I have always liked Cho'gath for his reliable tankyness(I do a tanky cho(grasp, warmogs, stoneplate, tabi/treads, RF, etc.)), his waveclear, and his cc.

His tankyness, greatly accented in late game, makes it so that he can just wander into a teamfight(or sprint w/ RF), and then just sit there sending out damage, cc, and and ult and generally changing the course of the teamfight by soaking up a couple thousand damage for his squishy team that otherwise could have finished off the carries. His passive, combined with some resolve runes like second wind, allow him to survive the laning phase and lets him back less often.

His waveclear with his e makes him much better early on, and allows him to get the early gold to get some basic items that can make him tanky enough for future ults. His e also allows him to zone away his opponent from the wave so that his melee basic attacks aren't a weakness.

Third, his cc allows him to zone opponents. He can use his silence to keep away opponents closing in, as the threat of a q while they are disabled is great. He can use his q in to ways:to zone opponents or go for the knock-up. I have always found success by setting a q slightly on but mostly behind an opponent. This forces them to the sides or towards me, when I can use the silence to stop them from anything else and ult them. Even if they flash, it's a win for me, trading a 9-second cooldown for a 300-second one.

All of these things together support him and make him a reliable, and yet not overpowered, champion.
