GUIDE STATUS


Developement: Under serious update
Last Update: 22 May 2016
Game Patch: Season 6 - Version 6.10


"Who are you?"

Hello everyone im Reitan Hitokiri from uNiQue Freestyle Multigaming (uNQue) on EUW server.
I play League of Legends since it came out, or before that... as DOTA.

Im an unranked player because i choose too, but when i play on normal games i get teams full of Diamonds.
I think it means something...



"What is your experience with Cho'Gath?"

Well it's my main champion for as long as i remember.
And i think i have mastered it.
With almost 600.000 Champion Points and consistant S Grade, even when defeated.



"Why are you doing this guide?"

Well i did this guide years ago in an act of madness...
This was the number 1 guide of Cho'Gath for along time.
At this moment it has almost 3.000.000 views, 200 comments and 200 votes with a high percentage of likes.

So i diceded to update the Guide to deserve it's place betwen all the other guides.


I remind you that all the contents of this guide are merely suggestions.

Runes

Standard Rune page



This is my personal standard rune page for Cho'Gath.
Increase survivability & AP DPS.

Runes

Precision
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush


Rune page adaptation




Flat Armor Seals Vs AD
Generally used in Jungle, Top, Midle, Support.

Flat Health Seals Vs AP
Generally used in: Midle, Top, Support.

Health Scaling Seals
Better suited for solo lanes / lanes where you know you will be fine until you 'break even' with the scaling stats).

Jungle
For jungling i pick MARKS of Flat Attack Speed instead of Magic Penetration, so this way you make damage more fast with your basic attacks + Vorpal Spikes.

Mid Game Goals:

Core items



Mercury's Treads

Dont need to explain why.
The only otpion here is Ninja Tabi against heavy attack damage enemys early game and Sorcerer's Shoes if you are AP Mid.


Rod of Ages

This is a good items for a AP Bruiser like Cho'Gath.
Gives you some decent HP, mana to keep spamming skills and ability power to make you even more powerful.

You only need this item and Fest with 6 stacks to be a meat shield.
__________________________________________________

Frozen Heart

One of the best Armor items around.
Great armor and incredible utility for you team.


Abyssal Scepter

Increase you magic resist, gives you some AP and utility for your team.

Rabadon's Deathcap

You only need this and Rod of Ages to reach 350 ap and start making Feast's with 800 True Damage.

__________________________________________________

Build Adaptations



Ninja Tabi

This is an otpion for boots.
I only do this against heavy AD early game before i build Mercury.



Sorcerer's Shoes

You can take this if you are playing AP Mid.
I thing i dont need to explain why...


Force of Nature

This is what i do when i need a little more survivability and magic resist late game.
I choose this over Wit's End because it gives more resistance, some extra movement speed and the OP health regen.


Wit's End

Viable you can get this instead of Force of nature to help your team dealing damage.


Banshee's Veil

I only use this early game when the enemy AP Mid is dealing tons of damage.(Karthus)
If you have finished the Rod Of Ages dont do this, buy 2 negatrons instead.
(1 for Abyssal and another for FoN or Wit's End its ur choise)


Guardian Angel

A option for a late game item against Physical Attacks.


Randuin's Omen

A great item for utility.
This can easly replace Frozen Mallet so... its you call.


Thornmail

I rarely do this... this is used against heavy Attack Damage.
(This means you will end with 300 Armor...

Skill Sequence (Out dated)

Well there are alots of game play styles out there... but mine is focused on Rupture.
Since i can land about 90% of them and rupture does more damage Feral Scream.
Alots of people max FS frist i dont thinks its so important to max a skill to get more 1 second of silence.

So here goes:
Ability Sequence
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

If you want you can max Feral Scream instead of Rupture its ur choise.

Flash

The best escape/engage method on the game.


Exhaust

Since your job is disrupt and crowd control this is a great tool to achieve objective.
__________________________________________________

After Flash this is the best escape/engage method.
This is mainly used to take advantage of Vorpal Spikes.

I only use it when im playing OP'Gath as AP Mid...
