Rational thought on chogath
Generally when it comes to laning with chogath, i find him to be on par fair to lane against in the early stages of laning, of course his passive is pretty obnoxious when he heals off minions dying. but thats okay, he is a tank and i respect a passive as such.
I am an akali main, recently, hmmm about a month ago, i vaguely remember absolutely dominating my lane. i belive i was 5 kills in while he was pretty far behind. i made sure to stay top lane because i knew i needed to keep him at a disadvantage at all times. i went tanky as well, my build was this.
and with an AMP tome working towards my void staff, this was around 18 minutes with 3 items while chogath had just built his first half way on his second. I started to remember that i was being pushed back into tower even with a great lead. Mid game comes and im losing my lane. hes built stone plate, he now has a fairly large amount of health, im confident i can kill him under tower. i go in, i Q, wait, R, AA, he silences me, knocks me up, vorpal spikes me, then stone plates and i die to his R with 664 true damage from his R.
Whats really bothering me is that i feel like if lanes, Mid and bot are equal, Top lane will ALWAYS favor chogath in the late game, If his R scales off health. in the end he should be able to win against most matchups,
maybe thats an unfair thing to say, of course theirs games where he will lose lane, but if someone knows how to play chogath, a main for example. they shouldnt lose lane ever.
So what do i think about chogath right now,
I think its unfair for chogath to have his R stacks scale on health, but i mean, okay, fine. hes to deal true damage, he needs to contribute in some way as a tank.
THIS is my problem, When stone plate is being used on chogath, and Ults, thats the problem i have with this champion.
The interaction with stone plate and chogaths R needs to be reviewed once more. Stone plate shouldnt contribute to his true damage when he ults, it should just make him so he doesnt die so fast (if thats possible)
TL;DR Stone plate is a problem on chogath, its not the champion itself, its stoneplates interaction with Chogaths R.
Just like awhile ago where
was broken on all these support champions. The champions are fine, its the items that are making the champion way too obnoxious. in this case, its stone plate and R chogath.
Thank you. i wanted to be reasonable here, and not just be like "cho is a monster, cant die ever, you die," etc. i tried seeing both sides of why he needs to be the way he is to be relevant, and see the side of whats making him utterly strong.
