Cho'Gath, the Terror of the Void, is a tank and mage champion of medium difficulty. Across our 980 analysed ranked games, Cho'Gath is mostly played in the Jungle (56% of its games), and more rarely in Top (35%), with a 50.1% win rate in that role: tier A among Jungle champions (#11 of 48, ranked by win rate). Cho'Gath's damage is mixed (20% physical, 50% magic): stacking a single type of resistance is less efficient against this champion. 30% of that damage is true damage and therefore ignores resistances. Win rate varies with game length: 55.7% in long games (over 35 min, 70 games) versus 39.9% in short games (under 25 min).
Averages measured over 549 Jungle games played with Cho'Gath, from our ranked Solo/Duo data collection.
Cho'Gath is a tank-mage who grows: he regains health and mana for each unit killed, and Feast makes him grow by increasing his max health if it kills its target. Rupture knocks enemies into the air, Feral Scream silences in a cone and Vorpal Spikes slow.
