Cho'Gath vs Talon Matchup Summary

The Cho'Gath vs Talon matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Cho'Gath's 25.0%, giving Talon a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Talon dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Cho'Gath players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Cho'Gath leads by 2.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Talon has a strong advantage in this matchup. Cho'Gath players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Talon overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Cho'Gath heavily out-damages Talon by 173 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Talon 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.

Sustain
