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 Gragas

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Body Slam (E) stops on the first enemy it meets, minions included.

  2. Get out of the barrel zone fast

    Get out of the Barrel Roll (Q) area right away: the longer the barrel sits on the ground, the more its explosion hurts and slows.

  3. Step up after a missed E

    Step up when Body Slam (E) hits nobody: its cooldown isn't reduced and stays at 14 to 12 seconds.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies: Explosive Cask (R) knocks every enemy away from the impact, which can split you up or send you toward his team.
