Tips for Playing as Cho'Gath with Annie

Using Rupture on creeps in combination with Carnivore is a good way to gain Health and Mana.

If you're having difficulty feasting upon champions, try eating minions until you're larger.

Try to line up your attacks with Vorpal Spikes so that they kill minions and harass enemy champions at the same time.

Advice to Understand How Annie Will Play

Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.

Is Cho'Gath better when played alongside Annie?

There is no top synergy for Cho'Gath that will always be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Annie is a terrible companion for Cho'Gath. By playing on the same team as Cho'Gath, she drops their win rate by -4.3% to 45.2%. This signals that there is a very bad bond between Cho'Gath and Annie that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Annie has a greater difficulty than Cho'Gath. That means Cho'Gath players should be cautious when arranging Annie allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Cho'Gath players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by bringing Cho'Gath and Annie together, you may not be granting your side a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Annie ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
