Guide to Synergizing Cho'Gath and Ekko

Tips for Playing as Cho'Gath with Ekko

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 Ekko Will Play

Chronobreak is a potent escape tool, but it can also be quite powerful when used offensively. Don't underestimate its damage potential.

If you can proc Z-Drive Resonance on an enemy champion, it's worth taking risks to do so. The bonus Move Speed makes it easy to escape.

Phase Dive's dash is a great tool for setting up Ekko's other abilities. Use it to get double hits with Timewinder or get into position to detonate Parallel Convergence.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ekko.

Is Cho'Gath better when played alongside Ekko?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Cho'Gath that will always be his top synergy. However, Ekko is a good companion for Cho'Gath. By playing on the same side as Cho'Gath, he improves their win rate by 1.2% to 50.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a good strategic relationship between Cho'Gath and Ekko that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Ekko has a greater difficulty than Cho'Gath. That means Cho'Gath players need to be careful when finding Ekko teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Cho'Gath and Ekko together, you may not be providing your other allies enough sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champions on your team that nullifies this gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Ekko ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
