The cooldown on Koggy's new W is weird

Rebonack··1 votes·208 views

For those who don't know, it'll have a six second duration and a seven second cooldown. However, the cooldown starts at the end of the ability rather than when you pop it. As far as I know, it's the only auto-attack steroid that works like that.

Was the goal just to prevent it from scaling well with CDR? Because otherwise giving it a 13 second cooldown that starts as soon as you pop it would accomplish the same end result while keeping how it functions consistent with all other similar skills.

Seem like you hit the nail on the head there. Really isnt any other reason to make it work like that.

40% CDR brings it from ~46% uptime to ~59% uptime. I think that's plenty good scaling for an ability as powerful as Kog's W.

I hate to say it, but I think it is preemptive balance for URF

I really can't imagine Riot balancing champions on Live around URF.
