Don't nerf kog maw just because his winrate is high.

MunchCrunchLunch·Aug 25, 2016·4 votes·800 views

his playrate is 1/8th of ashe and jhin. that just means his playerbase are playing him for the most part. not someone picking him up in a cpl matches and spray and praying the enemy team into oblivion. he has clear strengths and clear weaknesses. probably the most immobile adc while being extremely squishy. and no hard cc like some others that don't lack in other areas

just nerf soraka shes back at it with a winrate just as high before grievous wounds changes.

No worries. With all the nerfs to all the other S tier ADCs, Lucian will no doubt return to power and will resume crushing Kog

Kog'maw's playerbase is the single least experienced of any ADC. Literally over a fourth of his playerbase consist of people with 1-5 games on him.

He's a champion played almost entirely by noobs.

the average playerbase stats are specifically very misleading for that website as it accounts for last year stats when kog maw wasn't really. strong at all. and not many probably played him

Just remember, the best cc is death

Provided Riot finally gets around to giving Kog a new passive, I would be totally okay with a 'nerf'.

when kog maw dies he does 99% of everyone max health as true damage

That seems like fair compensation.

I was thinking more in terms of making the double attack speed/55% AD ratio his passive and having his W grant bonus range and OnHit damage only. That would make him slightly less useless when W is down. And losing his on death nuke would be a pretty large nerf. That thing is strong enough to pass for an Ult.

They need to rebalance the power around his W. They stuffed literally everything into one skill. You shouldn't be able to build nothing but on-hit effect items and delete everything in sight just from using one skill. =/

i do agree with that. but riot philosophy with ad carries in general is just auto people to death. with i hugely. disagree with. its not a skill rather an aa boost ability.

an adc auto late game does as much damage as a zed Q or sometimes even twice as much in the case of jhin. skils fall off and autos grow because they gain too much from itemization.

So what does Kog do when you catch him out? Turn on his rapid fire and try to kill you first?

if I remember correctly, Kog'Maw actually has one of the lowest playerbase average games amongst marksman champions... so i don't think it's just kog mains wrecking face with him, it's people who haven't played him for very long at all wrecking face with him.

Either that or half the Kog playerbase is made up of people who play him a ton, and the rest are people who've played him once or twice and then dropped him, since averages are relatively shitty ways of portraying some statistics...
