Hey Riot, can we un-revert Kog'maw?

Clint Orris·Nov 30, 2016·1 votes·1,367 views

Reworked Kog'maw actually brought something unique to the game. He's supposed to be this long range, sieging, poke, tank busting hyper carry. However, he isn't proficient at any of those. He's just so outclassed by every other ADC at the moment.

Now with fervor nerfed, the addition of shielding power from the locket and utility from other new items, combined with defensive keystones like Courage of the Colossus, and with this stealth rework, I believe that Kog'maw would be in a healthy state.

Thoughts?

I think the problem is that because of Kogs ability to proc on hits much more, it forced Riot to keep onhit items weak. As you can see, now that Kog has been reverted, BotRK and Guinsoo's were buffed. Probs not a coincidence.

No. Trinity Force Kog'Maw will always be more fun than "stand still and press W" Kog'Maw. Some will say that it doesn't fit with his identity. Yet he still has his long range %hp damage and high dps. Late game is overrated, anyways. Nobody likes the late game.

I mean he the 5th least played champion out of like what...134? lol He must not be that fun then lol

then leaving a statement as "He'll always be the most fun." Might not be the point you want to get across. He's fun to you as a minority choice.

But to the big % of us we actually liked the whole RALLY UP AND LET EM FIRE When you shred people but the horrible draw back is you can't move around.

Modern Trinity isn't really that great of an item on Kog. He liked the old one because it supplied him with Crit and helped him transition from mid game to late game. If there were an item that built out of, say item 3057 item 3122 item 3086 that he could pick up that would be pretty handy. Kog's itemization has always been sort of awkward since his main steroid as a Marksmen only scales linearly with attack speed.

There were so many scripters with the new kog because when you can perfectly Kite at 5.0 attackspeed, which is basicly impossible without scripts, you are so disgustingly strong

No. I'm done fighting against him when his 5.0 Attack Speed with item 3124 item 3153 item 3085 items just literally shreds everyone's HP in milliseconds.

the issue being that with 5.0 attack speed only the skilled got anything done, and at a competative levcel he was insta banned. Teamcomps that could protect him let him go rampaging around the map without anyway of slowing his roll down.
