How to win lane as Teemo against Cho'Gath · 54.09% win rate over 501 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cho'Gath | Cho'Gath's Rupture knockup is online at Level 1 and you have no blind or escape yet — stand behind minions and give no angle for Q to land. |
| Level 2 | Cho'Gath | Feral Scream silence (W) plus Rupture follow-up at Level 2 can combo you before Blinding Shot cancels his autos — he owns the all-in even though you have Q now. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With both Blinding Shot and Toxic Shot online you can start the poke loop, but Rupture still threatens you — trade only on its cooldown and call it a skill window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Blinding Shot max rank and expanding mushroom coverage make his forward steps costly, but Cho'Gath's Feral Scream silence still punishes overcommits — respect his pattern and bank small leads. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Your mushroom net covers both sides of the river and every tribush; Cho'Gath cannot walk up without stepping on three shrooms first, and Blinding Shot blanks his trade if he does get through. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's Torment burn stacks on every poison tick and mushroom hit — his entire Feast HP pool becomes a liability rather than a shield and you freely punish him in the sidelane. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Cho'Gath at full tank items and 6+ Feast stacks has a true-damage execute (R) that deletes you from range and HP you cannot race in a short trade — split behind your shroom net and never let him land Q-W. |
Level 1 and 2 are the danger window — Cho'Gath's Rupture knockup is telegraphed but lethal if it connects, and Feral Scream silence stops you from blinding him out of the follow-up auto burst. Stand behind your minions constantly: Rupture's ground indicator cannot reach you through a wave, and you can freely poison him from max E range while he farms. Never auto-walk toward him at Level 1 fishing for a trade — if Rupture clips you, you die or burn Flash. Once you hit Level 2 and have Blinding Shot available, you can trade on his Rupture cooldown (around 9 seconds early), but only if you are certain Rupture is down and you have W ready to escape his Feral Scream silence window.
