[GAMEPLAY] Cho'Gath Model Size Exceeding Bami's Cinder Items Burn Ranges

With Cho's maximum size being increased from 3.5 Teemos to 4 Teemos, his model size can match the range of Bami's Cinder, Sunfire Cape, and Cinderhulk's burn effect. This results in targets not taking damage from the item when he clicks them for an attack normally. I noticed this while testing out his tank build in the Practice tool, and was only seeing about 1 magic damage instance per second on the Ocean Drake when I wasn't casting spells and had E active. Turning off E resulted in the Drake taking no magic damage at all.

Either reducing his size back to the previous value (shared with Zac) or calculating the burn range based on model size would fix this. It seems like 350 was the maximum size for a reason and people forgot what that reason was when they gave Cho his "love tap".

EDIT: On further testing, I was able to attack the dragon without triggering Sunfire at 171 range (342 size), so this may affect a maximum size Zac already. I don't own Zac, so I'm unable to test that case.

Or they could make item 3751 item 1401 item 3068 aura simply extend a flat amount (250-300) from the outer part of a champion, making it so that it doesnt penalize larger champions like Cho, ZAC or naut.

The bigger Cho is, the better. Whatever Riot does, I really hope they don't decrease his max model size.

Stopped Reading at 3.5 teemo's to 4 teemos -.- mostly cause I feel sad that we officially use teemo as a measuring reference

While true, why are you building Bami's on Cho? Sunfire is bad on lane Cho and jungle Cho is garbage.

Would be a buff on some level if you were to increase the sunfire cape range on him. It would increase the surface area of the effect. All of us know that riot would rather rework sunfire cape then actually give a champion specific change for an item so no matter what sunfire is gonna be crap on him.

People here saying you don't buy sunfire on cho because you do ranged damage. I build it on Gnar because it is a good item for anyone who needs resistances and a little bit more of AOE damage.
