Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Teemo (3.7%, 22nd place out of 62 Top champions) regularly faces Cho'Gath (3.5%, 23rd place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Dark Harvest + Cheap Shot combination (57.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Nashor's Tooth, Malignance, Liandry's Torment, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 44.2% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Teemo's superior farming (7.11 vs 5.72/min, 15th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 1.39 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Teemo outputs more damage (963 vs 716/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Cho'Gath: leads in both matchup win rate (55.8%) and KDA (2.00 vs 1.70, 15th vs 46th place). Teemo players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Cho'Gath as Teemo (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.

The magic damage that Teemo deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Cho'Gath has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Teemo is higher farming statistics (ranked 15th among role champions) (versus 56th for Cho'Gath), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.0 versus 1.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

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

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Teemo 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.

Teemo tips:

  • Teemo's mushrooms can be used to farm creep waves very effectively.
  • Place your mushrooms at key locations on the map, such as by the Dragon or Baron Nashor, to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them.

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.
