What Dark Star Cho'Gath lacks for perfection

Sancre··1 votes·1,317 views

Cho'gath was always a likely candidate for Dark Star, but now that the skin is done, is superb in many ways, from the model, a bit meh at first, but it evolves and gets better and better the more it grows, and not forgetting the gorgeous recall and even that updated joke that gets him a high five from the Dark Star itself everytime it gets used.

In my oppinion this skin could use 2 things to be as near to perfection as it could without it being 4 things Jhin

  1. in the recall Cho goes into a portal, but it doesn't come out of one during the spawn back at base, this could be a pre-release issue that would be solved soon, but it's worth noting

  2. When the enemy gets devoured, the corpse should disappear, like it happen with Urgot's ult, that leave no corpse, and even with Fizz's ult whose shark eat the whole body of small champions, no matter the size, these champions are being devoured by a black hole. If it was to be kept simple, with the corpse disappearing we are golden, if it was to be made fancy though, the corpse vanishing into dust and flying towards Cho's black hole would look beautiful

I'm not sure if this is the correct subforum to post this, but no other seems to fit, and it might get some visibility before they get it out, its not like there isn't any time to update this, as the skin will come out next month and stay until August

A dead champion remains where it is as an indicator of where the champion died. The disappearance of the body serves as a visual indicator that the champion is alive again.

Additionally, all champions have specific death animations. A skin should not override this regardless of its theme.

You are quite right in that, but right now not only Fizz's ult make the body of some yordles disappear, as they are eaten by the shark, but there is also the Heartsplosion and Orbital Strike icons, that create a custom death animation for those that are killed by someone that has it equipped (albeit just in Urf), so I wonder if having a body disappear sometimes in a match because Dark Star Cho'gath devoured them would be that bad.

As a note, i have yet to see anyone using the corpse of another champion to determine if it's dead or alive, even more now that there are timers that anyone can check by looking a bit over the minimap
