Why it works
- Rupture knocks up. Cho'Gath's Q cracks the ground (range 950), knocks enemies into the air and slows them.
- Feral Scream silences. His W silences enemies in a cone for a few seconds.
- Vi chases. Her R dashes to an enemy, knocks them into the air and knocks them down with one hit; her Q drags her forward.
- Cho'Gath's R executes. "Feast" devours the target with true damage and, if they die, makes him grow.
- Two lane tanks. Both have a shield (Vi's passive) or accumulated health.
Weak points: Cho'Gath's low mobility and the short range of both. To verify

|---|---|---|
| 3 | First spike: Q, W and E of both. | A top gank with Vi's Q and Cho'Gath's Q. |
