I would like you to add nocturne to his counters because of his W and he can kill you in you own jungle spots almost every time you spawn unless your mid has a good team play.
I think he got and wandered off because there is no boots in the guide though he says later to sell the mobility boots. Later in the items section he says start with ninja tabi but then at the bottom "Sell Mobility Boots late game and replace with Tabi depending..."
Probably because that's something AP Cho does, and both the top and jungle guides don't really encourage AP Cho. He's viable enough mid, I'm honestly surprised there isn't an AP mid Cho guide...
I definitely feel starting Hunter's Machete is the way to go. It will give you more damage in the jungle and builds into useful sustain items later. I especially disagree with buying a philosopher's stone and then selling it to get the spirit stone later given that the former is only 100g more.
One a side note, now that armor and magic pen have been made way better, is it better to now concentrate on stacking health, getting other stats as secondary concern, than actually buying items like Frozen Heart early? My current thinking was to get something like Spirit of the Ancient Golem or Warmog's Armor fairly early to tankdamage and build specific defenses later on.

Might want to adjust the guide a bit.

Posted 12/14/2012 4:50:00 PMToo much? No such thing. Though I find it odd that this build lacks an Abyssal Scepter, when Cho'gath tends to be in the middle of the action.
