Am I the only one that doesn't mind the kog buff?

Like he needs it badly, they over nerfed him. If it was your main champion you would want the same.

I mean I play Ashe who is fairly dumpster fire for a while and I'm fine with it. It isn't fair that a champion be gutted just because people don't like them.

I saw some people saying "well they need time to adjust to the nerf" but there is no time needed. Nothing in his gameplay changed, it was strictly numbers and now he sucks. There is no compensating for that, no way to adjust to just doing less damage.

That's not entierly true. Yes, only numbers changed, but what changed is the per rank gain on his W, which usually is maxed first. One can adapt to that by switching from W max to E max, which allows to clear ranged minions at lvl 7 from 1200 range with E+R, helping alot to savely farm up duering the now eaker earlygame. It also mostly hurts his synergie with guinsoo's, which has been his rush item, so one can adapt to the changes by going for different builtpaths, like good old trinity.

his numbers changed WHICH MEANS the gameplay changed

I when i mained darius, the -10 ad on noxian might made it so i couldn't all in laners at lvl 1 anymore because the damage i done to them was not worth the entire wave creep aggro anymore

it's exactly the same with kog now that he deals less damage, kog mains need to fucking understand that they can't facetank people anymore and kill them in 2 seconds they need to understand that they can't waste an item slot to build frozen mallet anymore

It isn't a waste to get mallet, it's his defensive item. Its like getting Merc Scim on Ashe, it isn't a waste it's just how you keep yourself alive with being so slow and squishy.

I mean i'll just permaban him because I'm a pos who doesnt want to deal with strong adcs.. so it doesnt really matter except now i cant ban trist :l

I don't mind, id rather see strong nerfs then a few qol buffs become riots norm rather then micro nerfs stacking over time. Breaks up FOTM players, less frustrating for mains to see patch after patch of nerfs.

kog's kind of a weird guy because he's got excellent range, hits hard, and is very fragile and has very little to zero disengage. so....uh...he definitely requires more skill than say, Tristana....

No he doesn't need buffs. He is a hypercarry and should be monster in late. Before nerf he spiked at one item and had 54 winrate in 20 minutes games. Now he has 47 winrate in that long games so it's fine since he is supposed to win more games that are much longer than this.

I don't mind that he's getting buffed, I don't like how he's getting placed back in the meta so much quicker than most other subpar champs.

Kog has been overnerfed, and those buffs are necessary - and while that is fine, what isnt fine is that other champions dont get the same treatment. There have been numerous cases in which champion was overnerfed and didnt get any compensations until few months later.

Should that be a reason to withdraw Kog buffs? No. What most of us fight here for I believe is fair case in which all champions would of been treated equally, sadly though they arent.

I don't understand the outrage because this is still a nerf compared to where he WAS. It doesn't hurt to meet in the middle between 8.2 and 8.3 to see how he performs in 8.4

These folks need to chilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Yes

Because buffing the rightclicking of a rightclicking adc is the worst idea someone can ever have

they should have buffed his ult
