Kog used to be a hyper carry with a great mid game power spike and a great build path. He was easy to play with a high skill cap. Kog was also known as one of the worst early game adcs. Now his win rate is 39% http://champion.gg/champion/KogMaw/ADC. He went from being number 1 on the damage charts to the lowest. I dont care how op kog will be in lcs with 4 people built around him i want to enjoy my champion without a 4 man comp protecting him and most of the other kog mains agree with me.

What kog gave up for his "late game"

  • Tri force sheen procs
  • Level 6 power
  • Percent w damage mid game
  • mana costs
  • the ability to trade in lane
  • Come back potential
  • a build path
  • the ability to kite (2.5-3.0 as)
  • Mid game power spike
  • His damage

What kog received

  • Some w that had the base damage gutted and some onhit cheese builds.
  • Lower winrate then twich jung

As a League Of Legends main I'm mortified by this preseason, and I'm going to take a break until this all blows over Look at my match history to see why

Kog was originally designed to be protected while he deals tons of damage.

Honestly the issue with Kog is the same issue that Old Xerath had and the same issue that Miss Fortune had when ulting before it got a proper damage buff: The damage you do is situational, and the moment an assassin gets on your face, a Tank gets on your face, or you face a CC like Nautilus Depth Charge you are doing Fuck All for your team. Attack Speed doesn't let you Kite, so you either are doing a ton of damage for half a second before you eat literally every auto-attack/spell in the entire game, or you are giving up potential boatloads of damage to dodge skills that would kill you.
