It's where Yorick, Nunu, Cho'gath, Urgot, and Galio all live together.
Alone, Neglected, and out-dated.
The point of this? Update them already?

I wouldn't put Nunu and Cho'gath in the same category as Urgot, Galio, and Yorick.
Cho's problem right now isn't that he lacks power. His kit is fundamentally very strong. He has two incredibly potent forms of AoE CC, very high single target burst damage in the mid game, and a pile of free tank stats. In my opinion, he's still a perfectly good pick against the right comp. His problem is that "the right comp" is pretty rare. He has trouble landing anything on champions with high mobility. If Riot ever figures out a way to actually balance mobility, such that high mobility kits have real trade-offs compared to low mobility kits, Cho'Gath will be strong again.
I would put Cho more in the camp of champions like Viktor, Anivia, Malzahar, Cassio, Ashe, Kennen, Malphite, etc. Champions with strong kits who don't fit perfectly into the current meta.
As for Nunu... he's not bad, he's just low-risk/low-reward. He's still great at bullying weak early junglers, and provides reliable team utility over the course of a game. He's certainly not a flashy champion, but it's easy to underestimate the power of blood-boiling your ADC and ice-blasting theirs. And while his ult is certainly not a reliable source of damage, it can disrupt positioning, and forces teams to burn disruption on a champion who otherwise would be a terrible target for CC.
I agree with DoubleGuac, I would replace Nunu with Poppy. Nunu is still a good champion that sees a lot of play in professional
nunu's kit is NOT healthy.
Cho's kit is FRUSTRATINGLY un-fun.
Poppy... is up for debate.
Cho? Really? Dont do drugs, dude. All of those (except for Urgot) arent alone nor neglected, they might need a visual update but that's all that is needed. Not even sure why a kid such as Nunu should be in an asylum. As for Urgot, all he needs is a couple of buffs to his tankiness and for the travel time on his E, maybe making his Q proc on-hit effects too, and he's done. All the others just need people discovering their potential. EDIT: I just played a game as support Cho. They had the new Sona and Vayne. Through my Q, I could apply pressure on Vayne that few supports actually can - she had to use her Q to dodge mine, so I it used more as a way to disrupt her farming and put her into position for my Ezreal to land skillshots on her. If she tried to engage with her Q, mine would just send her flying away. It's all a matter of thought, really.
Don't forget Morde, Taric, Sion, Poppy, Warwick, and Soraka
