Thank you, Cho'Gath looks really nice now. As much as I love the old Cho, giant green eyes and all, this makes me happy.

Good work.

Yes, I too enjoy washed out colors and a bland palate. Vibrant colors are so 2012 amirite?

Feel free to downvote me now.

UNF. Thatta way boys. My inner masochist is quite satisfied. I look forward to having this "conversation" again in three years time when they they want to change the color pallet from grey-scale to binary.

Vibrant colors are fine. Color vomit is not. And it was very fair criticism to say that LoL was color vomit back then.

Vibrant colours were one thing, but old Cho'Gath looked like a bright blue and red spot. This version of Cho'Gath looks a bit more threatening.

I think it just highlights his voidly origins more. Purple is love. Purple is life.

I think that's a testament to how overdone the colors were in the previous version.

And that testament lives on in Gentleman Cho - still has his base colors underneath (or at least much closer.) I'm not sure how that would work out with the community though. If you change it people may rage over changing a classic skin "it's not what i bought! i want a refund!" but if you don't change it "this is supposed to be a legendary! why does it look so bad?" So... I honestly don't know what Riot should do. Because ~50% of the community will be pissy no matter what.

They're kinda stuck with that for any decision, really. There are always complaints.

I think that the colors are way better now. the old ones were kinda just weird compared to any normal creature you'd see irl or even acompared to another void creature. Now the colors look alot more realistic, and provides and actual texture. just my point of view though :)

Cho'Gath was such an iconic champ, one of the last designs unchanged since game released.

I was half-hoping they would never update his texture, just for nostalgia's sake.

BLU MedicMar 14, 20151 votes

Part of me hoped that too, but sometimes we should embrace a bit of change. Ideally, I'd like a Traditional Cho'Gath, when his visual update ever comes out.

I played him in Howling Abyss about a week ago, and I kinda new this was coming. I'm happy with it, but I think it looks kinda beefy. Although, it looks much better than the current over-saturated model. THANKS RITO

That moment when one of the only skins i have in this game is Nightmare Cho

And now the default skin looks 10 times better than the skin itself .

Battle cast cho gath is one of the best skins in the game imo.

All Sion skins have this problem now.
