Early game (levels 1–5)

You win the opening levels outright: Q Infected Bonesaw sustain plus E Blunt Force Trauma damage let you walk Cho'Gath down before he stacks, and his only answer is a well-placed Q Rupture. Move erratically to bait it, then step in the moment it's on cooldown. Without Rupture he has no burst that matters to your health bar.
