How to win lane as Quinn against Cho'Gath · 56.63% win rate over 196 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have weak level 1s, but your range and Harrier reset still edge it — deny his early Feast stacks and set up the Rupture dodge. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | W's attack-speed steroid plus a Harrier auto-leap shreds a Cho who only has his Q knockup — punish hard now. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | All of Q-W-E is online, but a clean Rupture-into-silence can flip a careless trade, so it's skill on the dodge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cho'Gath | You out-trade a stack-less Cho — blind his Q, bait the knockup, and take plates while he can't engage. |
| Level 6 | Cho'Gath | R turns your shove into roam pressure; snowball mid/bot before his Feast HP ever comes online. |
| First item | Cho'Gath | Your lethality/crit spike plus blind still beat a one-item Cho — force the lane and bank kills before he walls up. |
| Two+ items | Cho'Gath | Feast-stacked Cho's true-damage percent-HP R ignores your build and one-shots your squishy frame — never 1v1 him late. |
Cho can't contest you levels 1-3 — he's a slow, melee scaler with only Q's delayed knockup, and you out-range and out-trade him with W's steroid and Harrier resets. Sidestep his Rupture (the cracking-ground knockup): if it misses he can't chain W silence into a trade, and you get a free Harrier auto-leap punish. Don't dive him under tower, just chip and deny his stacks.
