AP kogmaw is no where to be found?

I have been playing this dude since midseason start. I am having trouble understanding why he isn't getting more play. I have tried looking up any recent build on it, and the most recent ap kogmaw build is over a year ago and it is kind of bad.

I want to make an honest query here. so ill expose myself: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=jurojinwuji

Im not the best player, but with that being said my AP kogmaw kda and dmg per game are outliers to the rest of the champs I play. It has never put me behind in a ranked game.

Every game I go what I used to do in when I first started league :item 3165 item 3020 item 3115 item 3089 item 3135. very simple straight forward build. And for the sixth item I add item 3285. a lot of times I will build ludens in place of nashors if I feel like aa's would be unsafe. My seventh item is selling my boots foritem 3085 if needed.

I use a mag pen, move speed, mana regen page.

I go thunderlords.

I max E in lane. q second.

end game, it is over 600 ap. I'm not really trying to put numbers up but look at it yourself. AP kog does very good dmg.

It is honestly the only mid I feel comfortable playing anymore because as much as it is good burst dmg it has safe wave clear and anti tank properties. I personally think it is amazing. Most notably, towers take magic dmg now and it scales with ap. I personally believe it is better than that ridiculous on hit kog that is somehow mainstream.

for a kit to have decent ratios and a defense shredding skill and a spammable execute sounded too good to not abuse to me. I don't get why no one else is even considering it.

Can I get some second opinions here? would anyone mind trying it and tell me what they think? I wanted to keep it to myself until I hit gold but, it bothers me that the season will end soon and no one is even trying it.

Please don't dismiss it with out giving it a try? i feel like there's a right way to play certain champs undeniably, but all i have been seeing for kog is the wrong way. I mean, the dude has the antithesis of an AD ratio, why build ad?

My preferred AP Kog build is: item 3091 item 3115 item 3089 item 3135 item 3158 item 3027 So I can shred people that build or don't build MR with ease.

hey,

That seems like a cool more AA focused build, but im not trying to specify a build. Im just trying to figure out why there is no ap kogmaw meta.

he has zero waveclear, try playing it into Yasuo and see how much fun it is struggling to CS under your own tower

It is fun tho, I won't lie.

?

kog can clear a wave with e+r.

easily.

I wish I could record gameplay. i was just doing it in ranked. the second he hits 6 wave clearing is very easy. ive out pushed TFs and ziggs numerous times.

i feel like no one knows what his base dmg or ratios are.
