right now i can see cho gath filling in the role that gragas left off , a strong ap bruiser that can have a lot of cc . when i watch old lcs and worlds games , cho seemed to be a hightly contsted pick , so why did he fall off ? right now he is so versitile (full ap (that 1:1 ap ratio q ) bruiser , full tank , atack speed ) and i would love to see the big guy back in competivive play

Sometimes champions just come back. Jayce was not a common pick at all and suddenly he is back in the meta. Perhaps, the same thing will happen with Cho.

No real poke, high mana costs, easily to focus down early game, susceptible to dives.

So is mundo but people still pick him and cho brings better CC and argubly better damage to the fight. He can easily even built full tank with ap one shot a ADC with his Q,E,R combo.

But mundo has more survavibility with his ult right? I'm pretty sure he'll push towers faster too.

Cho needs to get in range for QER and that'S his ult, his CC and his positionning just for a kill. I still don't see trading as well as what other mage and tanks bring to the table.

All in all, he could come back, right now I think other champs have better mix than he offers.

WRONG

Because people have not tried the new ancient golem on him yet. 4k with just a warmogs, golem, and feast stacks is borderline disgusting. If only Vayne didn't exist.

In my experience, Cho is rather easy to outplay unless you're either a god with him or against bad opponents.

No real mobility and completely reliant on landing his (easy to dodge) Q.

If you can land Q he's good, if you can't he's useless. I would imagine he doesn't get picked often because other picks are easier to play, yet offer more just as much (if not more).
