I main Cho'gath, and yes, learn to use his rupture. If you don't, then if we ever meet Cho'gath to Cho'gath, I will stomp you and eat you and never stop snowballing. Hate to say the word 'pro tips', but I do like a Cho'gath player, so these are some recommendations:

1. Q has a glitch that enables you to cast the spell beyond the displayed range. The difference is about a quarter of an inch on my screen. This range means that if you're on top lane as the bottom-left team, then you can hit the very edge of the tower while staying in the bushes.

2. Fish with Q. I still don't trust myself to smart-cast Q and I play Cho'gath way more than any other champ.

3. Q is both easier and harder to land on melee champs. Melee champs have to get closer to their target, so they're more likely to see the ground shaking, but at the same time they're more often to be found in chaotic ground like the minion line, where it is harder to see the ground disturbance.

4. If they're running in a straight line, centering the reticle 1.5 inches further on their path will almost always nail them.

5. Launching Q from the bushes, with the reticle centered on them is almost guaranteed to land, if they're not moving too much. (.75 seconds is not enough time to dodge)

6. If they're coming in to hit the minions, center the reticle behind the target, with ~20% of it overlapping them. People tend to run backwards from your Q.
