About Cho'Gath

Class: Tank
Primary lane: Top

Why this matchup plays out this way

Cho'Gath is a tank, and tanks tend to have well-known strengths and blind spots that hold up regardless of the current patch. Picking a champion from a class that naturally answers tanks gives you a structural edge before either of you has even loaded into the game.
