League's most adorable immobile tank-busting artillery platform
To say that Koggy is a bit underwhelming right now would be an understatement.
He is, without question, a niche champion. Problem is, he's having trouble doing his job on account of him getting heavy-handed nerfs after he did okay in an LCS game where he was taken in a 2v1 lane in order to get him as fed as possible. That's a pretty common occurrence, sadly. Koggy getting ham-fisted nerfs because of play in a skill level that 99.99% of the game's user-base couldn't ever hope to match.
His niche as a long-range auto attacker is getting trampled by Trist and Jinx. He deals more damage late game, sure, but because they ramp up so much faster while ALSO being much safer it's difficult to justify a Koggy pick. The fact that Dragon is such an important early objective isn't helping matters, either.
So anyway! I think the best thing Riot could do for Koggy is to focus his character a bit. Right now he's an immobile tank-busting artillery platform that's also a long-range machine gun sometimes. Personally, I think the best route to take would be to cut out the 'long-range machine gun' portion since the range on Koggy's W offers a whole bunch of power without gameplay. It would be the easiest thing to cut while still maintaining the most fun parts of Koggy's identity, it would crush the portion of his kit that nets him nerfs from high-level play while at the same time opening up a HUGE amount of kit power.
To that end, I want to check to see what Koggy players feel the most fun part of Koggy's identity is. What portions of his character do you find most appealing, aside from obvious things like how adorable the Void Puppy is?
