Overall, Lux sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Cho'Gath. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Cho'Gath.

Additionally, when Lux plays with Cho'Gath on the same team, she typically receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Cho'Gath does a poor job of protecting Lux during teamfights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Cho'Gath?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Lux that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. Yet, Cho'Gath is a very typical teammate for Lux. By locking into the same side as Lux, he decreases their win rate by -0.4% to 49.4%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong synergy between Lux and Cho'Gath that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Cho'Gath has a lower difficulty than Lux. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Cho'Gath allies to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Combined, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by grouping Lux and Cho'Gath together, you may not be giving your other teammates much AD. Plan to pick other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Cho'Gath ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
