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 Quinn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her Blinding Assault

    Dodge Blinding Assault (Q): it marks you with Harrier, which empowers her next auto on you, and reduces your vision.

  2. Engage after her Vault

    If you can engage, wait until she has used Vault (E): it's her only spell to push you away, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.

  3. Hit her during her flight

    If Quinn passes within your range during Behind Enemy Lines (R), hit her: one hit makes her lose her speed bonus for a moment.

  4. Ping when she leaves lane

    Ping your team as soon as she leaves lane: after a 2-second channel, Behind Enemy Lines (R) gives her a large speed boost.
