A level-by-level game plan for Cho'Gath vs Kassadin.
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.
- Kassadin is usually weak before level 3 — this is your best window to punish them.
- OP.GG data flags Kassadin as a strong counter to Cho'Gath in this role — expect them to look for early trades, so play a touch safer than usual.
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.
- Watch for a burst combo the moment you're caught out of position past the minion wave.
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.
- From level 6 on, Kassadin can delete squishy targets — don't walk into brush without vision.
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.
- Expect roams onto your mid or jungler rather than a straight lane fight — ward flanks.
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 burst items complete, they can kill most targets in one combo — respect their range.
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.
- Play around picks — Kassadin wants to isolate a target before the fight actually starts.
