This seems like pretty much the best time to do it.
Probably the simplest thing to do would be to move his W %HP damage over to his Innate. It already doesn't scale with his levels in W, so it would be a pretty good fit for an Innate and nicely typifies Koggy's identity. With the loss of his old Innate (which is strong but largely unfitting) that would allow kit power to be spread around elsewhere on the Void Puppy's more interesting abilities.

Eldritch Acid, maybe?
They could keep Koggy's death effect, just make it so he doesn't hurt people when he explodes.
Koggy's little death dance is hilarious.

they definitely should keep the death dance! it is hilarious watching the kog die when his teammates fail to protect him, so maybe they could transition it to his death animation if there's no point in chasing people with it anymore?

Something like just have him run in circles for four seconds, and then explode.

that would be perfect!
Rebonack1 votesReally, though.
Just move that W %HP damage onto his Innate and then buff other things as needed.
Rebonack1 votesThis is honestly all he needs as an Innate.
Focusing his kit more cleanly on what makes Koggy Koggy rather than having a totally unrelated Innate seems like a pretty solid choice to me.
