Now would be a good time for a new Koggy Innate

Ideally something simple that would allow his power to focus on the interesting parts of his kit. Something like-

Eldritch Acid: Kog'Maw converts 100% of the physical damage he deals into magic damage.

This would be an intresting idea, but would also remove a lot of the mixed damage he can deal. I also don't think rito is gonna release anything that drastic for the adc's right now, they wanna give em 1 round of playtesting on live.

Well, yes, clearly it would remove his mixed damage.

But Corki is pretty explicitly the mixed damage ADC now. One of the central goals of the ADC remake is to give each of the games Rangers unique gameplay space that they occupie which doesn't tread on the function of other Rangers. With the new Rageblade on Koggy (which you should be buying without question), his damage is split nearly 50/50 between magic and physical damage. And then there's that Ult...

Koggy dealing heavy mixed damage steps on Corkie's toes (landing gear?) so it seems to me the best thing to do would be pushing Koggy out of that gameplay space and give him the unique niche of 'pure magic damage Ranger'. Now, I suspect pretty strongly that this would be an overall nerf to Kog's power compared to where he is right now on PBE. His Innate is really strong and really undervalued, which is pretty much the worst possible combination when it comes to Innates. Giving him a more readily appreciable (but much weaker) Innate would allow power to be invested in more interesting parts of his kit.
