Patch 25.23change

While he's no stranger to being played in all sorts of alternate roles, Cho'Gath has a naturally fitting jungle kit and we'd like to make that work well. We're adjusting his E damage vs. monsters to no longer care about their max HP and instead just deliver a solid punch to get through his camps. This should be an unequivocal buff to early monster damage.
