I can't get use to him cause they keep changing him. Truly gives you an insight into how they roll. They are flying by their seats. So much for their balancing. I guess they say "a little of this, and a little of that. NOPE. Too much of that."

Kog'Maw Attack speed growth increased to 3 from 1.5 Caustic Spittle (Q) Armor and Magic resist reduction increased to 20/25/30/35/40% from 12/16/20/24/28% Mana cost reduced to 40 at all ranks from 60

**Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) ** No longer grants passive 15/20/25/30/35% attack speed. Now also deals 5/10/15/20/25 flat magic damage while active.

Umm, what you are describing is exactly what they are supposed to do with the PBE.

Except Riot rarely ever says, "Damn we fucked up, time to scratch it". They release it live and go "I know we fucked up, but instead of reverting the changes and hence the problem, let's keep making more and more changes to parts of their kit that aren't the problem until eventually something works".

This is actually kind of a nerf, which keeps in touch with their changes in 6.4

It kind of balances out because of the way AS works. Growth also increases your base AS which means that AS bonuses are actually better. So item's do help him more instead of his kit, but the way they changed it almost cancels out the AS removal at around level 9 which means he only is getting slight nerfs. And his Q is being nerfed while also being one of his hardest abilities to actually land at range and then follow up on.
