KogMaw = tank tho hehe

AhristocatsAug 14, 20173 votes

you're wrong, he's a juggernaut

hehe

PennsAug 14, 20173 votes

to be precise, I think kog is an early game lane bully late game scaling mid game spiking assassin high range burst mage control mage juggernaut + tank marksman atm.

hehe

AhristocatsAug 14, 20171 votes

now if i'm being serious, Kog isn' t a lane bully his early game isn't garbage, that's all, but he can't bully people, just answer to poke with a strong poke on his own (W) and is safe with doran shield and warlord

PennsAug 14, 20171 votes

he lane bullies me once he has a item 1053 tho xd

Full on invincibility from a tank support.

Kills someone that isn't a tank.

Tries to use sarcasm.

You out-sustained the damage...because you were FULLY INVINCIBLE, given you had invincibility from your tank support.

And when tanks are strong, guess who else is strong? Late game hyper carries. Kog, Trist, Jinx if she wasn't still nerfed into a crater, Vayne when Riot finally gets her out of that crater she was nerfed into, Twitch...champs like that.

As a side note, I'm kinda tired of being hostile towards you. Until further notice, I'm gonna just let bygones be bygones. But yeah, this vid wasn't a good vid to get your point across.

we had 0 tanks in our team, taric was squishy af cuz he rushed ardent we had fiddle and ryze, only "tanky" champ was renekton with black cleaver and stoneplate, he wasn't even here

they had Sion and j4, and they still lost

cuz kog is bullshit

710 range juggernaut tank is balanced

i outsustained the damage? j4 was stunned LUL and he built cinderhulk, he had 0 damage at all i still had heal i wouldn't have died from anything

Well, let's put it like this:

It was 33 minutes into the game...so late game. Assuming you're good at the game, which despite venomous hissing and rattling from days past, I'd wholeheartedly believe, you were well into your build as a hyper-carry pick.
J4 jumped straight into a hyper carry by himself + didn't build much damage (your build has some hp and some mr, no armor, but you even said he went Cinderhulk) + missed his knock up. Your team being there was insurance, but just by virtue of you performing well up to that point and the disservice he did himself with his build/missed skill shot, he was pretty dead the moment he hit R.

With this all in place...honestly, Kog's kinda always been like this ever since I could remember. When Kog's on items he can wrap a game up just by not dying for a few minutes. At 33 minutes, without being behind, that's Kog's time to start pulling ahead. I'm not surprised by it.

we had 0 tanks in our team, taric was squishy af cuz he rushed ardent

Fair.

we had fiddle and ryze, only "tanky" champ was renekton with black cleaver and stoneplate, he wasn't even here

Fair.

they had Sion and j4, and they still lost

Fair, but it's also fair to note that J4 built for defenses rather than for diving (not sure why), and Kog is designed to eventually eat away people who do just that. You could say that you counter-picked the current meta with the Kog pick.

cuz kog is bullshit

I mean, at 33 minutes, any hyper-carry that didn't feed except Jinx is gonna be pretty bullshit. (RiP my home girl before the current home girl.)

yeah kog is balanced

710 range juggernaut tank is balanced

It's more him abusing Runaan's, Censer, his own passive, and Ruined King with Phantom Hit than it is "710 ranged Juggernaut". Phantom Hit procs on RK gives him double the life steal from the passive bonus damage on every other hit, and he's also getting protection from Lulu.

But yeah, Kog's been a problem for a while now when it comes to his overall balance. He's either too bleh or too ridiculous. Been that way for a long time, and that's why they tried changing him a year ago...much good that did.

Sometimes its nice not being in high enough ELO where people cant coordinate to do this lol. Its rare enough down here for people to follow up on a blatantly obvious wombo combo. Im glad nobody knows how to use kog'maw down here because if i ran into shit like this regularly I wouldnt be a happy camper. Pretty sure your video is fake because malicious metal isnt playing huedekaiser.

it was a normal draft mode game, i wanted to show him how kog was just retarded in high elo, and i did it, you can ask him what he thinks about kog now

https://i.gyazo.com/9bde11c9ede6db31fb03f904dd5b1874.png

all high elo players build kog like a bruiser he cannot die, watch deft playing him Kog builds frozen mallet and witsend/maw+tabi and sell it for GA in late game he gets armor/mr/hp, frozen mallet slow, and shred everyone while draintanking with censer+BORK+maw lifesteal+ in aoe with runan+x2 with guinsoo

Kog is a 710 range juggernaut

he's pick/ban in high elo

Malicious MetalAug 14, 20174 votes

He's legitimately disgusting.

Zero effort required while you just right click and drain tank everything they throw at you. And people are complaining about Draven with Death's dance.

Mig89Aug 14, 20171 votes

someone hacked your account and played taric. might wanna check that out lol

Malicious MetalAug 14, 20171 votes

I play a lot of Taric as of late. Mostly because SOMEONE has to play Support when we queue as 5

PennsAug 14, 20171 votes

why "has to" support is best role tbh. sit back and enjoy the W hehe

Mig89Aug 14, 20171 votes

Oh i believe you. My point was, down here in the plebs, kog is meh because coordination is extremely rare XD

Don't give Diamond too much credit. It isn't THAT sunshine and rainbows.

Tanks are spammed in 3 out of the 5 positions in the map, meanwhile 5~6+ tanks per game in competitive.

I wish that many tanks were the meta. That way, we can actually flame the the Top/Jungle who locked in Riven/Yi/whatever, and try to billet that job to the Autofilled Support.

I like that draven is pretty much in the top 10 and even 5 in every single ranked tier.

almost as if there's a pattern about him...

a meta isn't defined by one champion.

TEA Nietzsche Aug 14, 20171 votes

So I came into this thread and thought "damn, what a shitty comp".

And guess what. Riven got absolutely DESTROYED by Cho'Gath top (no surprise, it's a tank). Master Yi was useless, Ezreal died a ton to deal some damage and botlane lost to Thresh - who in my books is still a tank even though Riot recently created the "Catcher" class.

2 tanks >>>> 0 tanks, therefore OP won.
