Playing as Cho'Gath

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Aim Rupture where they're going

    Aim Rupture (Q) where your opponent is going, not where they are: the area knocks them into the air and slows them.

  2. Silence after the knock-up

    Follow a successful Rupture (Q) with Feral Scream (W): the silence stops them from casting spells, dashes included.

  3. Charge your spikes before a trade

    Cast Vorpal Spikes (E) before a trade: your next 3 autos launch spikes that slow enemies in front of you and deal damage based on their max health.

  4. Eat as soon as Feast is up

    Finish with Feast (R) as soon as it's up: each kill gives you permanent max health, but minions and non-epic monsters only give a limited amount.

Playing against Dr. Mundo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Infected Bonesaw (Q) hits the first enemy, and it's his only ranged spell to slow you.

  2. Save your best CC for later

    If you have several CCs, lead with the least valuable: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) lets him resist the first immobilizing effect.

  3. Don't focus him during his R

    Don't keep hitting him during Maximum Dosage (R): he regenerates part of his max health for the whole duration and gains move speed.

  4. Target his carries in teamfights

    In teamfights, target his carries rather than him: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) gives him far stronger health regen than normal.
