Read from Cho'Gath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
This is Cho'Gath's own plan; across 648 pooled games the lane is leaning Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak level 1 — start Q, deny his last-hits, and don't walk into shotgun range with no combo online yet. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | Purge is a 12-second cooldown at rank 1 and his legs proc Echoing Flames on top - concede the level, last-hit at range, heal off Carnivore. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | He still out-DPSes you in any short trade at 3, so heal the chip with Carnivore instead of forcing a losing exchange. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your Rupture-Feral Scream combo and Vorpal Spikes waveclear stabilize the lane — even it out and trade only when you can land the silence. |
| Level 6 | Cho'Gath | Feast lands: true damage ignores his armour and Disdain shield, and Rupture knocks him out of that charge - punish every commit. |
| First item | Cho'Gath | Your tank-component spike plus Carnivore sustain let you out-last his sustained shotgun DPS in extended trades — force them now. |
| Two+ items | Cho'Gath | Feast stacks make you a near-unkillable teamfight titan he can't kite, but respect his R execute-plus-fear when either of you is low. |
Urgot owns the level 2-3 window: Purge is a 12-second cooldown at rank 1 and his legs proc Echoing Flames on top, so he out-trades you long before Rupture is reliable. Don't trade back into a fresh Urgot - Rupture is a ground-targeted zone he can step out of while his legs keep firing, and Feral Scream is only a 300-range cone, so the silence is wasted unless he has already committed. Last-hit at range, heal the chip off Carnivore, and hold your pattern for his Disdain.
