It does a ton of damage, and it slows, and no matter how many times I play against a cho, I can't seem to see any variables that allow me to dodge his knockup. If it gets dodged it's really just luck, so please give opponents something that can use. Where they can see it coming or see it targeted or something.
turn up your graphics settings by like one notch and don't stand in the clearly marked circle on the ground.
Its already a good delay with a crappy hitbox. (spikes clearly hitting but they leave untouched)
Learn to move faster. With basic boots you can stand in the center of the circle and make it to the outside if you react when the circle pops up - not to mention the circle really isn't the entire hitbox, I've been able to stand on the edge but still totally within it multiple times without any effect.
Cho's Q is really hard to land in fact because of the casting time(stomps on the ground) you have to cast it where your target is going to be in 1 second. If you ever see a Cho gath stop to stomp sometimes you can run to him(if your running from him) or a different direction. I will admit Chos Q should not knock up. How does spikes knock champions/etc up. Snare maybe, but knock up? What is this Mario and Sonic? Of course Its possible with enough Move speed to never get landed by his Q. Supports with move items or other high speed champs never get hit by it.
Also as ThatAthesist said its hit box is wonky. Its much harder to hit with it as there are times the spikes will hit champions but they just walk through it.
Get tier 2 boots quickly and waaaalllaa you'll basically never get hit by a q.
I'd rather they nerf his passive. God it's so annoying to lane against.
