Cho'Gath tips and tricks
When ganking a lane, try and use your Q behind the enemy rather than on their current location to make it harder for them to dodge it.
Wait for the marker to show before pressing your Ultimate R. Do not use it unless the marker appears.
Find a healthy balance between using your Ultimate R on minions, monsters and enemy champions.
