How to win lane as Cho'Gath against Teemo · 49.8% win rate over 504 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Teemo can blind your level-1 autos with Q and poke with E while you have only Rupture and no sustain edge yet. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | At 2-3 his Q blind and stacked E poison out-trade your single Rupture before Carnivore heals enough to matter. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By now Carnivore sustain and Rupture's slow let you farm through his poke and contest trades to stabilize the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your Rupture knock-up into Feral Scream silence holds the lane even, but his kite and blind keep it skill-dependent. |
| Level 6 | Cho'Gath | Feast comes online — a true-damage execute that ignores his low HP and turns any step into Rupture range into a kill threat. |
| First item | Cho'Gath | Stacked Feast HP plus a health item let you facetank his poke, and Feral Scream silences his Q so you shove him under tower. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | His R shrooms zone chokes and objectives and his Q blind shuts off your engage, so he reclaims the lane on the open map. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Teemo and you have to respect that. His Q blinds your autos so a telegraphed Rupture followed by Vorpal Spikes empowered autos does nothing — the blind eats both the basic and the cone proc — and his E poison chips you faster than Carnivore heals it back before your kit has ranks. Do not chase: you have no gap-closer, and his passive move speed plus the blind mean you eat poison for free if you walk up. Last-hit with the tip of Rupture, soak the poke, and concede these stages.
