Can we Talk About Cho, for a Sec?

Alrighty ya'll-- So here I am, Orianna mid, right? There's a Cho mid lane. I know about Cho, I've seen him...but never have I faced him mid (I'm new to mid. Bot lane main). I've played him once. But wasn't for me. So why am I writing to you?

Level 5 I look at his AP and HP. It's double than mine. I did not die at this point.

He got his spikes first at level one, and although I think I am farming well and poking him, I notice my HP is pretty low. The spikes. They have range. Things get tricker and I crack a health pot. Later on it seems impossible to do much. He has twice as much CS because I can't get too close to him, if I do he silences me or knocks me up when I try to get distance.

All I'm saying is that for me, or other mages mid lane, it's silly to go up against a champion who has so much AP and health. It's almost impossible.

I think we should give the spikes a mana cost, so at least one of his abilities isn't as harmful. He has a overpowered passive in general. The passive on the spikes gives him a range AND a buff??? That's just madness. And literally hard to deal with.

The toggle thing isn't good. Make it a regular use ability, OR If you will keep it that way, please have it cost mana, like Singed's poison trail. Or reduce the range and just buff his aa. He has too many buffs in hit kit, and it's pretty hard to deal with for mages.
