Cho'Gath vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Cho'Gath aims to survive Kled's early aggression and scale by farming safely and using (Q) and (W) to control space.
Manage medium lane pressure by denying Kled easy engages and avoiding extended trades before (R) stacks build durability.
This is a scaling versus snowball matchup; Cho'Gath must outlast early all-ins and become a durable front line.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q) on predictable enemy movement around minions and follow with (W) silence only if Kled commits.
Punish missed (Q) tethers by stepping forward for short trades before Kled can remount or use (W).
Avoid trading when (Q) or (W) are down to reduce vulnerability to Kled's burst and engage.

Danger windows

Beware (Q) pull followed by (W) burst autos, especially before level 6 and without tank items.
Avoid prolonged fights near Kled's remount timing when he can regain health and turn trades.
Respect (R) engage path and shield, disengaging from his charge to prevent forced all-ins.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting near minions to set up (Q) knockups and short control trades.
Avoid long early trades before reaching level 6 and tank items to minimize Kled's burst impact.
Use passive sustain to stay healthy through Kled's early poke and all-in attempts.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to execute low-health targets and secure stacks, increasing durability and lane threat.
After multiple (R) stacks, position as a front line forcing Kled to kite through (Q) and (W) zones.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 all-in power spike and level 6 (R) engage; avoid extended trades when these are available.

Win conditions

Survive early aggression by using (Q) and (W) for short trades and passive sustain to reach level 6 safely.
Stack (R) kills and minion executes to become a durable front line that punishes Kled's all-ins.
Control space in teamfights with (Q) and (W), forcing enemies through your zones and enabling objective executes with (R).
