I appreciate your input kxis. I know most cho's rush Rod of Ages, but that's mostly for mid lane, which this guide does not work well in. I get that Rupture can be good for a straigh ap Cho'Gath, but this guide is for a bruiser type Cho. It's not like a typical build, and it won't work in mid lane (believe me i've tried).

The thing about Rod of Ages and Rylai's Crystal Scepter is that they offer no resistances (armor, MR), just HP, so since Cho gets HP from Feast stacks, I chose to go Frozen Heart and Spirit Visage because I will be in the middle of the fight instead of just casting spells from the outside. In addition, Frozen Heart provides mana, and Spirit Visage provides HP, so you're not missing out on much by not getting Rod of Ages (the AP comes from Nashor's Tooth) With out armor and MR to back up your HP, you will lose it all a lot quicker.

That's just my playstyle with Cho'Gath in top lane. If I was going mid, I might get Rod of Ages instead, but this is a unique guide for top lane. Thanks for commenting!

I just finish red the guide. Looks interesting, but well I play frecuently Cho'Gath as a ap off tank. Really i don't like very much that build, and u forgot Rod of Ages with that item and your passive you have a lot of sustain. And put fir E its strange for me, I make first Q Rupture. Because Rod of Ages and Rylai's Crystal Scepter works pretty good, tons of life and good amount of ap. Try to place that items with your buld and you feel how cho works better Rylai's Crystal Scepter slows with your E ever hit, sustain with Rod of Ages. About the runes and maestries i play something different. My runes are armor, MAgic resist, Magic penetration and AP.
But I'll try one time to check. :)

Cho Tanky > AS
Freaking riot lies.

After having added some good starting BBCode, you have received a +1 from me, good job =)

This is rather harsh; just because the sight of attack speed makes you think the build is rubbish, doesn't mean it is. After having tried this, it actually worked pretty well for me (I went 9/2/11 on my first Cho'Gath game with this), and dishing out -1s because you disagree on the look of an item build is something I consider to be rather offending towards the author who has put quite a bit of time and effort into this, especially if you haven't tested it.
~No offence meant, just my opinion~

Thanks, Albo, for the advice, and I agree that I need to work on my BBCoding (I didn't even know it was called that), but yeah, I didn't know how to do all of that so thanks for the link.

To Laggermeister, the reason I go AS is so I can win longer trades between tanky enemies. Vorpal Spikes only launches when you auto attack, so having a higher AS = higher damage output. I realize AS is mostly in the jungle, but given the unique style of this build, I hope you understand that they're not necessarily "uselss". Thanks for the comment though haha.

-1, wrong runes (attack speed is for the jungle) and items (Nashor's Tooth is a huge pile of useless)

Hi ted2016,

Welcome to MobaFire and thanks for creating a guide!
After having read your guide, the build (items, runes, masteries etc.) looks pretty good, and I tested it out. It worked pretty well, so thanks for that!
I can also see that you have put quite a bit of effort into explaining the logic behind your choices, what to do in-game etc. So good job on that =) What could be added is a Matchups section, and a section on what to do at certain stages of the game (early, mid and late).
What your guide lacks, however, is the lay-out and BBCoding part(such as Cho'Gath). Seeing as this is your first guide, I can understand it is pretty overwhelming to try and code your guide. To make it look less like a chapter in a schoolbook, however, I would recommend trying your hand at it and being creative =) It would make your guide a lot easier to read, and it's quite fun to do!
Here's the link to the beginner's guide for BBCoding, created by jhoijhoi: Making a guide.
I will not vote for now, although I will vote once you have added a little style to your guide =)

TL;DR
Build:Looks good(tested)!
Explanation:Seems pretty good, try adding a little more detail like matchups.
Formatting&BBCoding:Terrible, but I trust this will be added soon =)
Spelling&Grammar:Excellent, only found a few minor mistakes(some it's that should be its).
Overall, a good 1st guide. Keep adding more stuff and you've got yourself something good!
