Please just give us old Kog back

Riot currently has an obsession with giving every champ an "identity". Generally this comes in the form of a "minigame" or some random thing forced into their kit that makes no sense thematically or balance wise. A good example being with a random aoe heal on an assassin, tank, fighter, adc, hypercarry. (I guess she needed a support ability too)

Considering this, their rework to was all the more perplexing. They basically stripped him down to his W, raising his mana costs in a further attempt to make sure everything is centered around his W. His entire "identity" is that he can attack really fast and it looks kind of funny.

He predictably turned out to be s**t as a result of his terrible numbers.

Well, they finally buffed him, by adjusting his numbers and scalings to allow for more diverse strategies and builds, and.....

Oh, no actually they just buffed his W again.

Now he's strong! Of course, because they moved the passive attack speed bonus from his Q to his W. Now there is zero reason to level anything else. He is even more linear, and he now gets strong a lot faster because he gets a f**kton of stats from leveling one skill. Base attack speed, range, on-hit damage, along with the huge attack speed steroid.

Riot, really, honestly, in all seriousness, just fire your current balance team, or move them to another department at the very least.

People dont like the direction the game is going. They dont like the changes being made to the champs they spent time mastering. We dont want gimmicks, we dont want snowball mechanics, we dont want raid bosses in the form of "Juggernauts". We want a game that is as close to an even playing field as possible.

And this Kog'maw player wants the real Kog'maw back.
