According to FeralPony, making a new big ticket OnHit item is hard because of Kog's new kit

Possibly, future adjustments would likely be more focused around frustration, further focusing her identity, or counterplay. We've made a lot of improvements over the patches to her but she is certainly a polarizing champion that is super fun for a lot of players but also frustrating for a lot as well.

** I strongly disagree she is "holding back" on-hit itemization. I don't think anyone is but if they are it's actually kog'maw himself atm since it's really difficult now to make an on-hit item that is solidly balanced for a group of champions that isn't broken for Kog, and we try to avoid making an item that only works on a single champion.**

Which begs the question, 'why did they fuck up Kog's kit to begin with if it excludes a whole class of items?'

According to that post, no champ is holding back onhit itemization, but if you were to say a champions is problematic with onhits, you'd say it would be Kog, not whoever else was being talked about.

Basically!

No one is holding it back, but if it were anyone it would be Kog.

How do you make an item that's good on everyone but not too strong on him?

Judging from Kog's current state, I would say it's pretty easy. Just make a new OnHit item. Kog would still be bad.

And the original post was regarding Kalista due to her synergy with Hurricane, I believe.

Weird.

They gave Jinx mini-rockets for her item 3085 procs.

Why not just make Kog'maw use the on-hit item differently?

The implications hurt my head already. Items are supposed to be champion agnostic, but it's clear Kog'maw will need something different to make him consistent yet not overbearing.

I would just go on a case by case basis.
