Kog Maw rework?

I feel like KogMaw is not very balanced, his early game is probably one of the weakest out of all the adc champions and its hard to get to that fed point, but if for some reason you played really well early, usually you will dominate the other team without worry until you win. Its just my opinion. I feel like maybe his early game can be a bit stronger and maybe late game a little weaker. (im talking about ad kog)

I main Vayne adc, even though I am not really good with her but I feel like she is a lot stronger early game than kog. And she is considered to be generally a high skill level, hard to play champ. For her early game is especially important.

Any opinions?

Kog previously had the highest average average game damage of any ADC, and tended to wobble back and forth with Karthus for highest damage champion period.

Post remake he's now rock bottom in ADC damage.

Riot seriously under-shot his numbers. But that's still better than buffing him too hard like they did with Graves and MF.

What can I do to get you people to hear me out on Kog? I don't want him overbuffed and then gutted when he is actually strong right now.

I personally HATE the KogMaw rework! It's absolutely horrible and completely killed KogMaw !!! Why you might ask?

  1. Early game, new W is useless. KogMaw now has the weakest early game of every ADC because his W is garbage with 0 base damage. 0.9% HP Shred??? WTF? Before it goes from 2~6% from levels, now it has no level scaling at all! By level 9 KogMaw is supposed to get strong with this ability, but now it doesn't do anything! You need 2 attacks to deal less damage than 1 attack before rework, also costs mana now for some reason. I thought the mana cost was originally removed for a reason... why is it back? Don't forget that KogMaw Is EXTREMELY vulnerable at all stages in the game, being especially weak against engage lanes like Blitzcrank , Leona and Thresh while having 0 lane presence and kill potential on anyone.

  2. Ultimate nerf destroyed AP KogMaw . Now this build path is completely ruined and no longer viable. Why?? The damage is soooooooo low, only good for execute and NOTHING else at all. KogMaw went from being one of the best champions for sieging to being very medicore, completely outclassed by many. Isn't that why you were supposed to pick KogMaw over Vayne ? Strong sieging? Not anymore...

  3. Only in very late game does W become strong, when it finally does more than 1-2% max HP damage, but.. you still can't move when attacking... how is KogMaw supposed to kite? Just stand there and eat every skillshot?? Are we supposed to become religious so we can pray KogMaw AA kills enemy before we die every time KogMaw uses W? Or is KogMaw 100% useless in every team comp except for full protect? Even then once W is gone you lose your big damage and have little range, how is this "giga carry". Vayne has 100% uptime on Silver Bolts, Tristana and Jinx have resets and always high range, is 6 seconds of barely higher damage while being unable to move and having ult ruined really worth it? This 6 seconds of W really worth 0 mobility at all, no escapes, horrible laning, weak poke, no kill potential in lane and subpar without W active? No, very sux

Also this passive still useless on ADC, if you're going to rework KogMaw why not give a real passive?
