| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — his Q Rupture range offsets your superior auto trade. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | At level 2 you lead once you have Q plus a point to zone his melee CS. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3 favours you as Q leg-zones and W shred punish his walk-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 even out — Feral Scream's silence cancels your Purge. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | At 6 your R execute beats his HP-stacking, ignoring his big pool at low health. |
| First item | Urgot | First item keeps you ahead as Sunfire/Cleaver out-trades his slow silence. |
| Two+ items | Cho'Gath | At 2+ items Cho'Gath's Feast stacks, base HP and R true damage flip the duel. |
Level 1-2 is a skill lane: Cho'Gath's Q Rupture out-ranges your poke but you win the auto trade if he steps up for CS, so play the minion line and dodge his telegraphed knockup.
