How to Beat Yorick as Cho'Gath (Top)

The Cho'Gath versus Yorick 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. Yorick has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Yorick, ranking 15th (versus 22nd for Cho'Gath) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Cho'Gath Top versus Yorick 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 Yorick, 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 Yorick

    • You can cast Smite on Mist Walkers and the Maiden of the Mist to damage or kill them.
    • Try to thin out Yorick's minions before you engage him, Mist Walkers will die from a basic attack or a single target spell.
    • You can attack Dark Procession to break the wall down.
