HOLY FUCK THANK YOU RIOT I'VE MISSED KOG'MAW SO MUCH.

Since Kog'maw's utterly failed rework, I've played him only a handful of times. Seriously, at no point during his rework was Kog'maw a healthy champion. He abused items so hard they needed to be reworked. He was permabanned up until those items were reworked. And sooner or later people found other shit that was just as broken when it suited that meta.

I refused to play him primarily because he didn't feel like Kog'maw anymore, and because I have this weird moral code not to abuse broken champions unless I was already playing them.

And I don't know where Riot got this twisted idea that Kog'maw is meant to be a stand still point-and-click artillery god. I always saw him as being somewhere between Corki and Twitch. Kog'maw has always felt most satisfying to play when it's been rewarding to kite for days and weave in as many abilities as possible to maximise my damage output.

For anyone wondering, the kog build I've been experimenting with is this:
