Cho'Gath's size.
Cho'Gath is big. That is a fact. He is the biggest champion of the league. That is also a fact. One of Cho'Gath's pillars in terms of identity is about how big he becomes. This is the third fact. Final fact: if Riot removed Cho'Gath's size stacks and gave him a regular size, big but not as big as his current, level 16 6 stacked self, he would lose a lot of his character. People would be sad. Like, really sad. I would be sad. I mean, he'd be big, but a lot of people would pick Sion over him.
His size is the subject of this thread. Everyone can agree that Cho'Gath's mechanic of being big brings something unique in the game: this giant monster, crushing and eating. Fighting as/with/against this thing is intense. It's fun.
But...how big is he? How big is Cho'Gath? Like, can we measure that? His canon size? I know he's up for a rework and whatnot, so talking about lore and stuff can be...complicated. But hey, let's have some fun!
So, number one, we can't use the game itself. We can't measure a in-game Cho'Gath, because the size isn't canon in the league: Vel'Koz's size from his cinematic to the In-game isn't exactly the same. There are reasons for him to be so small compared to his true self, mostly because he's squishy and his size would make him easy to target.
So what can we use?
Well...the closest we have is his splashart. The one at the top. Go check it out. Analyse it. Figure things out.
Yeah, it's a mess. In terms of depths, not a lot of the poor Helmet Bros, who we can assume are all of regular size(around 5'7 to 6'3) can be used to compare. Except one. If you look closely, you can notice that the one who is right under him is at approximately the same depth as Cho'Gath mouth. If you compare the two, it's pretty easy to guess that...well...Cho'Gath doesn't even need to open his whole mouth to eat the poor Helmot Bro whole.
So yeah. Cho'Gath's mouth can eat someone whole, easily. Where does that leave us? Well...he's big.
But that's not what we want! WE WANT MORE DATA. Now, let's save me a lot of time: i will not measure pixel by pixel what he is and compare the rest of his body to it-no no no. Here's something more...awesome. A comparison.
Who here has seen Jurassic world? Awesome movie, right? Well, the main antagonist, the Indominus Rex(what a silly name) just so happens to be able to eat someone whole...easily. Doesn't even need to open her whole mouth. Look at the gif at the top, dude! She's massive!
So, since i'm lazy and is quick to jump to conclusions, i decided that yes, the Indominus Rex and Cho'Gath have a similar size, due to their mouths. Yeah, it is a bit of a stretch, but LOOK MORE GIFS
So now that i have you full attention, here's the deal: the real source, the big one, Jurassic World itself confirms that the Indominus Rex is 12 meters long.
"Meters? What are those? How much in AMERICAN?"
Using a simple converters, it seems like the Indominus Rex is 39,37 feet long. So around 40 feet.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS. Cho'Gath is around 40 feet long, if fully extended.
You may ask for autographs. I also do questions, but mostly autographs.
is a walking mountain :)
can be the same size as Cho in-game
