A level-by-level game plan for Cho'Gath vs Akshan.
Levels 1-2
Mid lane is short — poke and trades start immediately, respect the stronger level 1-2 kit.
- Cho'Gath should soak poke and hold lane priority through durability, not even trades.
- Akshan is weak early — this is your best window to apply pressure before items come online.
- OP.GG data flags Cho'Gath as a strong counter to Akshan in this role — you can afford to lean into trades early.
Levels 3-5
Roams start mattering — a shoving wave lets you help your jungler or side lanes.
- Look for CC chains that let your jungler or teammates punish overextensions.
- Their auto-attack trades start improving — don't stand and trade without an advantage.
Level 6
Ultimates online — mid laners are usually the first to threaten kills across the map.
- Your ultimate usually turns you into a real engage or peel threat — use it on your terms.
- Not always a big spike for this class — check their item progress rather than just level.
Levels 7-11
Wave management and roam timing win games from here on.
- Front line for your team around objectives so your carries can output freely.
- In skirmishes, look to dive them first — removing their damage usually decides the fight.
Levels 12-15
Core item spikes decide who wins extended trades and skirmishes.
- Tank items complete — you should be nearly unkillable while still landing your CC.
- Once crit or on-hit items complete they out-damage most champions in long fights.
Level 16+
Teamfight positioning matters more than lane mechanics from this point.
- You start most teamfights and decide their shape — landing your engage matters most.
- They're the other team's win condition — focus them or block line of sight in every fight.
