Cho'Gath Counters
Champions that beat Cho'Gath
- Dr Mundotop
Infected Bonesaw (Q) ticks percent-current-HP, scaling brutally with Feast (R) stack HP. Mundo healing-amp build outsustains Vorpal Spikes (E) chip, and Heart Zapper (W) regen tanks Rupture (Q) knockup plus Feral Scream (W) silence trade.
- Fioratop
Riposte (W) parries Feral Scream (W) silence and stuns Cho mid-trade, Lunge (Q) dodges Rupture (Q) knockup, and Grand Challenge (R) vital popping shreds his HP pool. Continuous Duelist's Dance (P) damage out-trades the slow Q windup.
- Gangplanktop
Parrrley (Q) farm range stays outside Rupture (Q) telegraph; Feast (R) execute is point-blank and Gangplank's Remove Scurvy (W) cleanses Feral Scream (W) silence. Chained Powder Keg (E) detonations land from safety and outpace his HP stacking.
- Jaxtop
Rupture (Q) is a delayed knock-up Jax simply steps out of, and Counter Strike dodges the autos Vorpal Spikes (E) rides on. With no dash to leave the recast stun, Cho'Gath soaks Relentless Assault stacks while Jax outpaces his Feast (R) windows.
- Kayletop
Divine Ascent (P) turns her ranged at level 6 (+350 range, 525 total) with fire waves at 11; the damage is magic, so Spirit Visage and Force of Nature bite into it. She wins by staying outside the 950 range of Rupture (Q) — Radiant Blast (Q) is only 900.
- Kog'Mawbot
Feast (R) stacks turn Cho'Gath into a Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) percent-HP target — every auto chunks more HP than Carnivore (P) restores. Rupture (Q) delayed knockup is dodged at Kog's 500+W extended range, and Feral Scream (W) silence is short-range.
- Pantheonsupport
Shield Vault (W) point-and-click stun cancels Rupture (Q) cast mid-windup, and Comet Spear (Q) spear poke bullies Cho before Riftmaker comes online. Aegis Assault (E) blocks Vorpal Spikes (E) auto-attacks during trades.
- Shentop
Ki Barrier (P) shields off the Rupture (Q) poke and Spirit's Refuge (W) blocks the basic attacks that carry Vorpal Spikes (E), which is where most of Cho's damage lives. Shadow Dash (E) taunts him mid-trade and Stand United (R) denies Feast (R) commits across the map.
- Teemotop
Teemo stands beyond Rupture (Q) 950 range, walks back with Move Quick (W) when Cho steps up, and Blinding Dart (Q) cancels his auto-attack trades. Toxic Shot (E) chips to half HP before level 6, and Cho has no dash to close.
- Trundletop
Feast (R) hands Cho'Gath bonus Health, exactly the pool Subjugate (R) drains as a percentage over four seconds. His Carnivore healing cannot keep pace with King's Tribute, and Pillar of Ice (E) puts terrain between them so Rupture (Q) never gets a clean target.
- Twitchbot
Cho'Gath's Feast R stacks pile raw max health on him, inflating the exact bar Contaminate E per-stack burst shreds in one 6-stack cast. Carnivore passive heal cannot keep up with Deadly Venom passive ramping ticks, Rupture Q knockup is dodged via Ambush Q stealth re-entry.
- Vaynebot
Silver Bolts (W) max-HP true damage scales hard against Cho'Gath's Feast (R) HP stacks, melting through his bulk. Tumble (Q) repositions out of Rupture (Q) knock-up and Feral Scream (W) silence cone, while Condemn (E) ends his Vorpal Spikes (E) walk-up auto trade pattern.
Champions Cho'Gath beats
- Dariustop
Rupture (Q) knockup interrupts Apprehend (E) pull animation, and Feral Scream (W) silence blocks Decimate (Q) follow-up. Carnivore (P) sustain matches Hemorrhage (P) bleed, and Feast (R) deals flat true damage (650 at rank 3), not a percent execute.
- Ireliatop
Rupture (Q) knockup catches Bladesurge (Q) mid-dash, breaking her reset chain. Feral Scream (W) silence blocks her Flawless Duet (E) follow-up, and Feast (R) executes her once she retreats below threshold post Vanguard's Edge (R).
- Renektontop
Carnivore (P) sustain matches Cull the Meek (Q) heal in trades, and Rupture (Q) knockup interrupts Slice and Dice (E) stun dash mid-flight. Feast (R) executes Renekton below the stack threshold once Vorpal Spikes (E) burn chips him down.
- Setttop
Rupture (Q) knockup cancels the Haymaker (W) channel mid-cast, and Feral Scream (W) silence shuts down Facebreaker (E) grab setup. Riftmaker omnivamp out-sustains Pit Grit (P) right punch and Feast (R) executes The Show Stopper (R) carrier.
- Vladimirtop
Vladimir has no instant lockdown, so nothing interrupts the Rupture (Q) windup. Feral Scream (W) silence shuts down Transfusion (Q) and Tides of Blood (E) during an all-in, and Sanguine Pool (W) is too short to outlast the Vorpal Spikes (E) max-HP burn.
