Yesterday, I was playing as jungle against a , and I went 11/1/19 and had over 8000 health and at least 15 stacks on my ult by the end of the game. My build was and I was almost done with my . I was also buying some every few minutes while trying to buy my . That seems broken to me.

He actually is quite weak if you dont snowball and/or people actually counterbuild you.

He has exactly one strenght when played Tank - his single target Melee Ult with tons of CD. It's still fun though walking around with trice the HP of anyone else. x'D

I played an Aram as Cho'gath with rod, abbysal and 2 tank items and I saw our full tank Nautilus did roughly the same damage post game. And I couldnt realistically hit many more Q's. Tank Cho is useless compared to a good tank, full AP is the only way I think. Rather than keep buffing Cho's feast stacks to the point he will become a tank that 1 shots, they should revert the change to his W so against a champ like Ekko Cho can do something other than watch his teams squishie's die. I didn't find cho'gath weak vs immobile champs after the w change. I dont care what Cho's winrate is when people are playing him tank, their are tanks with more mobility and better CC.

Full AP Cho'Gath is stupid. So is tank Cho'Gath. You either end up doing no damage or getting blown up too easily. Hybrid is the way to go. He is a hybrid between the two to begin with, anyway. It only makes sense.

design'wise i see you were aiming for the 'old tank jungle build' which makes use of strong CC measures and what not to secure lane kills and also deny the burst type spaz out junglers any 'hunting eats from eating the enemy jungler'.

We had plenty of champs who made use of such things such as Gragas Sejuani Zac Nautilus Nunu and so on, though nunu's kind of the odd one in those explanations, he still fits the niche of being tankie over the bs that LeeSin and Hecarim exploit to still be super tankie and still able to dish out alot of damage, another reason we need turrets buffed to deny burst type snowballie champions from dominating too much.

It would be super easy if they just tighten up the 'burst window' greatly so we could have a return in 'variety' of strategies, Tank junglers may of been annoying at the harass, but they really had to trade damage, so they could be disruptive and hard to kill, When a champion can easily have both of them and just be drowning in such things, then its just unfun where more off the norm junglers like Chogath Kayle Rumble and so on i can't even really get to see in the jungle anymore, when they used to be such interesting junglers because they worked, but they were also a nice surprise pick compared to the usual B.S. going on.
