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

Fighting on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by bringing Nidalee and Cho'Gath together, you will not be providing your side enough crowd control. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Cho'Gath ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
