User blog:KeithCornell/Champion Rework - Cho'Gath, the Terror of the Void

Ah,, how long has it been? Yes, today I am tackling a rather old champion, in an attempt to bring him up to date. Of course, with a kit as old as his, good old Cho comes with his fair share of problems: mana consumption is off the charts, cooldowns are high, abilities feel clunky at times (looking at you ), and in the end he feels a bit lackluster, unless the meta is good with both assassins (that he counters) and him, because if he's too weak, he tends not to actually counter them. Also, he needs to stray away from the mentality of "I'll be topped off in top lane forever until it's pushing the enemy base" that his passive's sustain tend to let him do rather effectively as long as you last hit. This rework, aside from attempting to smooth out his kit in general, will take the direction of what he is supposed to look like: an AP Juggernaut. He will also feature the Void champions' trademark instability ( and 's mana costs come to mind) in the form of his mana pool emptying itself and filling itself back up just as fast. Instability often means power, so expect power where it might be... everywhere, really.

So how did you think it turns out? Am I making him less interesting, overpowered, or completely worthless? Have I stripped him of his identity? Tell me what you think below!
