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 B among Jungle champions (#26 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).
