Favour timeline — the windows in Cho'Gath's game plan

Read from Cho'Gath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Camille.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1CamilleCamille is a weak level 1 with no real combo yet — you both start slow, so deny her last hits and hold Q to set up the lane on your terms.
Level 2CamilleHer Q empower plus Tactical Sweep heal out-trade you before Rupture is back, and a wall-dash E stuns you mid-fight — concede the wave and farm at range.
Level 3CamilleShe has the second E charge and the W outer-edge heal to win every short trade here while your Q-W combo isn't fully online yet.
Levels 4-5CamilleA pre-item Camille still out-duels you with her hookshot mobility and Tactical Sweep heal — only fight when you land Rupture first.
Level 6Even / skillEven with Feast up she edges the lane: her heal and E mobility let her trade in and dash out before your execute lands.
First itemCamilleHer Sheen-line spike plus the W heal pushes her extended-trade damage past your tankiness — respect every E engage on your wave.
Two+ itemsCamilleCamille keeps scaling: Tactical Sweep's outer edge deals percent-HP true damage off your own health pool, so your Feast stacks can't simply out-sustain her into the late game.

How to beat Camille as Cho'Gath: the early game

Camille's pressure early is the Q empower plus Tactical Sweep: she empowers an auto for bonus true damage with Precision Protocol, then carves you with the outer edge of her W to heal off the trade before your Rupture is back. Her E only stuns when she dashes off a wall, so don't hug terrain that lets her wall-dive you — and don't throw Q at her on cooldown and get caught flat-footed. Hold Rupture as a counter for when she commits E or wall-dashes in, so you can Q-knockup into Feral Scream and shut the combo off. Eat last hits with Vorpal Spikes from max range, lean on Carnivore sustain, and accept that levels 2-3 are hers until your kit comes online.
