Kog'maw should be reverted to back when his w went past attack speed so he could actually be viable

Kog'maw has been an incredibly weak adc for quite some time since he is too immobile. To compensate for his lack of movement he is supposed to be a glass cannon. He just cant do it quite as well as he could when he could get bonus attack speed and surpass the limit. His damage output would be more balanced with how immobile he is and he could actually be a viable pick again.

Uh, the downsides would be heavily out beaten by the upsides. Just pick Kog with Lulu and that mobility issue is gone. And with how rageblade is at the moment, idk if anyone would be able to survive that rendition of Kog.

Nah, that was like the worst iteration of kog'maw imo. It pigeon - holed him into building on hit. The only way I see kog'maw being not shit tier is if they remove rageblade and give him appropriate compensation buffs so he doesn't have to rely on a niche gimmick to be viable.

And when I say remove rageblade, I mean remove the phantom hit passive. It's fine to keep as an item for hybrid AS users, but phantom hit takes a large part of its power budget, and it forces champions to be balanced around that item..

Also they need to revert his Q back to being a point and click ability because it's literally unusable in lane.

we still end up with the huge problem where only the super skilled players would be able to even use kog since orbwalking with 5.0 attack speed is ridiculously hard. and that's what he would need to be balanced around if that iteration was reinstated.

He would have to be reworked for something like that...

Making the most of his cap breaking w meant the game would be about if the enemy team would let you stand still or not.

I suggested this. Seeing as how everything else is allowed to be busted out it’s asshole. People didn’t agree.
