Why not just nerf him to 42% winrate like you do with every other overpowered rework? Can we just get a revert on Mordekaiser, Vladimir, and Malzahar? Oh wait that wouldn't happen, it is much better they be worse then before the rework. Why the fuck is Kogmaw getting special treatment??????????
oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votescuz kog was still strong pre-rework and just going back to that would be enough of a nerf to bring him inline. he wouldnt be broken but can still the the hyper void carry he has always been known to as .
Bunnymap2 votesAll of those 3 champs were more toxic before their changes Kog actually had a good design before and they tried to make it better and failed, so they reverted it
Brutalitops011 votesNone of those champions were more toxic before the changes. The kits were significantly weaker. All of them were at troll pick status. Toxic = bad to play against, not bad to play as.

Brutalitops011 votesMordekaiser is confirmed to be getting another rework at some point. Vladimir and Malzahar are certainly in better spots than before their reworks because they're actually seeing play rather than being considered troll picks (legit I was once reported for trolling because I simply picked Vlad top before the rework). Let's take a look at the least successful rework among these, Mordekaiser, vs the Kog'Maw rework: Mordekaiser: Attempted to force him into an awkward role (melee bot lane carry) Only worked at first because they made him literally busted Got nerfed down a bunch because Riot realized it was terrible but also realized that Mordekaiser shouldn't just be reverted into his previous form (which was also super nerfed for balance reasons)
Kog'Maw: Protect the Kog'Maw comp Made him MUCH too much of a monster late game Pre-Rework Kog did the thing that they wanted from the Kog rework without it being literally a guaranteed win if you let Kog get to 3 items unless Kog's team is trolling/intentionally feeding Also note that the only change being reverted is the W giving him doubled attack speed and doubling the cap
They both have similar problems for game balance, but Kog's rework can be solved by just reverting the W change. Mordekaiser likely needs a full VGU to get him into a relevant spot without being busted.
