35050%-82+738Ornn outscales you and will win trades against you. Try to time your Q with the end of his W. Silence him around the time he would R2. You can easily predict his E, so just Q yourself whenever he does engage. Be careful of his full combo if you don't have MR. Dealing with Ornn as a tank can be demanding for Cho.

Champion Portrait of Garen
Garen
Very Hard
31850%-146-816Against Garen, be wary of his R burst damage late game. To win early trade, Q him once he's in Q animation, afterwards quick trade with E and dodge his E damage. Keep in mind, his W tenacity also works on your silence, don't get baited by that. Go swiftie into him.

Champion Portrait of Malphite
Malphite
Easy
28848%+280+1,210Malphite is the easiest matchup for Cho. You win every trade, you can't get poked out of lane and you win side later on. Play demolish so you can farm plates into him.

28748%-144-322Q 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.
Champion Portrait of DrMundo
DrMundo
Very Hard
27545%-133-821Against 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.
Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Very Hard
26443%-718-1,054Building 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.
Champion Portrait of Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser
Very Hard
25243%-666-1,084Whenever 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.
