Wow. I missed that nerf. It's pretty huge. Thought I wasn't sustaining as much but hard to tell.

I still get it though.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I've been getting nashor's after boots2+glacial shroud, you outtrade people so hard just from silence+aa's, and that's all the damage you need in laning phase. Later on, I think the CDR is really important for being useful, your role is to disrupt what the other team wants to do instead of killing them all by yourself.

I dont like RoA on Cho, actually I dont like it on most champs.

I dont know if its better than Rylais, 150 health/650 mana/more sustain vs slow sounds nice when you already have so much cc, but once you get a frozen heart i dont think you need the extra mana.
Plus, getting health and sustain isnt really what I'm looking for when laning with cho. You got the passive. I usually want AS to proc my E more often and armor/mr to help me trading while i stack up my feast.
So RoA is kinda useless imho, I dont know. I never get it

Especially since the catalyst sustain nerf, RoA is underwhelming.

I definitely think the best way to build him is to get a fast Rylai's, then just build as tanky as you need to while getting attack speed for damage from Wit's End or Nashor's Tooth. CDR is really nice on him, but it's not necessary.

Non-CDR build: Rylai's -> Wit's End -> Randuin's
CDR build: chalice --> rylai's --> nashor's --> athene's --> randuin's.

personally, I think cdr is more important than atk spd. There are just so many ways you can build cho, it's just up to preference.

Rylai's > RoA.
I usually build chalice or glacial first item on cho (depending on vs AD or AP) so mana isn't a big issue (especially if you max E in certain lanes), rylai's after that.

My go to build is rylai's, athene's and frozen heart most of the time. So much CC with rylai's and 40% cdr while you still do decent dmg and are somewhat tanky. after that build whatever your team needs. AP or more tanky.
When AP dmg from the enemy isn't an issue obv. skip athene's and build nashors or just more armor.

While atk spd is obv. super nice for cho for trading top lane (when you play against someone who actually do trade auto attacks) cdr is so much better in teamfights in my opinion.

Is it viable to rush chalice / glacial after boots + 3 start on cho top?

I went for straight RoA into Dcap but catalyst sux.

So like Boots+3 -> Chalice / Glacial -> Boots2 -> RoA -> Athenes / Frozen

yea, pretty much, idk, right now I just derp around with cho, max E -> W, build mass resists + nashors as feels appropriate in lane and right click on nearby creeps/the opponent themselves and then spend the whole game split pushing and soloing people. honestly I just think way too much of Cho's power is loaded into his E and passive right now so might as well suck it up and abuse those aspects.

That's also why he drops off so hard late game, once you get to the point where people can actually kite you effectively your dps drops by like 50% and sustain is only useful in lane

Most people disagree that Cho drops off. He's certainly scary in lane due to his burst and his sustain but I think he's still capable of a lot even when he doesn't sustain as much.

His damage definitely drops off, but his utility doesn't. Cho late-game is kinda like an un-farmed Nasus in the sense that he brings a ton of utility to the table without much farm/items/damage using Q and W cc, but his damage honestly isn't really there. Cho's cc is pretty insane if you can hit all your stuff tho.

True damage nuke that scales with AP is always useful though. If you can make it to their backline, their squishies are going down.

Cho only functions lategame when the impetus to engage is solidly on the opposing team. He's a strong peeler and most bruisers don't appreciate getting chomped for 800 true damage when they're trying to dive your team, but he's super clunky due to his long cast times and it severely limits him when he needs to be proactive. So screw it, embrace the beast, build a nashor's, refuse to teamfight, and right click on people. that or only pick him with a kog/trist/cait + lux/xerath/nid comp and peel for your bros when people try to get up in their grill.

Well, i tried that nashor's E max rush on cho top a few games, it actually feels pretty good and fun. Outsplitpushed a tryndamere, the cdr lets you stack feast rather fast, and if you get a frozen heart next you're nigh unkillable in the midgame. Fun for sure.

Btw i like flask/ward/pot, but what do you guys get as starting items for cho top?

I think the biggest problem with Chogath late game is that he gets weaker if he dies. There are times where you'll have fight after fight and it gets progressively easier to kill him because he won't have time or space to build stacks back up and have feast available. I feel like if you start losing fights with Cho you keep losing fights after a certain point.

Rod of Ages into Zhonya's has been my core on Cho lately. Your rupture scales 1.0 and feast scales 0.7 true, I much prefer getting as high raw AP as possible for those 2 spells. Can get a chain vest or negatron cloak before the large rod if you need to be a bit tougher. I feel like everyone tries getting cute with his E and forgets just how much damage feast can do. Also much prefer rod over rylai's for the same reason, you just want raw AP and then tanky stats. Abuse the scaling and no spending gold on gimmicks.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.
