Ideas to make Gentleman Cho'Gath a truly "legendary" skin

GibIets·11/28/2014, 1:38:16 AM·144 votes·8,388 views

As many of you know, Cho'Gath is in dire need for a visual update, and he also has a particular Legendary skin that is not so legendary compared to his other legendary skin, Battlecast Cho'Gath (Which visually and audibly is superior in almost every way) I made this thread to input my ideas for his eventual VU. These ideas most likely will be ignored by riot but it is fun speculating.

My ideas for gentleman Cho:

Q is a dining room table

W is him spitting out tea (or wine, if root lets it be)

E is assorted cutlery (knifes forks etc.)

After securing a kill with ult or using taunt he pulls out a handkerchief and wipes his mouth from his recent meal, and comments on the quality of his snack For example, he eats baron nashor, securing the kill and says something along the lines of how it was chewier than he expected, and perhaps unique interactions with jungle creeps and maybe even certain champions.

His recall could be akin to him in his splash, relaxing in his chair and taking a sip and swirling his wine.

I posted the on reddit a while ago and just moving it here for some more input and hopefully a red reply

Those are some of my suggestions and I hope you enjoy them as well and input your own ideas!

Edit: User roosterbega gave an awesome input:

*I DO NOT WANT THE BEAUTIFIED SPELL EFFECTS

I'm sorry to shout but I feel this needs to be voiced clearly. I think the dinner wear spell effects would ruin the skin kind of thematically for me and make it kind of stupid. I enjoy the whole civilized, but still very much a monster, feel the skin gives right now. Where would this table and all this cutlery even be coming from, it makes no sense? And though I'm not against the idea for w it would ruin the VO lines he has currently. Why would you be demanding quiet while you spit out tea? Maybe he could spit out tea when he dies?

I'm thinking the skin could be brought on par with legendary skins not by changing the spell effects but by giving him more animations and gentlemanlyness. Have him smoke his pipe while standing around, prepare some tea and read a book while he recalls, and the handkerchief idea that has been mentioned for feast is definitely something enjoyable to think of. Despite all the good manors though Cho should still be a monster, and not a badly done British tea time joke.*

He has convinced me otherwise that this legendary should be unique compared to the rest. I want this legendary to stand out from the others!

EDIT 2 no red replies on the front page for a day... Amumu

Gentleman Cho'Gath is BEST Cho'Gath!

Give Cho'Gath a pinky finger so he can be classy.

Going back to the whole commenting on minions/champion he's Feasted on thing, this is something I've done in game from time to time for a while now so I've got a few. Typically they will be something along the lines of:

"Mmm, Spicy": Annie, Brand, Shyvana "I do enjoy a good fish": Fizz, Nami "A very 'light' taste": Diana, Ezreal, Leona, Lux "A salad before the main course": Maokai, Zyra (Zyra plants) "A two course meal for the price of one": Lulu, Nunu, Sejuani "That was quite exotic". X (name an animal) is quite tasty": Cassiopeia (Snake), Nasus (Jackal), Rammus (Armadillo), Renekton (Crocodile/Alligator), Rengar (Tiger), Skarner (Scorpion), Teemo (Rat), Volibear (Bear), Warwick (Wolf), Wu Kong (Monkey).

The following aren't things I say in game but could also work for the skin:

Upon using a potion or elixir "I do enjoy a good drink"

Upon buying a Thornmail "They dare hit me?"

Upon buying a Rod of Ages "A cane worthy of a true gentleman"

Upon purchasing a Randuin's Omen/Frozen Heart "Patience is a virtue you know?"

Upon reaching 6 Stacks "I couldn't eat another bite" "I'm positively stuffed"

I can't express how much I want this to happen. I adore this skin and Cho but gosh he needs that VU bad and I think this would be a beautiful way to push him to the next lever :3

When I saw the word "legendary", I thought you were going to say something about making him hit on Rek'Sai or something.

I had to log in and support you guys. The fact that this skin cost 1975 whatever rp it is, it lacks of ability particles and such. I do not play Cho'Gath nor own Gentleman Cho'Gath, but I want these ideas to come true! just to make Gentleman Cho gath even to other legendary skins.

And of course special interaction when he devours Teemo.

i like it all but the recall...that wold only be cool if he was supporting for lucian -.-

It's not gentlemanly to spit out tea; make him breath out smoke from his pipe instead~

LupusNox11/28/2014, 2:32:29 PM2 votes

I love it

I don't really know about knifes and forks for E

Maybe make it so that he is throwing money? Like he's such a gentleman that he is throwing paupers to the poor

Also, when He ults Teemo and gets the kill, his face turns green for a couple seconds and he says "I think I might be sick. That little fellow is has the most atrocious taste to him."

The recall animation like the splash, I really love that

Hrud11/28/2014, 9:04:54 PM1 votes

Gentleman Cho'Gath definitely needs special quotes for when he eats specific monsters ( and perhaps champions!) and some new, champion specific interactions in jokes and taunts.

No need for new effects on the skills, though some new recall and idle animations would be nice.

Now here's one of my favorite pieces of LoL fanart ,because why not:

He should be able to tip his fedora

TheDirtyMango2/25/2015, 8:49:45 AM1 votes

All you guys adding new quotes for him ought to realize it would be better to just make Connoisseur Cho

i agree, i got this skin but i want the abilities to look more better. Riot please update him.
