Kog'Maw is in the Top Ten least played champions in the game

So this is a question to all the people who don't play Koggy.

Why don't you play Kog?

What is it about him that you find unsatisfying? Is it that he's unfun? Is his lack of flashy mobility too much of a deal breaker? Is he just so vulnerable that you don't feel like his damage is worth it?

Responses so far:

  1. Mobile in-your-face champions are more fun
  2. Koggy is too team reliant to be played in Solo
  3. He's been nerfed too heavily along with Twitch
  4. His damage and range don't compensate for his damage
  5. He was more fun when he had synergy with Madred's Bloodrazor

  1. He got nerfed to the ground, along with twitch
  2. He's very team reliant, meaning he has to have his team protect him constantly 3.He is seriously immobile, more immobile than twitch

I don't like people who stay far from the fight. I like people like lucian/graves.

Kog needs a team built around him. Super weak in solo queue because people are all trying for kills and nobody wants to protect him.

For solo queue, you hypercarry with more self-sufficient carries like Tristana or Vayne.

  1. Enjoys in-your-face style champions
  2. Too vulnerable for unorganized play when less vulnerable champions boast similar damage (Corki and Vayne)
  3. Too immobile (fits in with 2)

More or less along the lines I was thinking, but any additional insight is valued!

It's a shame.

I like Kog... But I don't like going bot.

There are the rare instances I can bring him Mid and royally out poke my opponent with W after shredding defenses with Q and slowing with E.

But those moments are few and far between. Most people see me pick Kog mid and think I'm trolling.

Kogmaw stopped being fun when they removed madreds and tiamat's ranged application.

Dat splash damage on the enemies from attacking the tank

I'll add loss of Bloodrazor synergy to the list.
