How can you dodge his Q when you are 50% slowed and silenced...Cho would either buy an R.Glory or Flash-Feral Scream 's into an e-auto attack(50% slow) and then his q afterwards. It's not counterplay-able without using your own flash in return, just like Annie flash engage.

Cho Support is bad in lane because where other initiator supports can initiate from long-range reliably, chogath has to be extremely unpredictable to functionably engage against good players without burning every cooldown to get the engage. Meanwhile even if Cho'Gath manages to all-in successfully, if the opponent is a ranged support(especially one with a heal and damage like nami/sona), they can still bully you off of the minion wave if you don't get jungler assistance(aka you suck at getting gold and helping your AD CARRY in lane unless you are strait up better than the opponent or get rediculous outplays).

Outside of lane however, Cho'Gath support is Very Potent. When 3 members can be knocked up and silenced for 500 damage and then permaslowed and chomped, he proves to be just about as good as a traditional support if not slightly better(assuming skillshot accuracy). But if you are behind 600+ gold to the enemy support, you might have a very difficult time being as effective, especially compared to another teamfight tank like Alistar, Leona, or Taric. If you manage to come out even, your team is in good hands though.
