How to Use Cho'Gath Counter Data
Every matchup listed here, both the champions Cho’Gath beats and the ones that beat it, is calculated from live ranked Top lane data. At present, LeBlanc, Wukong, and Ornn give Cho’Gath the hardest time, with its lowest win rates in the current sample. LeBlanc is the most difficult of the three: Cho’Gath wins only 41.4% of its 104 recorded games against her. In contrast, Cho’Gath does well against Xerath, Riven, and Katarina, so those are the safer matchups to take on.
Each card displays Cho’Gath’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on. A figure drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more trust than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard labels are derived from the win rate itself, with anything under 48% marked Hard and anything over 52% marked Easy. They’re meant to help you scan quickly, not a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above across all regions on patch 16.13.1, and it updates every 48 hours, so the figures shift as the meta does. For the best items and runes, check the current Cho’Gath build, and for abilities and complete champion details, visit the Cho’Gath champion page.
