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 Sejuani

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her charge

    Dodge Arctic Assault (Q) to the side: enemies it passes through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.

  2. Leave before her second swing

    Get out of range before the second swing of Winter's Wrath (W): it deals most of the damage and slows.

  3. Watch her melee allies too

    With Frost stacks on you, watch out for her melee allies too: their autos apply them, and at 4, Permafrost (E) stuns you.

  4. Don't be first in her bola's path

    Don't be the first champion in the path of Glacial Prison (R): that champion is stunned, longer if the bola comes from far away.
