4.6Cho'Gath
5.2Vex

Damage
978Cho'Gath
1,073Vex
Vex heavily out-damages Cho'Gath by 95 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 Vex's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,382Cho'Gath
12,434Vex
Cho'Gath generates a commanding 948 more gold per game than Vex. This substantial economic advantage means Cho'Gath consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
2.5Cho'Gath
1.3Vex
Cho'Gath brings significantly more crowd control than Vex, with 1.2 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
2,100Cho'Gath
696Vex
Cho'Gath vastly out-sustains Vex, healing and mitigating 1,404 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Cho'Gath can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vex is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Vex, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
