Talk:Cho'Gath/@comment-5211662-20150415183411

I made a post on the BR boards about Cho'Gath's counters, and I listed as one of them. Yes I know that it's a skill based matchup. Some people say that Cho'Gath counters Zed, but on my opinion, it is not that way, because Zed has 3 things that he can use to beat Cho: mobility, itemization, and the fact that he is not extremely reliant on spells, unlike other AD casters.

Zed can use the shadows to dodge Rupture, unless he is silenced first, but it is still very easy to juke a Rupture that is casted close distance. In addition, silence is not as crippling to Zed as it seems; yes he is an AD caster, but his auto-attacks are surprisingly strong and thanks to his itemization, he gets considerable amounts of attack speed, enough to win trades against Cho'Gath. Also, one of Zed's core items, Blade of the Ruined King, is very problematic for Cho'Gath, especially AP variants, which tend to stack a lot of HP but not armor.

Cho'Gath is also forced to choose between rushing Zhonya or RoA, if he rushes Zhonya he can survive against Zed but will not have the sustain needed to push waves, and will be OOM easily.

Of course Zed is not a counter to Cho, as he is very vulnerable to CC, and Cho'Gath can peel a Zed off his carries, the silence is still crippling as it prevents Zed from using his shadows to escape. It is just not as crippling as it is on other AD Casters like Riven or Kha'Zix

However it is a very skill based matchup with a lot of potential from Zed to win this. Not to mention, Zed has superior roaming potential.
