Tons of built-in CC with his Q and W. It makes him a huge threat when ganking or skirmishing with the enemy.
Cho’Gath can easily get kited by ADCs and champions with dashes in team fights. This makes it hard for him to catch out mobile champions.
If you can’t hit your Q or W on a target when fighting them alone, you’re pretty much always going to lose the skirmish as you need to land these abilities to interrupt the enemy.

Your Ultimate R can really help you during fights, especially if you manage to get into the enemy backline and Ultimate R kill a major carry.

He should be stronger during the mid-game as he will have earned more defensive stats thanks to using his Feast R on minions and champions.
The longer the game goes, the more stacks Cho’Gath will have. This makes him quite strong in the late game.
When he hits level 16, Cho’Gath will put the third and final point in his Ultimate R. He will be able to easily bite down on and execute enemies who are caught out of position by his team.
Depending on his build path, Cho’Gath will either deal a lot of damage in late game fights or be incredibly tanky.
