How to play it

Punish his Q
His Q, Rupture, is his only opening: punish him hard whenever he disrespects or misses it.
Starve his mana
Cho's main weakness is his mana costs: make him waste spells and regen with your W melee passive; he can't.
Deny his E
Vorpal Spikes (E) is his most cost-efficient spell: don't let him farm and poke freely with it.
Never let him sit safe and conserve mana: force him to spend it, since he can't regen and you can.
