K’Sante vs Cho’Gath Counter Pick

438 games on patch 16.13.1 put K’Sante at 54.3% into Cho’Gath, a matchup the model grades easy. Two tanks with near-identical opening bulk, 625 health against 644, so the split comes from damage typing and from what each of them does with a long fight.

• Magic against mixed — Cho’Gath’s output is magic, so the 36 base armor and 124.4 at level 18 that define K’Sante contribute nothing to the exchange, and a magic resist component outperforms further plating.
• Feast — true damage passes every resistance on the board, and a successful cast raises Cho’Gath’s maximum health permanently, which makes feeding it on minions a slow, compounding loss.
• Feral Scream — the silence lands squarely on the Ntofo Strikes into Path Maker sequence, and that sequence is where most of K’Sante’s damage is generated.

What keeps the record positive is scaling. K’Sante finishes at 2,665 health where Cho’Gath finishes at 2,242 before any Feast stacks, and All Out sends its target through terrain, punishing a champion whose escape amounts to 345 move speed and the slow attached to Rupture. Carnivore restores health and mana on every unit killed, so denying the wave starves him more effectively than trading blows does. The 9 difficulty rating on K’Sante against the 5 on Cho’Gath is the real cost of holding that advantage.
