After playing all..... kog clearly has the advantage late game if not on 1v1 ambushed. For example: Kog can attack turrets from a farther distance. Point goes to kog.
Only time I wish I wasn't kog was when I was ambushed. HOWEVER, if I ward and have more map awareness wouldn't positioning NOT be a fair point on why I should use someone? (Kinda contradicting farther turret range but you have to admit....)
Sozan53 votesI don't think he have as much advantage as you think he does.
The only thing going for him is his 710 range at max W rank. While this is nice, he is below average range without it (Kog have 500, while Vayne have 550 and Jinx 525).
His damage output late game isn't higher than Vayne's at all (not sure about Jinx). The magic damage from Kog'Maw can be easily outdamaged by Vayne's true damage. For example when enemy have 2k health and 70 MR - Vayne will deal more damage than Kog (I do count both per 3 strikes). I'd say that Kog will outdamage Vayne only in very rare cases (against level 18 squishies for example, as they rarely buy MR and their health is anywhere between 1700 and 2000).
Also, Kog have lower dps by himself as well, with 100 AD and 45% bonus AS from levels at 18. Even if we add Q passive (30% attack speed) to it, the dps will look as follows: Vayne: 120,5 physical damage/s Kog'Maw: 116,5 physical damage/s
And mind you that Vayne have mobility and even CC, which Kog desperately lacks.
Anyway, my point is - Kog works if you build a team around him, but even then he's not much better than Vayne - if at all.
Hasztalan21 votesCuz he is a sitting duck, just like ashe unable to defend himself, and needs a special team built around him to protect and cc for his dps.
Meanwhile with vayne u go in solo 1v5 and get easy pentas.
disregardable1 votesBecause Kog is easy to shut down and Vayne/Jinx aren't. I personally play Jinx, and once I get my level 4 BF sword it is essentially impossible to stop me. Games are over by the 30 minute mark. Why play a late game champion when you can play an early game one, guaranteed to dominate? That's why people played Lucian.
