Chogath lategame doesn't scale because he has short range. Damn the ap ratios what close range champ is any good lategame. Only long range aps and ad carries are effective.
Chogath has short range and no form of mobiliy enhancement and is an unmissable target and poke damage is very non trivial even to a chogath if you don't have at least a fon.

Not to say chogath is bad but definitely very situational.

Are you serious? Cho'gaths ratios are among the highest in the game, 1.0, 0.7, 0.3, 0.7. One of those ratios is on a true damage nuke. You can get 38% CDR, on him pretty easily, 8% from defensive masteries, 20% from frozen heart, 10% from blue elixir, almost capped and he doesn't even have to go out of his way to get that size Frozen Heart is a core item for him. His cooldowns are slightly higher than say, Annie's, but not enough to make a substantial difference. And every single one of his abilities except his ultimate has an AOE.

I honestly don't think you have any idea how Cho'gath fits into the game. If you gave an argument like "rupture is hard to hit" I'd be like "okay, that's definitely the case." But complaining about his AP ratios? For real? The only real issue with Cho is late game AD carries start doing so much damage, but he's more immune to that than most- hit a single rupture, feral scream, feast combo and their AD carry is dead (don't even have to waste feast if they're out of positon or your team follows up properly).

The perception thank Cho scales poorly into the late game probably has to do with people building him janky or pure tank- if they do either, then yes, there is a huge need to win the game before it gets too late.

This is the kind of post that makes me clueless about how high elo players think. I'm not saying you're wrong about Cho or I don't value your opinion.
Besides the unmissable target point, all the other points also apply to Vladimir (Cho's Q and W have equal or higher range than all of Vlad's spells). Vlad is also often played top, so in both cases it's most likely a double AP comp. Yet, Vlad is a very popular pick lately in competitive play, and I'm sure I've seen him picked early which would be weird for a situationnal pick.
So, why is Vlad scaling so well when Cho isn't?

Edit: Moving it to GD.

Yeah it's a buff that GP probably needs after all the nerfs done to him. It always seemed weird to have the extra gold mechanic when GPs needed to use all their mana on parrrley shots that harass the enemy champ or else they lose the lane. This way they can farm and harass reasonably with parrrley. Might be better in 1v2 lanes too.

you guys play GP wrong. stop shooting the opponent and start spamming oranges.

still a big buff if it's real, but it baffles me that people still consider GP an aggressive laner.

^also the new dodge boots make gp do so much less damage

also atmogs feels weak, you guys have a replacement build?

well thats his problem atm, he gets pressured top and can't win trades, even if you farm decently you scale less than riven jax olaf & co. I don't think gp has a place top atm but he's still has a decent champ overall, can be extremely annoying mid and not a bad support. Really looking forward to this buff as he's always been one of my favourite champ but it's hard to play him nowadays

What I've seen some gangplanks in mid tier elo (1700-1800) do is run teleport flash and ult/tp bot in conjunction with a jungler gank to usually pick up a double kill/dragon. Seems to work pretty will when I've seen it.
