Can we please do something about Kog' Maw?

This may sounded salty, I don't really care.

First of all, what is his role suppose to be here? Late game power-house as in what sense? AD carry or just mainly playing AP. Last time, I check marksman, he is suppose to be marksman, not some stupid 1 trick pony mid lane.

My bronze friend literally play him only and since there's no answer most of the time, he just raise to gold 1. Is he good? He is okay but in no sense of what i believe deserving to climb up there with a one-trick pony.

I understand the fact that dive him and ccs are all you "need" to take him down. However, most of the time, a Kog'Maw with some level of common sense will know that his poke range is stupidly high.
At late game, without needing many kills, a poke from him could take 30% of carries health bar off, assuming he doesnt build Luden's Echo.

Do you guys think we need to do something about this champ? Personally, I think of all the old champs, he is one of the biggest f***** up. He needs a nerf or at least define his role a little.

Kog'maw plays as an INSANELY squishy champion with massive damage. As an ADC, he has great damage, constant Trinity procs, and massive DPS. As an AP, he has amazing poke, great burst (EQR), and reasonable DPS (WR).

Either playstyle requires 2+ items to be really effective and has no hard CC or mobility, making him die to literally anything that gets in range of him.

Have you tried Denying his Blue? AP Kog is Really freaking Mana Hungry.

Lategame any "poke" from any other midlaner will take maybe more than half of your carries hp, so your arguments are silly. The dmg of AP Kog comes from Ludens and stacking of AP, his ratios are not great at all, plus he needs to stack Tear, because of his low mana pool.

Ap kog is only good +level 11 and Kog's R only has a 30% ap ratio. So 120 + 30% ap + 50% ad + 100 + 10%. with LE. Lux and Xerath with some cdr have better long range damage too this is just a silly FOTM thing.

I think lol needs all the variety it can get. Why not a adc that can be a long range ap caster too?

Koggy was made back in the days when Riot still thought that hybrid champions worked, as such he tends to go full AD or AP.

When the new version of Crystal Scepter goes live, Riot is either going to totally gut his R, or completely remake it, mark my words. And this is coming from a Koggy main since his first free week. He's going to be able to 40% perma-slow folks from 2k range. It'll be absurd.

He really, truly needs some work. He's the only ADC with both an Innate and an Ult that don't really mesh with the rest of his kit that well. And that kind of range and uptime is going to be oppressive with the Scepter slow. QWE are fine, they all do their job. But with the coming of the new AP items, I think it's about time Riot finally looks at his Innate and R.

The R is a ton of fun.

AP Koggy is a ton of fun.

But playing against Scepter Kog is going to be nightmare.
