How to play it

Never trade Cho
His base damage chunks you in any trade and his sustain is insane: never fight back.
Poking is futile
Trying to poke Cho down with Kayle just isn't happening: his sustain eats it.
Take PtA, not Fleet
Run Press the Attack so Cho can't ignore you and take plates for free.
Never trade against Cho'Gath early: his high base damage and sustain punish it every time.
