Can we please change Cho'gath ult?

Instead of giving 1 or 2 stacks for minion or champion kill, let it grant 100/140/180 stacks or 200/280/360 stacks for each minion or champion kill. Each stack grants 1 hp instead of 100/140/180. On death, you lose half your stacks, as usual, but since the numbers are way bigger you won't feel like you got cheated out of a stack when you die, since you would be only losing 1 hp when it is rounded down, as opposed to 10/140/180. You might get some weird numbers, but it's just a matter code and it definitely won't break the game. The stacks will be capped at 600/840/1080 and any bonus stacks earned on kill will not be included and will just cap at the maximum stacks.

Thoughts?

Sounds a lot like Sion 's W passive. Thing is the point of Chogath 's ult is to give him lots of free hp, but has fair counter-play by making him lose those stacks on death. Change that and the entire mechanic is different and make the ability completely different, besides the true damage.

The ability is exactly the same, the entire mechanic is practically the same....the idea is a good one.

Cho'gath is a ridiculously old champion though and i would have to admit to one thing, his W feels relatively strong and it doing a slow right after the knock up seems a tad too powerful to let him easily get on top of you to quickly Q silence you, auto a few times and then chomp on you with the ultimate. He could at least be due for a kit clean up like several other champions, doesn't need to be a poppy/ryze/taric/yorick tier rework but just enough to where they could say set it up to where he isn't as 'annoying cause he's old type of kit' and more have a kit that works because he times his moves correctly.
