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 Teemo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Only close in for a real trade

    Only get close to him to start a real trade: each Teemo auto poisons you with Toxic Shot (E), and the poison keeps ticking while you back off.

  2. Trade after his dart

    If you rely on autos, start your trade right after Blinding Dart (Q): he has nothing left to blind you with during its 7-second cooldown.

  3. Reveal his mushrooms

    Before a dragon or Baron, move in with an Oracle Lens or a Control Ward: they reveal the Noxious Trap (R) mushrooms, which otherwise stay stealthed for minutes.

  4. Call your jungler when he steps up

    Ask for a gank when he steps up in your lane: Teemo has no dash, and only the Move Quick (W) sprint helps him escape.
