912Cho'Gath
869Nasus

Utility
2.7Cho'Gath
0.7Nasus
Cho'Gath brings significantly more crowd control than Nasus, with 2.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Cho'Gath far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,976Cho'Gath
