I love the rework don't get me wrong but it's already hard to ban out the likes of gmane, Leo, tychus, khara, and let's not forget anub with his godly cocoon. Maybe we can get a little love for our favorite two headed ogre? Well here's to getting that perfect surprise draft

tbh, if you play Cho'Gall well, and with an Auriel, even if you have counter, you will win. Just look at his winrate on HotsLogs in TL, it's the highest winrate, with 58-59%, the next one on the list is Anub with 56%.
Also, you haven't played Malthael yet, his kit might seems like a hard counter, but if he has to be in melee to do his damage, he will have trouble vs Cho'Gall, and we don't know yet how tanky he is. Malthael might reduce the average winrate of Cho'Gall, but not by much, after all, there is other counter.
Cho'riel is such an insane combo on a 2 lane map with another tank and someone like valla or lunara.
To be fair, Cho'Gall isn't so specifically weak to % HP now that they reduced Cho's health. They have only slightly more health than Azmo, and less than Diablo with 100 souls (they're equal in HP at around 40 souls)! They also have less health than Stitches (base health).
Heroes of the Storm is Chogall's real counter.
everyone is so scared of this, if anything he's a stitches/diablo/varian counter. standing in melee range against cho'gal as a melee assassin is an easy way to get killed.
A little love for our two headed ogre? In higher TL Chogall is absolutely disgusting to play against. Can't balance heroes around random comp 1500 mmr QM games. The hero is often borderline too strong.
cho'gall is meant to be a niche pick and thus shouldn't be balanced around. he is still a great back pocket last pick!
