How to Beat Cho'Gath as Renekton (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Renekton deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Cho'Gath 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 Cho'Gath, ranking 22nd (versus 49th for Renekton) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.0 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

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

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Renekton player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Cho'Gath player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Renekton tips:

  • Slice and Dice excels at harassing maneuvers. Slice in, follow up with another skill and then Dice back out to safety.
  • Cull the Meek drains an enormous amount of life when used in the middle of the fray. You can use this to bait opponents into thinking you are weaker than you really are.
  • Cooldown reduction is especially good for Renekton, allowing him to both quickly build up and use his Fury.

Playing Against Cho'Gath

  • Purchasing a few HP items decreases the chances of Cho'Gath killing you quickly.
  • Focus on preventing Cho'Gath from reaching his max size.
  • Rupture has a smoke cloud indicating the area it will strike. Try to watch out for it to prevent Cho'Gath from being able to combo his abilities.
