Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cho'Gath.
This is Yone's own plan; across 1,742 pooled games the lane is leaning Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone-favoured: Cho's delayed Rupture can't punish your L1 walk-ups. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Yone-favoured: you Q-poke and contest CS freely before he has his Q-W lock. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: a landed Rupture at 3 can chain his combo, so spacing decides the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Cho-favoured: Soul Unbound is still 19s here, so you can't reset every trade. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Cho-favoured: Feast is true damage at 80s, and your E is still on 16s. |
| First item | Yone | Skill: first crit item outraces his sustain on a fat, immobile target. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone-favoured: late-game crit DPS and R shred him faster than he can retaliate. |
Cho'Gath has no way to punish your walk-ups at 1-2: Rupture is delayed and dodgeable, and until he has both Q and W he can't lock you, so you contest every CS and Q-poke him freely.
