Daily reminder that Kog'Maw still has a 44% winrate

Best Kog NA··5 votes·695 views

ADC Kog'maw is essentially unviable because of the changes Riot's made. Are there any plans to... you know... actually make it so he doesn't have the lowest ADC winrate and the second lowest overall winrate behind Ivern?

That usually happens when Riot.. whats the word... oh yeah, guts a champion.

There's no changes for Kog'Maw on the PBE yet. He's been this way since 6.19

Woohoo let's not wait at all for any changes to the game and start complaining about a champion being low winrate mere weeks after their changes. Great idea.

It's been 2 months

Roughly 41 days is not two months. It's not even a month and a half.

I'd also like to point out that riot is currently working on the fucking preseason and is probably busy with that.

Plus it's better to settle a champions problems after massive changes to the game.

yeah it sucks when it happens to the champ YOU play doesn't it...

i don't play Kalista but she was fun to watch, i miss her being viable, (although less so when 8i am support and my ADC ults me at really bad times) RekSai is quite boring to watch.. but she USED to be quite fun to play when she didn't suck so much Azir idk.. he just flat out needs a rework... you cant buff him without completely breaking him again.

and now we have Nidalee who has been nearly trash(45% win rate) for gold and below since riot gave her scaling resets on pounce. but still managed to stay so OP at higher elos riot now has gutted her for EVERY elo... and the removal of strength of ages is going to be a HUGE hit to her.. as the difference between SOA nid winrate and thunderlords is 6% by itself...

so unless something is addressed in 6.23... nid wont be able to do a full clear without backing or getting executed. which is unheard of in the jungle meta.. let alone early game champs that pretty much require a snowball to be relevant...

i havent tried her on pbe as i don't have access,, but i can say for certain... as nidalee with over 1000 games on her as what i would estimate a gold 3 or 4 level at her.. a full clear with thunderlords is not possible in 6.21. i have tried it... i got an gromp leash where the support took EVERY hit and i took ZERO damage form gromp... and i still barely killed red buff without getting executed... there was no WAY i was going to try krugs.. even running to try to heal off scuttle would have been suicide unless i had vision of the enemy jungle elsewhere.

maybe the jungle camp changes will make it possible idk.. a full clear with thunderlords WAS doable in 6.20 (i think... i didn't really every run it because it's horrible compared to strength of ages) but it certainly isn't viable in 6.21 and 6.22 looks to be worse. (granted i dont think the jungle changes would hurt nid that much if she could keep SOA... its losing THAT is what i think is going to kill her NOT the jungle changes)

daily reminder look at how many of these peopel who play kog rush wits end...... 44% there is a coincedence.

NodirjonSattarov1 votes

no one rushes Wits end. where are you getting this data

khorney1 votes

every single kog i have played with and or played agasint has rushed wits end and there logic was it adds more damage to him then getting ap or ad......... cool 42 damage on hi

NodirjonSattarov2 votes

maybe before patch 6.19 Kog'Maw rushed Wits end, but he doesn't anymore. Anyone who does build Wits end clearly doesn't play Kog'Maw as often as people who know what they're doing.

khorney1 votes

i would never build wits end ...... unless they have a strong ap champ i would rather build the build i use, more damage out put

NodirjonSattarov1 votes

I want you to do me a favor. Play a game of Kog'Maw with your supposed on-hit build, and send me the match history. Otherwise I won't listen to anything you have to say.

khorney1 votes

you do me a favor you play a game with my runes mastery and item build and play it on kog and get back to me and then tell me its weak. its logic there guy hi sw is onhit meaning it stacks with every other item in my build and i get it it a active move but who cares w

It is sad but at least AP Kog is viable now. ADC Kog still has decent winrates for experienced players though.

Best Kog NA1 votes

Still doesn't replace ADC Kog'Maw though. You can't just take a marksman and make him a mage. If you do at least rework his w

He was always both. My only point is that at least half his identity is viable even if weaker than pre rework.

AP Kog'Maw may be viable, but he's still in a weaker state than he used to be.

Short answer is "no".

We have an assassin meta coming. Immobile carries are going to be what's known as 'food' regardless of their individual power.

Kog is about to be as far out of meta as Sion can throw him. So now isn't really the time to be asking for buffs.
