Chogath Top slipped from B to C tier in Patch 26.14. A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At C tier, Chogath is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Chogath Top games. The hardest matchups this patch are Sett (44.2% win rate for Chogath) and Mordekaiser (47.6% win rate for Chogath): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Malphite (53.8%) and Renekton (53.2%) are the matchups to look for, where Chogath wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
