Cho'Gath Jungle Could Use A Small Clearing Buff

Meep Man·Feb 28, 2017·1 votes·640 views

I feel like with the new infinite health stacking mechanic, Cho'Gath almost belongs in the Jungle since he can gain infinite stacks off of epic monsters and can safely gain normal stacks off of normal monsters and ganks. His ganks are not as insane, but he offers absurd objective control, which has been proven to be enough in the past. However, a big issue currently is that his clear time currently suffers immensely. What if his (E) Spikes dealt 50% increased damage to non-epic monsters? That way he can clear the Jungle a little more quickly and not suffer so much early game.

I would really like Jungle Cho'Gath to be good because, as well as all the reasons listed above, he makes for a fun little mini-game in the Jungle to where he is this giant T-Rex, Godzilla monster that can counter jungle the enemy and forces the enemy to ward their own Jungler in fear of Cho'Gath's mighty R.

The mana gate on Cho is absolutely fucking bananas. For such a trivialized aspect of champ balance in the past few seasons, the champs who still have mana gates are held WAAAAAY back. It makes them unfun to play as. I loved Cho jungle, but now you can't even clear one half of the jungle without going OOM.

A change to his spikes would be a good way to mitigate that.

Good. To be honest, more champions need actual mana gates. #Makemanamatteragain

I don't disagree-- it works. The problem is it has been regulated inconsistently, and older champs have not been brought into line with new and reworked champs.

I dont think so, his clears are fine, they really are.

How much AttackSpeed do you use? And ever tried an E-Max? (I highly recommend AS-Marks and at least 2 points in E)

item 3115 as well as item 3091 (depneding on your buildpath - I prefer Tank-Cho) are great Items! OFC you usually dont want them as first or second Item - but you can easily throw in a dagger or two while shopping to build it as a third. ^^ (Although getting those 20% asap seems quite delicious right now =P)
