AP Scaling on Cho Gath Q should be reduced

Vah Naboris··1 votes·631 views

It's 100% AP scaling, knocks up, and is AOE, not to mention it just got a mana cost buff. His kit also has an AOE silence which also scales with AP, and the new percentage max health E. Might not be a problem early game or laning, but afterwards when he builds righteous glory or stone plate and has a few stacks, one Q will cause your carries to either die instantly or have to recall. Or they'll fall victim to the 1k true damage. Cho's passive is a free doran's ring and then some so sustaining in lane won't be a problem.

Other champions who scale 100% with AP top lane will either never build it or never max that ability first: Patheon ult and W, Fiora W, Yasuo E (I think, I'm not sure his scaling) etc. It should be maybe 75%-80%, definitely not 100%. One or two AP items followed by full tank (or more AP, as a Cho in my game just demonstrated, and then went tank), is a recipe for disaster for those playing against it.

He is a tank but I see what you mean, it gets way out of hand with stone plate

I hate Cho as much as the next guy, but it's his E and ult scaling that needs nerfs, not his Q. Its damage is high, but it's also extremely telegraphed, with both a cast time and a delay before it actually lands. Unless you're affected by other CC, a simple pair of tier 1 boots should make avoiding it fairly simple.

they just nerfed his E from 4 percent to 3 percent, i guess we got to get it to 1 percent right? or 1.5 percent?

It shouldn't do % damage at all. It should be flat damage.
