Cho'Gath
GameplayCho'Gath is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- The delay before the rupture does not include the cast time.
- The animation is visible in brush and in fog of war.
- Cleansing the airborne will not prevent the slow.
- The slow itself can also not be blocked by spell shield, but will always be prevented if the airborne was.
- The slow itself can also not be blocked by
- The area will still rupture even if Cho'Gath dies during the delay.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Feral Scream uses edge range for enemy targets only; Its range is center-to-edge.
- The missiles are launched from an offset 25 units in front of Cho'Gath and towards the target's location on-attack-complete.
- When attacking enemies within 25 units center-to-center of Cho'Gath, the missile will fire in the opposite direction.
- Cho'Gath's size factors into the wideness of the hitbox Vorpal Spikes has. External size modifiers ( Wild Growth) contribute to this.
- At certain size thresholds, the missile gets replaced by a different one with a different width. At each step, the width grows by 30, except for the 3rd missile, where it only grows by 10.(note)
- Some of the size thresholds are placed very weird.(note)
- The missile range is unchanged.
- The empowered attack will trigger but not apply its effects against structures.
- The increased size stacks additively with other size increases.
- The name of the bonus health buff is "Feast".
- The bonus attack range and increase size cap at respectively 16.25 / 12.19 / 9.75 and 16.67 / 12.5 / 10 stacks, with the last stack being effective as the decimal part of the value (no decimal meaning 100% as effective).
- Each stack of Feast increases the damage by 8 / 12 / 16.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- If an enemy champion has health below the amount of true damage Feast deals, they will be marked for execution. This indicator does not consider shields or invulnerability.
This indicator is only visible to Cho'Gath.
Champion skins[]
- This article section only contains champion skins. For all associated collection items, see Cho'Gath (Collection).
From the moment Cho’Gath first emerged into the harsh light of Runeterra’s sun, the beast was driven by the most pure and insatiable hunger. A perfect expression of the Void’s desire to consume all life, Cho’Gath’s complex biology quickly converts matter into new bodily growth—increasing its muscle mass and density, or hardening its outer carapace like organic diamond. When growing larger does not suit the Void-spawn’s needs, it vomits out the excess material as razor-sharp spines, leaving prey skewered and ready to feast upon later.
