As much as I love ChoGath this is insane

10/15 PBE Update

Cho'Gath [Looks like a few Air Client changes - enemy champion kills with R give 2 stacks AND if he kills an enemy unit with feast when he is already at max stacks feast will heal him instead - double heal for enemy champion.] "Ravenously feed on an enemy unit, dealing true damage. If the enemy unit is killed by Feast, Cho'Gath grows in size and gains 90/120/150 maximum Health (maximum 6 stacks). Cho'Gath loses half of his stacks on death.
Minions and Monsters: Deals 1000 (+0.7) true damage. If Feast kills the target, 50% of its cooldown and mana cost are refunded and Cho'Gath gains one stack of Feast. Enemy Champions: Deals 300/475/650 (+0.7) true damage. If Feast kills the target, Cho'Gath gains two stacks of Feast.
If Cho'Gath has reached 6 stacks, killing an enemy unit with Feast will simply heal him instead. The heal is doubled when Feast kills an enemy Champion."

He's already an extremely strong champion. This is far from needed.

I'm guessing it's an issue of satisfaction?

I mean, besides the execute, you -do- lose out on health gains (and therefore heals) when you ult someone with full stacks. I'm sure this isn't the only change headed his way, but I am rather curious as to what they're up to with him

Possibly lowering some AP ratios a notch? I agree with you there, these changes are probably not the only thing to change.

could be that

personally i'd like to see him get a mini-rework, if just to modernize him a little more. mostly cleaning up his vfx and bugfixes

i don't think this will change anything. Gaining 2 stacks instead of 1? all cho gat i faced stacks 6 stacks before fighting. 300 heal if he kills a champion? he has 5k hp 300 hp/5000 is nothing

I don't think the issue is with the severity of the buffs, its more along the lines of why isn't he being NERFED?

Yea but the way to "shut down" cho is kill him and drop his stacks. With this he'll be bouncing right back in no time. Granted I agree that he usually avoids fights till he's at 6 but this is definitely a major buff unless there's going to be compensation nerfs.

The only new things are the heal on feasting above 6 stacks and the doubled effect against champions. Both of which are not too terribly powerful - if Cho kills you with Feast while not having full stacks, you probably screwed up somewhere and gave him an opportunity to use it on you while it is off cooldown. And Feast should NEVER be off CD if you don't have full stacks as Cho.

The heal is essentially a continuation of the effect of getting a stack - you instantly get some HP back. It is only logical that this effect does not vanish when Cho has full stacks.
