Can Full AP Cho Gath get toned down a bit?

I don't think being able to one shot you and being a full tank with one item is fair.. Chogath + item 3027 = unkillable tank with cc, waveclear, and true damage.

Well, Riven is a pretty squishy champion when she can't use her shield, such as when she is CC'ed. You didn't purchase any health and his feast bypasses the Hexdrinker shield, so you were really squishy.

Besides, Cho'gath wasn't tanky with only a Rod of Ages. He had Ninja Tabi and Frozen Heart as well, when you had no armor penetration. Honestly, no one on your team had Void Staff or Last Whisper, so you didn't really have a good way to handle him.

Cho relies primarily on skillshots to do the majority of his damage. It just so happens that Riven relies on her bazillion dashes to escape, and when you're silenced you can't exactly use them which makes you a prime target for his Rupture.

If he uses a Q and misses, punish him for it.

There's a slight delay where you'll see Cho pause before the circle for Rupture even appears... When you see him stop, turn around for a moment instead of running directly into where he's placed his Q.

As a bonus, here are a bunch of champions that are a pain in the ass for him:

Fizz Hecarim Irelia Maokai Renekton Nasus Rengar Shen Swain Vayne Warwick

Or you could take advantage of his really slow and obvious abilities with long cooldowns. The only things in his kit that are hard to deal with are his silence and his sustain. And I guess E can be annoying if maxed.
