Kog'Maw isn't gutted, he's actually really OP

Restless Slumber·Nov 18, 2015·2 votes·1,209 views

The build that everyone has not seen all along is so simple and reminds us all of a purple guy named . Items in order with for your boots. Get fervor as your keystone and only look to fight when you have your guinsoos at 8 stacks. When even or ahead you destroy people with ease. The only problem I have found with this is that you need a hard engage support for when you get your 8 stacks. So I recommend pairing this green guy with this guy.

Best of luck in your games and tell me if you enjoy the op Koggles.

Edit: apparently it was a glitch that liandries was procing on his w, so replace with either a void staff or bortk.

Kog is beast late game. But the games never go 30 min anymore so he doesn't get seen

You don't need to get to lategame with this build though. Just get guinsoos before the enemy gets their powerspike and it's pretty much gg. A standard build on him yes would be good, but this build overall makes him good at all parts of the game, which is what he needs in the meta we are experiencing right now.

guinsoo's is literally overpowered. it ain't people crying wolf.

It's not that it's overpowered. It's that it's a good early powerspike for AA heavy champions and is still valuable throughout the game with its great stats it gives.

It's literally OP. It single handedly brought back the Mean Green Meme Machine AP Master Yi.

Ehh, I don't find it OP. There's plenty of counterplay to the item. Most of it being as simple as don't fight when they have 8 stacks and fight when they don't.

It is wrong to say guinsoos is op rather than kog lol

Restless SlumberNov 18, 20153 votes

Sorry, not op. But it has perfect synergy with his kit in its current state, as his w scales off of AP and AD, granting you tons of on hit damage once at 8 stacks of guinsoos.

no, item 3151 only procs on spells not all "magic damage", so only abilities activate it.

there are better items for an adc to heal than item 3146

Please test it. I've only seen my friend get liandries on Kog in a custom and it was applying the liandries passive on hit. Plus gunblade synergizes with all of the on-hit ap damage you are doing with this build. This isn't a standard ADC build, most of the damage is magic damage, moreso than corki actually.

Alright i tested it in a custom. There is no bug. Kog's W does not cause his autos to proc liandry's.

NekusenNov 18, 20152 votes

there is a difference between magic and spell damage

And i quote:

Spell damage is not specific about damage type; physical, magical, and true damage spells work.
Most abilities which apply On-hit effects such as Infinite Duress and Toxic Shot will **not ** trigger . Also excluded are items with on-hit effects such as and

Guinsoo's takes way, way too long to stack... if you're fighting only when you have 8 stacks, you're only going to fighting at enemy objectives or drag/herald because at your own turret, you can't stack it worth a crap.

Rageblade is way too situational. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too situational.

Restless SlumberNov 18, 20151 votes

You stack it faster with runaan's and it's good for in lane fighting. When you're fighting over OBJs you should already have your runaan's. It truly does work.

No you don't.

Rageblade stacks OnAttack.

Not OnHit, specifically to keep it from being stacked in three attacks on ranged champions.

Restless SlumberNov 18, 20151 votes

Welp. I guess I'm mistaken. Maybe it's just the godlike attack speed that stacks it so fast. Either way I've found it to be a success in game that I've been even or ahead in.

take out item 3151 item 3146 and add item 3036 / item 3153 item 3078

Restless SlumberNov 18, 20151 votes

NOPE. gunblade heals with all of the on hit damage and since most of your damage with this build is magic damage the liandries is good, plus it gives the passive on autos with w active so you are an insane tank shredder.

Clint OrrisNov 18, 20151 votes

I just tried it and I actually got a lot of success and has a ton of fun with it. I was melting even the tankiest of tanks with ease. I substituted the liandries for a Bortk tho.

where's the item 3115 ?
