he loses a significant portion of his potential true damage. If you observe him using his Ult on a minion, use this window to engage him more aggressively.

Utilize Highly Mobile Champions: Cho�Gath tends to struggle against highly mobile champions and ADCs in team fights, as he can easily be kited. Picking champions with high mobility can help you evade his attacks and counter him effectively in team clashes.

Monitor His Power Spikes: Cho�Gath's damage and survivability drastically increase after he shops for his first component item. Be wary of his enhanced trading potential at this stage. His kill pressure also significantly escalates at Level 6, 11, and 16.

Surviving Mid to Late Game: As a strong scaler, Cho�Gath steadily grows potent as the game progresses due to his Ultimate R's stacking effect. If he begins to pull ahead, focus on playing safely, securing your farm, and seeking opportunities for coordinated attacks with your team.

Capitalize on Objective Play: Cho�Gath often uses his Ultimate R to secure objectives. If you notice his Ult is on cooldown, try to contest the Dragon or Baron, thus denying him the opportunity to secure these benefits for his team.
