Hey Balori, I'm on Emerald now but most of the time we lose because somehow all of my opponents are building so much mr I am dealing less damage than my ADC, What items can I disregard if im gonna buy heartsteel and warmogs?

Hey man, can you make teemo build?

Hello my friend, sorry for the late answer, I am only creating build guides for champions that will give you a 60%+ Win Ratio in your Ranked games! So if I come up with an unique build for that will reach this win ratio in my Diamond+ test accounts, then I will for sure make one!!

I was casually watching Tyler when he commented on the support items and talked about cho gaf bot lane I remember copying the arsenal and keeping it stored I tested it in the ranks from bronze to gold 3 it's really fun if you get an advantage at the beginning enemy adc is deleted from the match I did it in the bot lane with duo sup I received it with the item world atlas I received a lot of verbal abuse from my team but I won most of the games
It's incredible to play the lane from the beginning just farming and all you need is a Q and a stun support like brand, leona, xerath or with some group control variations like blits, fiddle even an ashe
I had success with the lane pashe asking my sup to farm with the atlas stacks and vice versa I recommend frizzing when possible if your team isn't killing each other in the mid it's complicated trying to flip the coin when you're advanced in the lane ult stacks I recommend using with caution
Ban morgana, ezreal, sivir or any character that has a dash
(proprize ban morgana)

A place with my fellow Chogath players, gotta try this build!

Your dmg calculation is wrong. Cho'gath ult deals TRUE dmg, therefore it's not reduced by magic resist. You can reach so much higher than 1300 on heroes.

But why would I want to increase more of 1300 with JUST 50% SCALING, PER 80 SEC (with AH, and Ultimate Haste, it can go down to ~40)

When you can increase more of ~600 dmg WITH 100% SCALING, EVERY 6 SEC (with AH, it can go down to ~3.5-4 sec).

I get this build is strong if you are a good player and can make the right plays, but what if you're still new to playing or you feed instead of being the one fed? How should you play this if you are behind or against a bad matchup?

This build is the most powerful in the game if you take your time to learn how to use it. That means you need at least 30 games to understand your limits.
There are no bad match ups while using our Full Magic Pen Cho'Gath Build, only match ups that you still dont have enough experience against it, I am showing it to our countless games that we are playing with our Cho'God. The main objective in all the games is to focus on farming, while trying to poke the enemies down. got something that most damage dealers dont, hp and mana from the passive while you are farming creeps, a tool that you can use to outsustain your laners while they are going to be with 30%-40% all the time after each trade!
To keep it short, focus on understanding the limits of your combos, this will lead to understanding when you can instant kill your enemies and when you need to run.
For example, if the enemy is with 40% hp, no matter what he is playing, a Full combo of Q-W-E-R and if you are playing with it, will 100% guarantee kill the enemy.
Remember, practice makes it better, we got easier champions build guides to master, like our , , etc. but as long as you master our Cho'God one you will be literally unstoppable, no matter what you will have against you, you will end up winning as easy as I am doing it.
The build is created with a way to always overpower the enemies, no matter how you will mess up early, as long as you try to fix your mistakes while playing, focus on farming and of course try to stay alive, you will sooner or later outdamage any other champion in this game!
(If you got a bad match up in mind for Cho, tell me to find it and put it on our guide as well)
Enjoy!

You can get Lost Chapter back now if you back on first cannon wave take Futures market rune and sapphire crystal. Try this out!

You buy it for the stats, not the Unique Passive.
With just 400G, you get more than what Amplifying Tome gives with 435G.

Well, temporary items are meant for "renting".
The longer you hold it, the more benefit it will. You only sell them when you start building the fourth item (third if you don't count boots).
The 400-160=240 loss can easily be replaced with you being ahead 20 cs compare to the opponent laner.
This build is VERY GOOD when you facing a similar skill range opponent, or super ahead, either via matchup, or simply because you can punish your opponent mistakes easily. But not good towards super safe opponent, or when you are super behind, since it would delay your build. It's a golden rule to all MOBA games, and LoL is no exception: "Don't waste/left empty an item slot, there's always a chance it would improve your stats".
There's a reason that MF, Draven, Darius, ... and many more can abuse 3-6 Doran's Blade strats and then selling them later on when you start building a big item.

İs this for top lane?

I mainly playing Top, but our Max Pen build will work in any lane or role, with the same runes/items that you can read in our guide!
Enjoy.

I love your Guide Balori. i playing your guide on mid lane and it works i played it 3 times on silver1 elo and won 2x of it. and i gained 2 S- . I hope to see you playing this more on twitch i followed you there and i wanna learn from the master himself.

People who see this guide can't accept that this play style ain't in the so called "m e t a", or that they can't go and tank 5 people with it. With this build as it is probably already written in the guide you should rely on poking not face tanking people and expecting to win. Just watch Balori's videos and look at how he plays. He gives you free lp just like that and you throw it away without even considering.

I tried this guide 5 times already.
I ALWAYS get stomped, always. It only gets good in the late game IF
IF
IF your team didn't lose as you.

Edit: the build is pretty good if you don't suck.

What will you do when the changes in the doran ring arrive?
Because they will now have passive unique, do you think this will disrupt the beginning of the ground?

We have two options that we will follow after tests:
1. Continue as it is. And use the rest of the effects that are still worth.
2. Buy 2 of them and one dark seal (probably this will be the best choice), we will sacrifice 60HP from one doran but we will gain back: bonus healing from pots, bonus AP per kill and 100 mana that will give us the sustain that we losing from the "unique passive" effect!
Overall it won't effect us, cause as always my builds are created with research.
I'm trying to create builds that NO MATTER WHAT changes will happens to not get effected at all or get stronger.
The same happened with "New GA", we replaced it with an even STRONGER item.
The "lethality", that made our build for wukong even stronger
and "rammus rework" that made our build the only actually working build for this champ!

Just stick with me and don't worry about "riot" changes, it wont effect us at all, we will always be the "meta breakers"

Thanks for your answer,
You are incredible, Cho is one of the champions that I like best, but I did not win many matches with him, which made me sad, but after following his guide, I have 73% of Victory with him.

Thank you.
