Farming
4.1Master Yi
4.0Cho'Gath
Master Yi and Cho'Gath farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 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
952Master Yi
825Cho'Gath
Master Yi heavily out-damages Cho'Gath by 128 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 Master Yi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,054Master Yi

Master Yi generates a commanding 1,146 more gold per game than Cho'Gath. This substantial economic advantage means Master Yi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.1Master Yi
2.1Cho'Gath
Cho'Gath brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 2.0 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
1,089Master Yi
1,859Cho'Gath
Cho'Gath vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 770 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Cho'Gath can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Master Yi is forced to recall.
