Statistical Matchup Analysis

Yone dominates the meta (14th most popular, 4.4% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Cho'Gath (3.0% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of top lane's current powerhouses. Silver lining: While Yone's 47.5% overall win rate (55th among Top) struggles in the current meta, this matchup against Cho'Gath offers a bright spot for dedicated players. Optimize for consistency: Lethal Tempo paired with Triumph (60.4% win rate, 2.5% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Blade of The Ruined King > Infinity Edge > Immortal Shieldbow with Berserker's Greaves delivers 61.6% win rate against Cho'Gath.

Lane dominance: Yone not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (6.78/min vs 6.31 for Cho'Gath). This 0.47 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Complete superiority: Yone dominates both win rate (51.7%) and damage output (875 vs 714/min, 2nd among Top). The 161 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Yone wins the matchup (51.7%) despite a lower KDA (1.50 vs 2.00). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Cho'Gath as Yone (Top)

While statistically Yone is slightly stronger than Cho'Gath in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Yone 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.

An important advantage of Yone is higher farming statistics (ranked 23rd among role champions) (versus 35th 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 1.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

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

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