Quinn vs Cho'Gath

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn should use her ranged poke and high mobility to pressure Cho'Gath early and deny him safe scaling farm.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Quinn must leverage lane pressure and roams to prevent Cho'Gath from becoming a durable front line.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) and autos, then back off before Cho'Gath can retaliate with (W) or (R).
Punish Cho'Gath when he moves predictably for minions by landing (Q) blind and follow-up damage.
Avoid extended trades especially if (E) is down, as Cho'Gath can capitalize with his silence and knockup.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) and (W) are up, as his knockup and silence can set up lethal combos.
Avoid engaging when (E) is on cooldown, as you lose your primary disengage tool against his all-in.
Ping and punish Cho'Gath's roams by hard pushing waves and taking plates; roaming him is risky due to his low mobility.

Early game

Use (Q) to blind Cho'Gath when he tries to last-hit, forcing him to miss farm or take poke.
Hold (E) to disengage from (Q) knockup and (W) silence attempts.
Crash waves quickly to create roam opportunities with (R) before Cho'Gath hits level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to roam and create map pressure before Cho'Gath stacks health and becomes tanky.
After first damage item, increase harassment on isolated targets while keeping (E) ready for escape.
Respect Cho'Gath's level 6 (R) execute window; avoid low-health trades near his execute range.

Win conditions

Use Quinn's ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Cho'Gath last-hits and prevent him from scaling health stacks.
Crash waves to enable (R) roams, creating side-lane pressure and forcing Cho'Gath to respond.
Maintain spacing with (E) to avoid his crowd control and convert lane pressure into kills or objectives before he becomes tanky.
