Is it possible that Kog'Maw would eventually get his 5.0 attack speed back, even if there's a gut along with it it would make him fill a slot that he doesn't right now. He's a niche pick and he doesn't feel healthy right now as an ADC.
Mysticman893 votesNo, they concluded that 5 AS made on-hit items pretty much impossible to balance.

They have experience with being un able to balance things... you'd think they'd make some headway.

Best Kog NA1 votesW makes on hit effects deal 50% damage. That's a start at least
Denims Wrath6662 voteshow the hell was it a problem though. you quite literally throw a q at kog and half his health was gone. like... ugh, another fun champ gutted because the fucking bronze scrubs couldnt work together at all.
Mysticman891 votesIt ended up being a stat check style of gameplay, as he'd sit there unmoving and melt face while lifestealing faster than he could be blown up, or he'd be blown up.
Kog probably needs work, but it'll probably be in the direction of a trinity force using kog who in an ideal world is kiting and weaving abilities between autos like a couple seasons ago, rather than urf kog.
Denims Wrath6662 votesi dunno, i never found him that difficult to kill unless there was a zil or lulu. and i was always playing high plat, so its not like these kog players were terrible. he was fun, basically an instakilled turret, and if they ignored you they died. simple as that.

Trinity Force is largely a trap-item on Kog. He wants high attack speed to support his W, but using his (shitty) ult to spell-weave reduces his damage output. If his spells didn't interrupt his basic attacks then it might be sort of okay. But Kog can build just about anything and nearly everything is better for him than Trinity.
Mysticman891 votesWasn't suggesting that it's currently a good build on him, merely that it was once upon a time, and I'd expect that they'd tweak kogs kit to reenforce that play instead of making it a trap style of play.

Or they could just recognize that's it's an item for Divers and Ezreal and keep it at that. The old Trinity was good on Kog because it gave Crit% and helped him transition into the late game.
Aatrox Mid 1v52 voteshope he gets looked at when they rework marksmen again. mashine gun kog was so much fun
