Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my questions. Ive noticed that even if I'm the only one on my team warding I'll be the only one not dying. What I also noticed is that simply changing the build order on you're guide based on who I'm landing against can win me my lane. Ive had so ap carries solo top and even though i wssnt used to it, rushing the abyssal scepter would win the lane. Thanks again for replying and i love the guide. Btw new cho skin is sick :)

It may seem like a obvious thing to change your build order or modify it to beat your enemy laner and then enemy team but this is something that a lot of people just don't get.

A good example was a recent normal I played where my team trolled me and I had to take Cho mid. I used the same build mid because ap burst cho is just too risky 9 out of 10 times. I had a fizz mid and a nunu jungle, I rushed my merc treads and then scepter and absolutely rolled the enemy team not because my build was especially strong against the rest of them but simply because I won my lane so hard I was a fed beast.

That is where people really fall off, too many people forget you have to try and build against the jungler too. Your main focus is winning your lane but you can't do that if the jungler keeps coming to your lane and touching you funny because you aren't built against them at all.

Hey there, good job on the guide! It really gave me a good start after putting Cho away for a long time! The recent buff made me playing as Cho again, and i was VERY lucky to do so. The build with RoA, Abyssal and Frozen Heart made a good core, althogh i like Wits End and Atmas instead of Rabadons and Lich Bane. I like my autos do about 350 dmg (roughly, with elixiers even more), and with less ap ur still able to nomnomnom full hp-squishies very easy. With these autoattacks and more resistances form wits end and atmas i feel i do better in lategame as a bruiser, who can 1on1 or even 2on1 almost every champion. especially when enemies start stackin mr...

+1 for the nice guide though!!!

What about changing lich bane or rabadon's for Archangel's Staff ,with the mana bonus of frozen heart and rod of ages it would give some good ap boost ,considering that it is much cheaper than rabadon and lich bane. Good giude.

If you were going to replace one of them I would probably replace Rab's, lich bane is a big part of the build and will actually boost Arch staff even further while helping your MR. I also recently swapped Rab for warmogs, which was unbelievably strong that game. Freeze is right that the core of this build is really ROA Ab Scepter, and FH. Those items are essential the last two are really just there to give you the most kaboom possibilities.

Nice Guide...I never even considered the Lich Bane on Cho before. But I gotta try it now. Seems great for taking down towers too.

Although I'm not a huge fan of ROA of Cho, even though it's a popular pick. I just feel like the extra health is unnecessary. I like to stack a couple of Doran's early on instead. It gives you the early health boost and mana without wasting space later when you sell them, and then I tend to build Chalice -> Athene's to take ROA's place.

I always. always. ALWAYS, take Guardian Angel on Cho'Gath too. Keeps those precious stacks around longer.

I also like Boots of Swiftness and Exhaust to catch up with those fleeing om noms :P
