@Riot, why are you overloading Cho'Gath's ult so much?

First, the cooldown is halved upon unit kill, which was definitely nice, but now we're adding an additional heal component to it? AND it gives him double stacks on champ kills?

'You really know what skill Cho'Gath needs a buff on? His Vorpal Spikes.

You know, the toggle-that's-really-just-a-second-passive-that-you-never-turn-off? If you want to cement Cho as a tanky frontliner, give it a defensive steroid, similar to (BUT NOT COMPLETELY LIKE) Rammus' Defensive Ball Curl.

He could get some on-demand armor / MR or tenacity as E's active. Actually, you know what'd be even better? Trample unit collision, like Alistar's (terrible) passive. Because of course it makes sense for Godzilla to trip over a minion that's the size of his big toe.

And please, don't give me the excuse of 'he'll be too strong!!" when you have champ after champ coming out with a minimum of two passives. Please, give Cho love in the right ways; adding more to his ult isn't helping.

He already heals on his ult when he has 1-5 stacks; gaining the stack immediately gets you that bonus health. It's like how Gnar's transform heals him. The only thing new is that he heals at 6 stacks in addition to healing at 1-5. Which IMO isn't that big a deal.

The heal on ult never really meant much against champions anyway, since normally once you kill them, you stop taking damage and just back. Maybe in a gank gone wrong, but normally you just get the heal as a little extra sustain while farming. Remember, that's true now; the change just lets you get that sustain at 6 stacks, and 6 stack Cho'gaths normally don't waste their feast on minions.

Honestly, I'd be a bit more concerned about double stacks off champions. Cho'gath is already a snowbally lane bully, and now his kills on you are worth double.

Chogath really should have unit collision damage. A champ that does damage by walking on you is a perfect fit for Cho'gath
