should cho gath be a tank meat shield or an ap caster???

Hotaru is Waifu··1 votes·3,263 views

what is he meant to be? is he supposed to be a huge tank with cc and be an unstoppable wall or be an ap caster who does tons of dmg but cant face tank an entire teams rotation. Riot your need to make up your mind you cant have both, the way he is not is unacceptable he is a full tank who is able able to do 1000+ true dmg while having easily 4000+ hp he needs a hot fix and Riot needs to decide how this champion should be played

cho is an AP juggernaut

cho dont do 1000+ true damage normaly ....

to do 1000+ true damage he would need to be lvl 16 with 3500 bonus hp.

his damage out put is 60% magic damage , 20% true

name 1 juggernaut with hard CC (stun, knock-up, snares), outside of Cho

why I'm saying this? because this stupid class according to riot's own stupid classification is supposed to have: low mobility and no hard cc so that they are scary when they are up close to you, but can't get up to you to easily.

item 3800 mitigated some of that problem Cho having hard cc cleared the other problem

jwebb01131 votes

he has 1 cc his Q with is a skill shot with a delay

Serika Zero1 votes

cho gaths easily get 3500 hp and can farm up and munch minions at late game adcs have no more than 1600 hp the enemy adc needs to be poked a little and he can flash r to munch them

jwebb01131 votes

how do you normally deal with slow moving big hp targets as an adc?

oh and what is the counter to true damage?

the answers are use your range and kite.... and build hp or idk a GA ...

he isnt walking up to people and doing 1700 damage just pressing R.

most of his kills comes from being in melee range after using his knock up and silence to get you to lower hp to execute with the R

i think he is too high

What makes you think he can't be both?

Hotaru is Waifu1 votes

i didnt say he was doing 1700 dmg by pressing r lol hit ult does 1000 normaly during mid game and what hp items are adcs gonna get to not ruin their dps to other champs and he shines in team fights where he can use item 3800 to run up on someone and stop all their dps because they have to deal with a 3500 hp cho that can do more than half their hp with r and when he pops item 3193 hes not able to be killed so you have i think he should either be doing a lot of dmg or reduce his ult dmg and give him better cc he seems like a mix between burst mage and tank

He's a Juggernaut.

He's very tanky and deals lots of damage, but he's extremely telegraphed and slow. Anything Cho'gath does can be avoided and outplayed, but Cho doesn't have any outplay potential of his own.

if cho gath is both is super tanky and can munch more than half of a carries hp with a click of a button i see a problem

Hotaru is Waifu1 votes

the problem is cho cant be bursted down easily when he extends even if he doesnt land anything he can walk up and munch a champ for more than half their hp if a mage taps you with one spell he can nuke you because adcs dont normally get more hp than 1600 1700 by late game

jwebb01131 votes

if he is walking up to you then walk away from him

Hotaru is Waifu1 votes

he has a few tools to get to you item 3800 summoner 4 and if your carries have to run away from a cho diving into the team its a problem they cant hit any important targets while hes walking into your adc the enemy carries get to beat on defenseless tanks and if the tanks try to cc cho gath to stop him thats cc being used on a tank instead of a carry

jwebb01131 votes

right cuz no one else has flash or chained cc or dashes and other escapes

Hotaru is Waifu1 votes

lol just wondering if you were smoking some of that good shit

Hotaru is Waifu1 votes

i dont think you are understanding what im if a cho runs into an enemy team there is little a team can do other tanks cant do 1000 true dmg with one button he doesnt even need to kill the carry juts make them walk away from the fight so the tanks gets killed by the carries without having to worry about the other teams carry

jwebb01131 votes

he isnt a tank

he is an ap juggernaut

Hotaru is Waifu1 votes

{quoted}

he isnt a tank

he is an ap juggernaut

but juggernauts need to build some form of dmg to get going cho is a full tank champ that nukes with his r cho is not a juggernaut

jwebb01131 votes

ok GAREN his ult does damage even if he dont build damage

darius ult has true damage

mundo full tank build does a good amount of damage

and if you look at cho's average damage per game its about 15K which is low ... considering any type of damage or carry champ is all above 20K per game or more

Alex h87211 votes

Lmao, the cho gath circle jerk still going i see? When he had the interaction w/ stoneplate and could get 1.8k feasts i agree that was broken, but right now he's mostly fine.

jwebb01131 votes

yet people are gonna cry cuz he does damage...

they cant seem to understand all champs do damage

Alex h87212 votes

The thing that really ticks me off, they always call him a "tank" but he is absolutely a juggernaut. He has all the things a jug has, good sustain (passive), low mobility, and high damage if he gets to melee range with you, can be kited fairly easily.

People mistakenly call him a "tank" because thats what he builds, but he lacks things tanks are supposed to have, which is some mobility, more reliable CC, and oh yeah ANY defensive steroids. But im pretty convinced the boards really don't care about the facts, they just want to complain.
