Jayce vs Cho'Gath in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.16. The one thing to respect: cho has almost no kill pressure — his Q (Rupture) is his one opening, so respect it and punish the misses. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Punish his Q

His Q, Rupture, is his only opening — punish him hard whenever he disrespects or misses it.

Starve his mana

Cho's main weakness is his mana costs — make him waste spells and regen with your W melee passive; he can't.

Deny his E

Vorpal Spikes (E) is his most cost-efficient spell — don't let him farm and poke freely with it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let him sit safe and conserve mana — force him to spend it, since he can't regen and you can.
