Playing as Cho'Gath

  • Try to line up your attacks with Vorpal Spikes so that they kill minions and harass enemy champions at the same time.
  • If you're having difficulty feasting upon champions, try eating minions until you're larger.
  • Using Rupture on creeps in combination with Carnivore is a good way to gain Health and Mana.

Playing against Cho'Gath

  • Purchasing a few HP items decreases the chances of Cho'Gath killing you quickly.
  • Focus on preventing Cho'Gath from reaching his max size.
  • Rupture has a smoke cloud indicating the area it will strike. Try to watch out for it to prevent Cho'Gath from being able to combo his abilities.
