Ability Explanation + Ability Sequence

Carnivore (passive) Whenever Cho'Gath kills a unit, he recovers 32 - 66 (+2.0 each level) health and 3.25-7.50 mana (+0.25 each level).
Rupture Ruptures the ground at target location. After a short delay, enemies are launched into the air for 1 second, dealt 80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 305 (+100% of ability power) magic damage, and have their movement speed slowed by 60% for 3 seconds.
Feral Scream Cho'Gath screams in a cone in front of him, silencing enemies for 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 second(s) and causing 75 / 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 (+70% of ability power) magic damage.
Vorpal Spikes Toggle: Cho'gath's physical attacks launch spikes which deal 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 (+30% of ability power) magic damage to a line in front of him.
Feast Devours an enemy unit, dealing 300 / 475 / 650 (+0.7 per ability power) true damage (1,000 to minions) that ignores armor and magic resist. If the target is killed, Cho'Gath grows, gaining extra health (max 6 stacks). Cho'Gath loses half his stacks (rounded up) upon death.

Tips

remeber, Rupture is the most important spell on Cho'Gath learn to hit it every time!
remember to always have 6 stacks of Feast (feasting minions)
remeber to toogle off Vorpal Spikes while attacking turret's

Jungle

For masteries i take the same, and for runes a little AP wont hurt :P
here is the jungle route

wraits
wolfes
Golems
(BACK)
Gank or blue, or red

I use pretty much the same build.

Laning Phase

Farm Farm Farm Farm Farm Farm Farm !
if you think it is worth it harras with auto attack, use and on the minions.
lvl 6 you should get 6 stacks as quickly as possible

Starting Items

if your solo top you should buy regrowth pendent and one healt potion, if your duo laning, you should buy a dorang's ring

FIRST TRIP HOME
you should have enough money to buy philopher's stone and if not, buy boots instead.

Core Iteams

BOOTS

Mercury's Treads the best boots for Cho'Gath in my opinion, because of the MR and the Tenacety
Berserker's Greaves Bad boots overall, a bad choice to almost any champion.
Boots of Swiftness may be good, if you are doing good
Ninja Tabi Great Boots if you are playing against a heavy ad team
Mobility Boots not the best choice in my opinion...

I just wanna say that there is not core items for any tank

Gold per 5

Buying philopherser's stone and gives you 10 gold per 5 wich is pretty op.

Items and why

Tanks should not have a core build, they should always build on what the enemy team is.

Against a balanced team

Force of Nature
Frozen Heart
something a little offense, like a Frozen Mallet or an Atma's Impaler
upgrade your heart og gold to a Randuin's Omen
and then a Phantom Dancer im not joking, try it...
now with you boots you should have a full build

AGAINST AP TEAM
Rod of Ages
Force of Nature banshee's wheel

AGAINST AD
thornail , it's enough
