Which is why Marksmen changes are coming. I guarantee Kog'Maw will skyrocket with a 5.0 attack speed cap on W

The thing is, you still need to balance damage with the AS. 5.0 AS without the AD to back it won't hurt much with mitigation. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but if he needs to build 5 phantom dancers to hit that, it's not going to be worth it. How much free attack speed is he getting?

No, his W active (I think) grants 100% as.

Edit: Caustic Spittle (Q): 60 Mana 8 sec Cooldown Passive: Kog'Maw gains 10/20/30/40/50% bonus Attack Speed.

Bio-Arcane Barrage (W): 40 Mana 13/11.5/10/8.5/7 sec Cooldown For 6 seconds, Kog'Maw's basic attacks: Gain 90/120/150/180/210 attack range. Gain 100% Total Attack Speed and his spell cast times are halved. Deal 60% damage to non minions. Deal (1.25% per 100 total AD) (+ ~.75% per 100 AP) of the target's maximum health as additional magic damage.

The ability ios going to do TWO things with attack speed, its going to DOUBLE his current attack speed, and RAISE the cap to 5.0 attack speed. So if a Kogmaw is running around with a 1.87(I think thats roughly what he ends up with with his normal build) When he Pops W, the Cap is upped to 5.0 but his attack speed will be 3.74

Jinx and Vayne have been dominating bot lane for months now.

Whether or not a champion is played a lot and their actuall game strength can sometimes work pretty independent of eachother. People like to play Jinx because she is insanely fun when you get to the late game AOE crit. People play vayne because they want to feel like they're doublelift. People play thresh because they want to make Madlife hooks. Thresh and vayne are not broken, they each have about a 50% win rate right now, and even jinx only has a 53% win rate. These champions are picked so much not because they're too strong or because of a lack of diversity, it's just because they are really fun to play.

Jinx has been a good pick for a long long time. Even if your behind in lane just farm up with avarice and then into statik shiv after laning phase to keep your gold close to laning opponent. She is also just really strong when late game comes around. Vayne is really popular at lower elo, but I see so many poorly played vayne's. She has a higher skill cap than most AD carries. The next update will completely change the marksman meta for sure.

Thresh is self explanatory, just a well rounded support in solo q

Like... literally tomorrow.

New item 3085 can crit so Jinx won't be the only AOE monster anymore. Vayne will be far more of a "tank buster" than a "beat literally anyone" kind of champ And a bunch of ADCs got reworks to make them actually unique, and a few of them will PROBABLY be overtuned in 5.22 so I expect to see them.

Still no fix for the skeleton that can do it all Thresh tho, he'll be a little squishier because of the new last whisper, but all his utility means no one will care.

Take advantage of it then. If you know the stats show they are most likely to pick thresh then pick someone like zyra and win lane 99% of the time.

This is how I climbed
