Based on 43 recent matches analyzed, Ekko wins with a 51.2% win rate compared to Cho'Gath's 48.8%, giving Ekko a 2.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Ekko controls the early laning stage, but Cho'Gath outscales as the game goes longer.

Ekko has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Cho'Gath's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
