Kog'Maw Q MR/Armor Shred

NodirjonSattarov··2 votes·534 views

Kog'Maw's Q starts at a 40 mana cost on a 8 second cooldown and provides passive 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% attack speed, Magic Dmg 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+ 50% AP) and RESISTANCES REDUCTION: 20 / 22 / 24 / 26 / 28% of 4 seconds

Since Riot doesn't want Kog'Maw to be AP, we can completely remove the fact that we will be using this ability to poke champions with. Instead, we use the utility aspect in the sense that their defenses are lowered for 4 seconds. Assuming the standard enemy ADC Lucian has 34 armor at level 6 and you've invested in Q 3 times, the %armor red is about 8.16 armor for 4 seconds. Using the armor/dmg reduction ratio (100/100+armor) = dmg reduction, Kog'Maws basic attacks WITH NO ITEMS will do 61.84 physical damage x4 autos (assuming he is at 1.00 AS) which equates to 247 physical damage. THIS IS ASSUMING THAT EVERYTHING IS IN YOUR FAVOR When trading with Jinx, if you land a Q and 4 autos you out trade her by about 43 p. dmg (assuming she hasn't used any of her abilities). On top of that, the projectile speed is so garbage that http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Kog'Maw doesn't even have it.

Edit: My point is that the ability is worthless along with his other abilities besides W

It used to shred flat resist, which allowed Kog to gnaw his lane opponent down to nearly zero resist with a pretty potent targeted nuke and out-duel them. Made for a very effective squish-trading tool since Auto-Q-Auto hurt quite a bit and couldn't be avoided.

But it was turned from a dualist's tool into a tank-busting tool. Which... is still useful, I guess? But not nearly as hilarious as knocking soft targets into negative magic resist with Q and Wit's End.

Personally I would love to see some changes to Kog's Passive and W. Axe the Q attack speed to begin with. It's nothing but flavorless power. Passive attack speed is just the worst.

Give Koggy a new Passive that applies stacks of flat hybrid resist shred OnHit. Remake his Q by increasing projectile speed and width a bit, drastically lowering the cooldown, and adjusting the damage to match. Make the Q convert the Passive stacks into multiplicative stacks of percentile resist shred when Kog nails someone with it. The Passive shred value would be the minimum shred value per stack.

So?

Now Koggy can utterly annihilate enemy resistance, which would be a unique niche among Marksmen. Even better, it would absolutely nail Kog's supposed niche of being the glue that holds together low damage/high utility teams. Not only is Kog's personal damage really strong, but his ability to destroy enemy resist helps his whole team's damage, too. Suddenly a team with shitty damage has pretty great damage just because they have a Kog to protect.

Don't forget about the passive AS it gives

Using the Statistic growth formula (Statistic=b+g×(n−1)×(0.685+0.0175×n)) and bonus attack speed formula, at level 6 has an attack speed of 98.4 whereas Jinx at level 6 (fully stacked Q passive, 3 stacks) get an attack speed of 1.15.

Once again, the ability is useless and projectile speed is slower than my grandmother.

Then level it last. It helps for killing tanks late game

You are arguing that it is a useless ability in which I should level it up last. I don't see where you're going with this.

Wrong. Q is an useful ability. I hit it all the time when playing Kog.

That's why you have a 22% win rate with Kog in normal games. An actually you haven't even bothered playing Kog in ranked since the un-rework.
