What are some tips for the Chogath vs. Aatrox matchup?

Building tanky against Aatrox is smart. Early, throw 2 points into Q to get an edge when he tries to all-in with E then Q hits. You can definitely contest him early and just focus on scaling with Grasp autos. Hit 3 items and you outscale. A good W late game can shut him down. Anti-healing is super good against him.

Against Dr. Mundo, avoid his Q poke early and late. Hit him with your Q to remove his passive, makes him easier for jungle ganks. Anti-heal gets real good once he hits Lvl 6. Early boots are also smart to avoid getting stat-checked by him once he hits that Lvl 6 spike.

Aatrox	Very Hard	217	52%	-539	-588	Building tanky against Aatrox is smart. Early, throw 2 points into Q to get an edge when he tries to all-in with E then Q hits. You can definitely contest him early and just focus on scaling with Grasp autos. Hit 3 items and you outscale. A good W late game can shut him down. Anti-healing is super good against him.
DrMundo	Very Hard	198	42%	-394	-1195	Against Dr. Mundo, avoid his Q poke early and late. Hit him with your Q to remove his passive, makes him easier for jungle ganks. Anti-heal gets real good once he hits Lvl 6. Early boots are also smart to avoid getting stat-checked by him once he hits that Lvl 6 spike.
Renekton	Very Hard	177	51%	-536	-516	Renekton is a tough matchup. He can pressure you hard early, and you will lose lane just as decisively as you would against Riven. While you outscale him, it's not as dramatically as with Riven. Whenever he W you, Q on top of yourself. He wins both short and extended trades early, so keep that in mind. Buy armor early, as armor hard counters anything he does. W him late, whenever he engages on you/your team to deny a W Stunlock Combo.
Jax	Favored	175	60%	-169	+220	Q yourself whenever he Q's you, you don't win before Lvl 6. You hard snowball this matchup IF you get to kill him once. Lvl 6 you should be stronger. Keep his passive stacks/R passive stacks in mind, as he won't trade before stacking both up. Most importantly, get used to his E cooldown. If he has no E, he hard loses EVERY trade. If he has E, he hard wins every trade if you miss Q.
Mordekaiser	Very Hard	175	51%	-426	-660	Whenever he casts E, Q him. Whenever he casts R, wait for the Realm to arrive and then Q him immediately. Always keep his W Shield Meter in mind, you won't be able to trade him if it is full/almost full. Hourglass is real strong into him late, as you can "wait" out his R. FoN makes him not be able to kill you.
Fiora	Very Hard	169	41%	-504	-1782	Fiora is a notoriously difficult matchup, fundamentally counteracting Cho'Gath's kit. Never Q before you W; she'll parry it with W and use it against you. Walk against a wall whenever her passive mark is on you, if she can't proc it consistently, her damage goes way down. Perma ban this champ.
Sion	Hard	164	56%	-324	-308	If he goes AD, the matchup is real easy as you just Q him during his Q. If he goes Tank, it's a lot harder, be aware of his W damage (it does max hp). Always try to hold either Q or W for his Q. If he does R you, Q on top of yourself. AD Sion will always look for a Minion E into R Combo, be aware of that. Q HIS PASSIVE AND HE IS USELESS IN IT. Always keep an eye on sidelane, he'll always push sides and win the game through it. ALWAYS PLAY TP INTO HIM.
