Cho'Gath Build Guide
Cho’Gath posts a 50.28% winrate in top lane on patch 16.13.1, with a 2.35% pick rate. Current ranked data also lists mid lane as a viable secondary role for anyone looking to switch things up. Hail of Blades is his keystone, since it front-loads damage to set up his ranked rupture combo.
Level him E first, then Q, then W, with the aim of landing vorpal spikes for clearing waves and trading. Hextech Rocketbelt, Riftmaker, and Dead Man’s Plate make up his core, blending mobile burst, steady magic damage, and durability. The guide below walks through the full item path, rune choices, and matchups.
