Secret Behind Items

Lets start with the Items and our Items Strategy. I come up with this build after hundreds of different combinations, to create this final build that cant lose vs ANYTHING and ANYONE!

You will always start with Doran's Ring and Health Pots its the most important item for our Build!

At your first back you will focus to have 800-1235 Gold, and you will buy 1 more Doran's Ring and 1 The Dark Seal plus either Boots of Speed or Amplifying Tome to add more Damage.

The next time you will go back you will buy Hextech Revolver this will add you INSANE burst damage so early in game together with your 2 Doran's Ring 1 The Dark Seal you will have Damage-Unlimited Mana-Health, everything that Cho'Gath Need to dominate any lane vs any match up possible.

Then you will go for Luden's Echo and then you will create the Hextech Protobelt-01.

The Luden's Echo will give you even more burst damage and it will activate the Arcane Comet when you doing Q-W at your target, together with just one Hit that will activate the Hextech Revolver you will do around 1500 Damage without even use your Ulti, the MID LANER and ADC will just die from Q-W, the tanky champions will die after your ulti.
The Hextech Protobelt-01 will give you extra mobility, think of it as your second and STRONGEST Flash, this item will do around 400 Damage with our build, add this to the damage above and you will see the damage to be unreal from this early.

Then you will create Liandry's Torment, it will give you MAGIC PENETRATION and together with the Sorcerer's Shoes you will have 53 MAGIC Penetration, at this point you doing PURE Damage to all NO-Tank Champions, and by using skills or Hits you doing 4% HP Damage from the Liandry's Torment

After that you will create Void Staff, by doing this you will finish your Full Magic penetration build, you will have 53flat and 35% Magic Penetration, no matter what the target is all of your skills and item effects will do PURE or even BONUS damage at really squishy targets, the damage output will be INSANE even without our last item!

As final item you can choose from the Following 2:

Warmog's Armor

Rabadon's Deathcap

So your FULL BUILD will look like this:

Hextech Protobelt-01

Luden's Echo

Liandry's Torment

Void Staff

Warmog's Armor

Sorcerer's Shoes

Elixir of Sorcery

My Strategy To Follow

Lets talk about the strategy here. To play with Cho'Gath inst only use his PURE Strength as your weapon, like any other WARS, at league you need to use your HEAD as well to win the game.
So lets talk about what you need to focus.

Creeps: The most important thing is to focus on your farm, you need to farm fast and if you can kill all the creeps without missing even one. This way you will take the lead from your enemy champion, dont be afraid to use your skills for last hits even at the 1 level.

Stay Alive: To not to die at lane and not have any kills is more worth than to be 3-3 or 4-4 with your enemy Lane champion.
Your build focusing to be the strongest at the MID-Late game, doesn't matter if you cant kill now, focus on farm and you will be able to show your true Strength at the right time of the game.

Hide & Seek Strategy: You will always max your Q, even if you can't hit your enemy you will still max this skill. Rapture is the strongest skill of Cho'Gath even stronger than your ulti.
To make it Easier to hit my enemies, i come up with the Rengar style trick, its simple. just hid at the Bushes and make use of the FOG OF WAR, this way your enemy champion wont hear the Q sound or see your Animation Cast, with just this its almost certain that you will hit him and then kill him with your Combo.

See this strategy Live from one of my hundreds of videos:

Reason Behind My Spells

Lots of my Subs and followers from YouTube and social asking me "Why are you not playing with teleport TOP?"
and the answer is simple and i will give it to all of you as well.

Im playing always with Flash and Ignite Top, for the following reason, Teleport is a skill for any of players don't have enough confident in theirselves that they can DESTROY the enemy TOP laner.
Its as simple as that, Teleport can be used to Come back after a fast back or go to other lane and "Help" your team.
The reason all playing with Teleport is cause they want to find the "easy" answer behind the top lane "go help others and exp there", i cant judge them really, but if you really want to say yourself that you actually won the TOP Lane then you need to do it SOLO.

Destroy your enemy not only by killing him but also by making him build TOO MUCH MR that he don't need.
All my tanky enemies building full MR Items, cant do anything else cause if they wont they will just die from me over and over again.
But by forcing them doing that the BEST WAY to counter them its to simple change lane, send your ADC TOP with your Support and go BOT 1vs2, after destroying TOP its the time to destroy BOT as well.

Doing something as simple as that you can change the ENTIRE balance of the game. The Full MR Tank top wont stand a chance vs the ADC and SUPPORT and their ADC and SUPPORT wont stand a chance vs the FULL Magic Pen You.
I did this countless of times and always winning the game at the end.

TIP: Lots of you will think "but when my team need me i can teleport there", NO. You dont need to teleport there. You can be there by foot, or if you cant be there continue with the OBJECTIVES, push your lane destroy towers take Dragons with your jungler etc.
Almost every rush TP to help BOT or MID Lane end up by being all DEAD together with you.
Cause when you TP, you suddenly change the entire MAP Phase, you going somewhere where you will be 100% seen and try to either Dodge your skills or Kill you first.
So go by foot, and go from behind them by using the FOR OF WAR.

This is the entire strategy behind what i am always doing.
If you see my videos you will see that im right at what im saying above.
