How to win lane as Teemo against Cho'Gath · 50.2% win rate (504 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Build MR — shroom %HP-poke, blind his autos.
Track: Cho'Gath's R — Feast (80–60s cooldown). True-damage execute. Don’t sit low.
Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cho'Gath.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Rupture is online at Level 1 with no blind or escape for you — minions do not block a ground zone, so dodge by moving, not by hiding behind the wave. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Feral Scream silence (W) plus a Rupture follow-up at Level 2 can combo you before Blinding Dart cancels his attacks — he owns the all-in even though you have Q now. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With Blinding Dart and Toxic Shot online you can start the poke loop, but Rupture is 6s flat and always threatening — trade only in that gap 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 | Even / skill | 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 Dart blanks his Vorpal Spikes if he does. |
| First item | Cho'Gath | 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 | Teemo | Cho'Gath at full tank items and 6+ Feast stacks has a true-damage execute and an HP pool you cannot race in a short trade — but Feast is 175 range, so split behind your shroom net and stay out of melee. |
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.
