Koggy would be a significantly more effective Tank-Buster if his W and R did physical damage

Just grab some armor pen runes, run TriPen, and shred 300 armor down to 50.

As an added bonus, grabbing Manamune would allow him to get all the benefits of the AP build without gimping his auto-attacks. Sure he would be losing out on Athenes, but is losing out on Athenes really that huge of deal at this point?

Probably wouldn't ever happen, though. Kog doesn't have nearly enough dashes to make flashy-dashy plays.

I think tanks have a hard enough time as it is, what with all the Percentage of Health abilities, Last Whispers and Blades of the Ruined King lying around.

Hehe, I agree.

Itemization is such right now that any ADC can relatively trivially destroy a Tank, so what do we need someone like Kog'Maw for? If Tanks could actually, y'know, tank then Kog might actually be worth picking sometimes rather than languishing in the 'Never Picked' pool along with Galio and Yorick.

You've run some statistical analysis on the numbers then, yeah?

Share them with me. Which super-tanky common picks would Kog be hard-countering? Oh wait, there are none of those right now because we're playing League of Assassins.

Yes and you'd also ruin the AP playstyle and turn him into a one-dimensional ADC. I know his AP style is not that strong with the nerfs to Chalice, Lich Bane and his ult. but I would hate to see it removed.
