i usually picked chogath against ap-yi and it was all okay.

strong finishing move that pierces his MR/armor from his meditate and eats him alive cuz he was very squishy. 2 hard CC abilities that were easy to hit on him and completely shutdown his combo. (silence him during meditate, or cast Q on yourself when he starts jumping).

you were innately tanky so he couldnt burst you no matter how fed he was, and you were able to 100-0 him with Q and R alone.

back in the older days, it wasnt the league of gapclosers, so cho was still a very viable pick and could do very well against most champions.

nowadays, msot champs have too much mobility, and are easily able to get out of his Q
