"Kog'maw is a late game adc that has a weak early game"

"kog'maw is a squishy adc"

builds frozen mallet witsend QSS and has 110 mr 3k hp while still outdamaging any adc

fun :^)

As a Kog main for three years, there's actually pretty decent itemization to work against him right now (Certainly better than pre-last midseason). The Tabi/Adaptive helm combo is really hard for him to play against, pair that with an anti-attackspeed item like Thornmail or FH and it does quite gut his damage. Or just don't let him get to 6 items, and while he does have a nice lvl 1 and 2 due to QW, he's weak in the rest in the rest of the early-mid game. While he seems scary, there's a few rules most people seem not to get.

If he rushes guinsoos/Wits end, he's doing little to no AD. Don't bother rushing Knights Vow or Sunfire into that. Until he gets runaans/botrk, he still has very little scaling AD damage.

The amount of time I've seen people rush armor into kog and then complain about dying is ridiculous, especially when I'm rushing wits end/guinsoos.

I kinda liked the old Trinity Force Kog that weaved R casts into his autos. The concept of weaving Living Artillery casts into his combat pattern seems like it's worth revisiting.

Okay as someone who plays adc but not Kog Maw I can say that you have never played in lane against Kog or you are just lying. You can abuse him pretty easy on early now that the Relic meta in adcs is gone. But the circlejerk must continue.

Is this the latest hot topic champion that the community is now going to parrot as being OP now that Vayne got nerfed even though nobody had ANY issues with the champion a few days ago?

Oh boy!

onhit is outscaled by crit lets be real. only thing keeping him relevant are his protector supports like janna and lulu.

Think you meant to put this in memes and games

Once I played support , my adc ran mid at the 10th minute without me , he did a god damned Quadra kill. without his

HES OVERPOWERED AS SHIT AND NEEDS TO BE DELETED FROM THE GAME.

Kog’Maw main with 426K mastery here, though most of that comes from Jungling or playing him as a Tank in top lane though.

Void Doggo is pretty strong now, if he does need nerfed I’d prefer a hit to his base stats then any mechanical changes.

Kog’Maw as a Marksman can be put in the same group of Marksmen as Twitch/Vayne/Tristana, with his niche compared to them being that he comes “online” quickly, but has a less stable super late game due to not having self peel or stealth to safely “wait in the wings” before surprising everybody.

One of the best things you can do against a Kog’Maw is establish vision control and track him and his team, and catch people out, it doesn’t have to be Kog’Maw, anybody you take out is somebody who could peel for Kog’Maw or distract from him by being a damage threat in their own right, Kog’Maws teamfight scales directly with how many teammates are nearby.

As for actually taking out Kog’Maw in a fight its fairly standard, hit him with a CC and then dogpile him before moving on, Vi or Jarven VI are always terrifying to fight as Kog for their range on engaging.

The issue is how do you change him? They tried reworking him before and had to revert most of it.
