How to Beat Renekton as Cho'Gath (Top)

The Cho'Gath versus Renekton matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Cho'Gath deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Renekton deals mainly physical damage (77.84%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Cho'Gath is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 49th for Renekton), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Cho'Gath Top versus Renekton Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Cho'Gath player to maintain constant pressure on Renekton, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

    Cho'Gath tips:

    • 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 Renekton

    • Pay close attention to Renekton's Fury gauge as that will usually signify when he is about to attack.
    • Keeping Renekton from being able to fight and gain Fury by continually harassing him will severely reduce the effectiveness of his abilities.
