How to Play with Kai'Sa as Cho'Gath in LoL

The Cho'Gath Kai'Sa synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Kai'Sa, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Cho'Gath sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kai'Sa. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change could signal that Kai'Sa does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Cho'Gath is played with Kai'Sa on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Kai'Sa.

Additionally, when Cho'Gath plays with Kai'Sa on the same side, he usually receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage could mean that Kai'Sa does a poor job of covering Cho'Gath during team fights.

Is Cho'Gath better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no top synergy for Cho'Gath that will no matter what be his best teammate. Yet, Kai'Sa is a very bad companion for Cho'Gath. By locking into the same side as Cho'Gath, she decreases their win rate by -4.6% to 44.9%. This demonstrates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit synergy between Cho'Gath and Kai'Sa that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Kai'Sa has a greater difficulty than Cho'Gath. That means Cho'Gath players must be cautious when finding Kai'Sa comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting together, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. When paired, these champions will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Although, by grouping Cho'Gath and Kai'Sa together, you may not be giving your other teammates a great deal of utility. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Kai'Sa ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
