Cho'Gath and Rengar farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage

898Rengar
Rengar heavily out-damages Cho'Gath by 189 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Cho'Gath should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Rengar's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy

This substantial economic advantage means Rengar consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.9Cho'Gath
0.5Rengar
Cho'Gath brings significantly more crowd control than Rengar, with 1.4 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Cho'Gath far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,765Cho'Gath
1,058Rengar
Cho'Gath vastly out-sustains Rengar, healing and mitigating 707 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Cho'Gath can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Rengar is forced to recall.
