Cho’Gath vs Ornn Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the Top lane: Cho’Gath the tank/mage hybrid, Ornn the tank. The sample behind this page is 637 games from patch 16.13.1, and Cho’Gath wins 45.1% of them. That is 5.0 points under even, which is why Ornn is listed among the champions Cho’Gath struggles into.
A missed Feast from Cho’Gath hands Ornn the window to land Bellows Breath. Feast and Call of the Forge God are the two buttons that end the exchange outright.
Shared damage type here — magic for Cho’Gath as well as Ornn. Cho’Gath carries 644 base health to Ornn’s 660, and 38 armour to 33. That 5-point armour gap favours Cho’Gath in the first all-in. Scaling matters as well: Cho’Gath ends on 2242 HP, Ornn on 2513. There is a movement gap too: 345 for Cho’Gath, 335 for Ornn.
This is a melee mirror in terms of reach — 125 versus 175 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
A 637-game window is wide enough to trust the direction, narrow enough to shift.
