What reason is there to pick Kog maw?

Now before i get downvoted,I'm NOT saying that KogMaw is crap.

Now KogMaw is 1 of the 3 adc hypercarries. The other 2 are Jinx and Vayne . But why would someone pick kog over either of those.

Vayne has mobility with tumble. Condemn can act as self peel. She also melts everyone because of true damage. According to the wiki she has the highest attack speed of any champion at lvl 18 (not counting runes,masteries and items).

Jinx has self peel with flame chompers. Late game she can choose between long range aoe crits and lots of attack speed. If she gets a kill or an assist on a champion or turret then she can have both.

KogMaw No mobility or self peel like the other 2.Can deal alot of mixed damage but only for a certain amount of time. He's basically useless when w is on cooldown. His q feels kinda useless since he does so much magic damage. Thematically it makes sense but in game it's meh which is why it's maxed last. W does magic damage do its reduced by mr unlike vayne's true damage.

Also kog has the worst early game of the 3. So why would a player put in so much extra effort with kog when they could pick the other 2 and have a better early game and more overall survivability

Really? I don't see him doing that much more damage than Vayne.

Well if they have 3-4 tanks on the enemy team kog with hurricane would melt them in seconds. Unlike vayne who can only focus one at a time.

Also twitch and Tristana are considered late game hypercarries. Especially twitch.

Tristana and twitch also have better early game. Trustana has rocket jump to escape and twitch has his invis. Also while vayne can only target 1 person. She kills them faster than kog

So basically because of a gimmick.

This... also because Monarch Kog and his /joke.

He's just a fun champ because of that. Granted I wouldn't likely take him into Ranked but yeah...

None of those 3 champs are very strong anyways, not compared to the meta Ashe/Jhin/Ez/Lucian/Sivir

Useless when his W's on CD?

He can still contribute. His Q lowers the target's MR/Armor. That's actually been buffed when they nerfed his W so it shreds more defenses. That Q isn't just for Kog. Your entire team can take advantage of those reduced defenses. His W is on a short enough CD that it shouldn't really matter anyways. If there's any anger to be focused at Kog, it's his immobility and lack of escape. He is the definition of glass cannon SMG. Actually... Jhin is the actual glass cannon. :P
