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 Ornn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from walls and his pillar

    Don't stand near a wall or the Volcanic Rupture (Q) pillar: if he slams into it with Searing Charge (E), enemies around him take a knock-up.

  2. Get out of his breath

    Get out of Bellows Breath (W) before the final burst of flame: it makes you brittle, and his CC then lasts 30% longer on you.

  3. Keep him in combat in lane

    Hit him regularly in lane: while he's being attacked, he can't forge his items on the spot with Living Forge (passive).

  4. Dodge the redirected elemental

    When he recasts Call of the Forge God (R), get out of the elemental's line: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones.
