treds/sunfire/FoN + blue pot. (core items)

glacial/nlr (vs teams you feel safe against)

frozen heart/randuins (vs AD heavy teams)

abyss/rylais (vs AP heavy teams)

wat

don't do that ^

[edit]

Okay, I should say more than that. Your item choices are okay but the reasoning behind them is straight retarded. Why should you get a rylais instead of a banshees vs heavy ap teams? Why is sunfire/FoN core? I don't even get sunfire on Cho and I RARELY get FoN anymore. Why is glacial vs teams you feel safe against but frozen heart vs "heavy ad teams"? Your thought process behind item choices doesn't make any sense.

Like for real there are three distinct styles of Chogath that I play and depending on what I'm doing I get different things for different reasons and sometimes I blend a bit of both to fit the situation. Don't be so cookie-cutter and definitely don't just buy random shit because you "feel safe" against a team.

I get FoN because movespeed is amazing for cho and the passive along with cho's passive lets you recover from fights fast.
I get Sunfire because its high armor high health and the passive doesn't hurt and allows you to last hit by just sitting near creeps.

Glacial is for the CDR and Mana, frozen heart is 1400g mostly into physical mitigation.Therefore if you feel safe you can cut out defense and get some AP.

I never said get rylais over banshee's, its just in most situations fon/merc/abyss is more than enough MR, and rylais helps you catch ranged carries easier. Yes if its a nuke/cc team you get a banshee's but otherwise you really don't need 3 negaton items.

Sometimes I have to get frozen heart and abyss, sometimes I don't get either. I just posted the most generic principles i follow.

Cho can annihilate a creep wave very easily without Sunfire just by using his abilities, armor items that give CDR (Randuin's, Glacial) are much better on him if you're building armor.
Zero fighting.

I mean like you could get a sheen on him because it wouldn't hurt, the fact that he has the highest attack damage scaling in the game works well with it and it allows you to do a ton of dama...

No but seriously those are bad reasons.

In terms of the items you've laid out, I don't see why you'd get FoN+Glacial+Sunfire when Visage+Randuin+Banshee's gives comparable stats for similar cost while also giving you a bunch of kickass utility like the Randuin slow and the BVeil shield.

FoN+Glacial+Sunfire, 6895 gold - 450 HP, 425 Mana, 90 Armor, 76 MR, 40 HP5, 20% CDR, 7% Movespeed, associated passives

Visage+Randuin+Banshee, 7190 gold - 925 HP, 375 Mana, 80 Armor, 80 MR, 25 HP5, 20% CDR, associated passives and actives

Personally, I think the Visage+Randuin+Banshee passives/actives blow the FoN+Sunfire passives out of the water. And that's not even considering the fact that HoG and Catalyst as components have additional utility through early-midgame while FoN/Glacial/Sunfire build from a bunch of base items.

Holy Fuck. That was such a solid argument. Props. Detailed theorycrafting.

thank you for this rational arguement. I'll have to try out Visage/randuins over glacial/sunfire, but I'm always going to get FoN because the movespeed is really fucking game changing on cho.

Say there's a Rammus powerballing into your team. You eat the powerball because you don't want that Rammus taunting/sitting on your carry. Now which would you rather have--a measly 7% movespeed, or to not be slowed by 60%?

the problem with banshee's is its easy to poke off and its not always up, the 7% movepseed will help me land more feasts and screams more reliably and easily.

yango so gud theorycraft

heroes that make better use of itemizing movement speed are generally kiting/pokey heroes. with the exception of fleeing/chasing (neither of which are optimal for champions who want to be in the nitty-gritty like cho), itemized movement speed generally does nothing for you in big teamfights. you will hardly notice that movespeed if your team engages properly; they should have enough cc to make that movespeed unnecessary (and the enemy team should have the cc to make it negligible as well, in most escaping + chasing situations etc.).

and ya, as yango said, catalyst is such a flexible option (especially for cho) in that you will almost never be wrong in getting it early. getting it makes cho nigh impossible to harass in lane and gives him ultimate staying power, and can be built into RoA, banshees, etc. It is much more effective than two regen pendants in that it helps your mana pool + flat regen per level as well, giving you the option of a more harass oriented playstyle without having to worry about mana / timing your skills to hit minions when harassing (for ur passive).

saying that banshee has a "problem" because it is easy to poke off is kinda dumb. why would anybody ever get banshee, because you could just "poke it off"?

of course, this argument is more valid when the enemy team is running a poke/kite comp, but those are fairly rare these days. the thing is, every banshee poked off is an extra source of damage/cc that you have mitigated and the enemy team has lost. starting a teamfight while the enemy anivia's q is on cd is much more advantageous than if not, and even if she does start the teamfight with it off cd and your banshee up, that banshee will give you the time to start a q yourself so that their team cannot take advantage of anivia's stun, etc.

in any teamfight where your team has any organization at all, landing feasts and screams should be a matter of landing your q and following up (or using your teammates cc to your advantage). 7% movespeed won't offset almost all slows in the game (ashe volley/q, anivia, singed, w/e u name it), and vice versa if those heroes are on your team.

I must be playing a different game than you, because unless I'm playing with people i know my teammates are either greedy bastards or drooling retards with no sense of team play at all.

dm20 is saying some pretty silly stuff in this thread, but I want to note that I value banshee's very differently on tanks than on carries. It's a much much less powerful item on a tank because they're actually built to withstand some degree of cc, whereas if a carry gets hit by one disable it can often mean instant death. Tanks are also a lot more likely to get their shield popped by something that doesn't matter simply because they're in front - if somebody makes it through your whole team to throw a spell at the carry it's probably got a hell of a punch, whereas people feel free to spam at the tank taking point. Still a reasonable item on either type of course.

uh, I don't play cho, that's just a sidenote.

when i say any organization at all, i mean that they use their skills in a fight.
that's all, really.
regardless of how retarded your teammates are, they generally keep up that standard of play.

as for tanks with banshee, the point is still valid. every spell that they use is a disable/damage that they can't use for its cd after the battle has started. so some tanks, like amumu, benefit from this as it allows them to pull of their initiation without a hitch. others, like cho, are given the option of being able to continue using his disables / soak up damage for their carry with the bveil. the effect of "i've already blown an aoe stun on these mofos but this cho can still disable us so that we can't follow up" is still very valuable. you just have to use it right and not get it stupidly wasted by a underlevelled ezreal mystic or something lol

I guess I just dont play high enough level games because most of the time I've got to chase someone down for the kill or catch up to my overextended carry or just be at an undefended lane faster.
