Cho'Gath vs Samira Matchup Summary

The Cho'Gath vs Samira matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play.

Damage
878Cho'Gath
698Samira
Cho'Gath heavily out-damages Samira by 180 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Samira should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Cho'Gath's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,679Cho'Gath
11,116Samira
Cho'Gath earns 563 more gold per game than Samira, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Cho'Gath slightly faster item completions.
Utility
3.0Cho'Gath
0.1Samira
Cho'Gath brings significantly more crowd control than Samira, with 2.9 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
1,210Cho'Gath
636Samira
Cho'Gath vastly out-sustains Samira, healing and mitigating 574 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Cho'Gath can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Samira is forced to recall.
