I think soloque in most mobas have the harshest critics, speaking of which, here's a story from a few days ago:

6/1/0 Caitlyn WTF is that troll build Cho 4/4/0 Chogath The build I normally build item 3078 item 3116 (EDIT: nvm I only had these 2 items) Caitlyn LMAO That doesn't work in high elo scrub dies immediately after pressing enter because he/she/it right-clicked into lane and is now 6/2 Chogath Uh huh, "high elo", meanwhile you are lower rank than me and neither of us are high elo (Plat5 vs Gold3) Caitlyn Doesn't matter, I'm still doing better than you Chogath Thresh gave you like every single one of your kills, ekko's camped for you and I've been tower dove dove 3 times 0/1/6 Thresh This is true

20 minutes later

7/8/0 Caitlyn gets caught and 1v1'd by enemy Draven who came back 11/3 lmao, cho so useless Ahri Don't even try cho Chogath engages entire enemy team 1v5 at baron pit, steals baron via flash ult, goes ham, only Lee Sin survives by flashing over wall QUADRA KILL 15/4/5 Chogath item 3078 item 3116 item 3111 item 3110 item 3053 item 3001 Useless huh? Thresh Ekko The god Ahri nvmgj

end of game stats: Me: over twice as much damage dealt as Caitlyn, most damage taken in entire game, most gold in entire game Chogath Troll build huh? It worked, credit goes to a Diamond player, higher elo than all of us Caitlyn stfu noob, reported enjoy ban

TRUE STORY

This made me laugh! And good luck in your future matches too! Hmm... Maybe I should tryout that build for Chogath since I have him. Is it a fun build? Seriously is it fun?

I have yet to get into ranked because of this (sad) possibility and my runes need some major help still.

It's hilarious and unexpected because of the mixed damage, fairly flexible, hella fun because people expect Cho'gath to be a big CC tank, or an AP assassin/bruiser, NOT an auto-attacking mixed damage bruiser. You can splitpush hard and out-duel almost anyone sent after you except for those really tanky duelists, keep summoner 12 handy to jump into a teamfight and obliterate the squishy enemy carries.

The original build was: item 3078 item 3116 item 3111 item 3110 item 3102 item 3151 , more focus on magic damage The build I modified it from is more physical/mixed damage based largely because in that particular case we had 3 (4 kinda with Thresh) AP champs and our Caitlyn started losing momentum so I modified it for the game and figured I may as well also take Abyssal for extra defense vs magic dmg and to do a bit more myself because Sterak's Gage hp and shield are very powerful already

The build I picked gives like 4.6k HP, 190+ armor and 140+ MR, I mix things up and take some AD masteries with AP to maximize mixed damage. You're not a super-tank like "normal" cho'gath but you're still really tough to bring down as long as you aren't the one trying to initiate and be the main frontline

Original inspiration (3 months old sadly, theory for some items is the same) http://www.solomid.net/guide/view/120517-chogath-build-guide-apc-jungle-fighter-by-jiggaflip I think when the author gets back to updating, he might see the power of item 3053 as at least a situational item because that thing is hella strong on Cho'gath with item 3078 because he has the 2nd highest base AD IN THE ENTIRE FREAKIN GAME

Only "weakness" is you lack the chunking power of AP Chogath in return for sustained damage and your team will probably hate you if you're not carrying...like that stupid inflexible Caitlyn

Void NargacugaSep 25, 20151 votes

Yeah that does make sense that you CAN'T chunk people... But that's what you traded for sustained "I'M IN YOUR FACE! OM NOM!" Chogath . Being flexible and trying new things out can be really good. Or just plain fun! Yeah I gotta say that Caitlyn was the fun police in that match. Get it? Cause Caitlyn is a cop! That was a bad pun... Maybe.

One time i built these on Gnar because I did some research into his abilities and how they scale, but mainly because I can't play as a Tank to save my own life, let alone anyone else.: item 3071 item 3116 item 3146 item 3065 item 3056 item 3512 My damage output was really funny too! Oh look a tank 1, 2, 3 hits! Max rank Hyper damage: 50 + 14% targets max health (+100% AP)

Or when I used GNAR! (at max rank) on a wall: 600 (+30% bonus AD) (+75% AP)

Plus all the healing I get from the item 3146 + item 3065 combo! They underestimate the power of off-tank fighter Gnar

Upside: Good damage (IMO). 40% CDR for Boomerang express deliveries! Downside: SUPER EXPENSIVE TO GET TO FULL BUILD! NOT A TANK! T_T But its so fun to play! Plus I'm kinda BAD at playing the Tank Role.

A Dream build I have for Malzahar is: item 3071 item 3116 item 3146 item 3040 item 3174 item 3512 its just a fun build idea honestly... Though I did put a LOT of thought into making it.

I'll definitely check out that link!

This proves that item 3078 can be built on anybody with success. http://media.giphy.com/media/cu5OjF8FxHDSU/giphy.gif

You are your own worst critic... unless you're playing a competitive game.

WTF dude why aren't you playing this completely perfectly like I totally always do? I'm only not in Challenjour because of stupid noobs who can't let me carry!

DazedOnlookerSep 23, 20151 votes

I'm probably that noob that unintentionally breaks your back when you try to "carry" yet make it a secondary goal to tell me about how much of an idiot i am at any given time for any reason. but i should listen because your carrying k.

I build mana, the tankiness just kinda comes as an accident. item 3003 , item 3027 , item 3025 , item 3190 , item 3800 , item 1332 . Sadly there is no Magic Resist + Mana item, or else I would build that instead of locket.

Unholy Grail.

kile147Sep 23, 20152 votes

That's mana regen, I want straight mana for his passive and for the archangel active.

RalanrSep 23, 20151 votes

Realized it as soon as I posted.

Wouldn't having mana regen be helpful for consistently powerful shields?

kile147Sep 23, 20152 votes

Yes, but Archangel's regen+ ROA passive usually keeps you pretty topped off. It's not like Blitz spams his entire kit a lot anyways, he fishes for hooks for awhile, then drops his entire kit when he catches something.
