I just brought Cho'Gath because I'm sick and tired of having no tanks on our team, and I'm doing great with him (no, I will never build Warmog's on him). Cho'Gath weakness is that he has no stun or taunt. People can ignore him and just directly target the squishies,
Clearly you've never tried to target a super small squishy like Tristana who's hiding behind hugeass Cho'Gath. That's his taunt xD
Also, his Q is a KNOCKUP and a slow. It's pretty much a stun (hard CC at the very least) and it can be used for initiation. Silence is the skill that fks with everyone, prevents escapes, stops people from CCing your squishies, and interrupts channels, etc.
Also, I don't make posts like this in the mainstream areas unless I think justice really needs to be served. But you may be too late anyways, because evidently some of the high elo circle is routinely banning Cho'Gath now.

I'm thinking:
RoA, Banshee, Sunfire, Rabadon, Rylai, and Merc Treads.
630 + 350 + 450 + 500 = 1930 HP boost with a nice dose of AP thrown in.
Too much HP boost, not enough Armor/MR. Part of Cho'Gath's survivability comes from his passive, which grants him HP and MP per kill, minion or champion. It's also why tank Cho is pretty hard to take down solo in lanes. Since this number is a flat amount, stacking HP does not make his passive more effective, while defensive stats synergize with his passive.
Also, Cho might already have issues dealing with people spamming Bloodrazor and DFG. Why make the problem worse?
For anyone thinking "why does Cho need AP?" I would argue that the main reason is so that Cho can flatten any minion wave with his Q+W (except Cannon minions, but R does that trick). You can think of the various ramifications of being able to wombo combo minions =P Damage is a close second on this. Feast does true damage to a champion once his/her/its HP is below the damage that Feast does, and that makes for a sexy .5 AP ratio on a very high base damage skill. It wouldn't be farfetched for a hybrid Cho'Gath to nuke a squishy with just a Blasting Wand.
