Cho'Gath is well... OP

title says it all, but i haven't played against one in a while and this Cho, was fed a bit yes... but no single champion should be able to walk directly into a team, make it all the way to the back, knock up AND slow the carry simultaneously, to where they can't get away, and then continue on to be able to two kill them in one hit after doing all the damage from a single Q...

yeah, keep in mind that we are talking about an immobile tank mage with short range and not much DPS. He's weak to anyone who can kite him. If you let him Just Walk to the Back line and nom your carry without even trying to peel, you got a bad team.

IMO. Cho is too strong. he has a lot of snowball potential that a lot of people don't see. but that is just an opinion.

Cho is definitely one of the strongest mid-laners right now, it's true.

All the champs people cry about like LeBlanc, Katarina, or Zed that go mid?

Get stomped by Cho (well, Zed doesn't get stomped quite as badly, but yeah).

There is a narrow window of opportunity you have pre-six where you can kill Cho without jungler assistance. Cho typically has kill potential on his laning opponent for the entire duration of laning phase.

I noticed that these are all Assassins. If I wanted to counter Cho, I would probably pick up a kiting mage (like Ahri) or a Siege mage (like Ziggs) Also Because He lacks DPS, I think he can be shoved real easily. (don't quote me on that. )

Ahri is easy as shit for Cho in lane. The only thing that makes her dangerous is that it's harder to counter gank Ahri than it is to counter gank, say, Katarina. Even if she can kite Ahri, why does Cho have to chase her? He can just farm and outscale her later if he needs to.

Ziggs is better. Champs that constantly throw shit at Cho early on are the toughest match-ups for him, but are still serviceable.

That said, I still don't really consider them too dangerous if Cho plays smart.

Hey, I have a joke for you. Want to hear it? Cho walks into a bar. There's no counter. Get it? Yorick

So you Either a) didn't have vision of him, b) tried to solo him as the glass cannon. possibly both. Either way, you didn't respect his play making abilities.

And Q flash isn't anything new, I clearly remember a Q flash feast kill a Zed in the LCS.

p.s. Cho'gath burned his flash for that kill. That is a cost that your team can exploit.

Sounds like someone wasn't warding, unless this was a wraith camp flash in which case a fid would do the exact same thing except he would have zhonyas to survive instead of a boatload of health. So why complain?

He is balanced. It's just ppl seem forgotten how to play against him. Same asRenekton seems to be on the rising spot again cuz ppl cba to play passive vs him and mark my words 1-2 months and "Renekton op omg nerf" threads will pop up again.
