Random thought, full ap rageblade kogmaw

KuroXide··2 votes·337 views

So, kogmaw's W has a 7% max health damage per auto at level 18, with a 1% per 100 ap scaling. With 700 ap (random number, not too high or too low lategame) that's 14% max health per auto. Guinsoos Rageblade doubles on hit effects, causing every second attack with max stacks to deal 28% max health damage. Pair this with the attack speed from Rageblade and Nashor's Tooth, this could be a really deadly combo. What do you think?

Kog is already good building on-hit. He doesn't need AP. Just stuff like Botrk, Runan, Wit's, Rageblade

yes, but full ap gives a massive percent max health on hit. I'm honestly surprised I've never seen anyone use this build, because on paper it seems insane

you can, but you stack more as than ap. nashor's to give a small extra ap ratio on your autos (and as), wits end for more magic on-hit and magic pen (and more as), rageblade for obvious reasons, then you can afford some ap and further magic pen. problem with this build is that is spikes extremely late, while ad kog is strong right after triforce.

It's probably because to get so much AP you sacrifice attack speed. While building Botrk gives both %hp and attack spped.

which is why i mentioned to "get more as than ap". it's a similar build to ad, just a magic version. ad doesn't build a lot of ad either.

So what build do you suggest? If you build more as than AP how many AP Will you get? 100-200? So 1-2% hp.

typically i end up with probably 300 or close to it. the thing is, the items typically have their own on-hits, and the ap scales every single one of his abilities. granted, it is not the optimal build which is why ad is mainstream since rito keeps insisting on nerfing ap kog.

however, it is good in a situation where your entire team goes ad, and you want some magic damage.

Sounds like fun. Try item 3124 item 3115 item 3146

AP Kog has mana problems and you can't get high AP with crappy items like the on-hit stuff. Also, you will need magic pen. It's hard to itemize vs ADC Kog, but AP Kog doesn't deal any substantial physical damage.
