What is Cho'Gath right now?

So I just played a game as Yasuo mid against a Cho'Gath and i was able to solo kill him in lane 4 times. Well, surprise surprise he Solo carried that game. He built full armor and with 3 items had 5k health. So in my time of playing I've been told that the thing that mad Cho'Gath balanced was his ability to be kited, but when he is for whatever reason faster than your team, has thornmail and 3 moves that slow, with an ult that does upwards of 1k true dmg, i fail to see the downside of this champion. He can lose early, build full tank (unkillable), just run at your whole team and basically be tank assassin that can just free farm the adc, without any penalty. I feel that they need to make it so the more health he gets the slower he gets, it only makes sense. ALSO, i bought full items to counter a tank and i still tickled him. Its just unhealthy to the game.

ik this is kind of a rant but i still think there a nerfs that could be done

He's a late game scaling Juggernaut, more or less.

He's broken. Also if you solo killed him 4 times you should've ended the game.

its not really that easy, there are more factors to winning, than just me killing one person, other lanes weren't doing good and i couldn't help that much even though i did try. it is what it is tho, hes busted

Cho'Gath is the only champion that can carry a game without hardly building any offensive items, and that's his niche. The down side is, besides his ultimate, he is probably the slowest carry champion in the game. He turns the game into feeling more like a World of Warcraft raid fight where it's like, "Don't stand in the red circles" and "When he activates Righteous Glory, get one of the Tanks to stand beside him to remove it from him." Sure, he isn't a carry like Twitch that shreds your team in seconds, but he can create situations to where if you don't have the damage to kill him, he will bulldoze over your team since he will eventually kill you and you can't kill him.

Cho'Gath punishes teams who don't coordinate basically. His only reliable way to get to a carry is to either sneak up on them through an unwarded area or use Righteous Glory to dash onto them, which can be stopped by a durable team member simply standing next to him to remove the speed boost from him. As said, he's the pin ultimate raid boss of LoL, and requires your team to treat him as such to win... unless he gets really behind, upon which he is just a slightly scary crayfish.
