Hey all

I recently began to play with kog maw (i bought him for his rework and played with)

Let's say it, the usual build doesn't work for him, since the Att.spd is truly core on him

From my small rank and level, i thought to oriented him on att spd / on hit effect mainly, and it seems to work sweetly, i need to try again later to see how it's in the 5.23

But here how i'm building our kog :

4 Mark of Att.Spd (1,7%) 5 Mark of Flat AD (0,95) 9 Seal of flat Armor 9 Glyph of flat MR 2 quint of Att.Spd (4,5%) 1 quint of flat Ad (2,25)

For an overhaul of 16% att spd, 7 ad, 9 armor, 12,1 MR

And masteries, my build is unusual too, i'm running on a 6/18/6 system, with the keystone that increase the MS when we hit for 30% of damage an ennemy champion

The build itself, i'm rushing guinsoo item 3124 since it provide, AD, AP, Att.Spd, it's an excellent item for him After, i built wit's end item 3091 , it's definitly (in my opinion) an item made for kog He bring to him on hit effect (applied fully when we use "w" ), RM, and reduce the RM ennemy too! After this one, i'm used to rush item 3153 or item 3146 depending on the context, both are great for kog in allows him to have a great sustain (botkr give a good force with the passive and the speed, and hextech grant a better sustain) After this, i take item 3085 which is really good on him too, fire canon can be useful too, but less than runaan For the last item, it's situationnal, we can take a full ad item such as item 3812 or take more defensive like mercurial, or angel garden

What's your thought about it, and what you build you ^^?

To mention ahead of time, I play Koggy on Dominion mostly, so that changes things a bit.

Core build is Rageblade, Tabi, Wit's. What you build after that should depend completely on what you're up against. I would generally advise against building Crit on Kog. His W and Ult both scale very strongly off bonus AD and you want to take advantage of that. Toss in Executioner's if you're having trouble with a sustain champ. Going tanky (Mallet plus two pure tank items) allows you to still deal considerable damage while being very difficult to kill. Softer lifesteal focused builds can work if you aren't very worried about burst damage. The build mentioned above (with Tabi rather than Zerkers. Seriously, Tabi is amazing.) is devastating while at the same time being able to take some pretty significant hits.

Think of Kog as a ranged Juggernaut rather than a glass cannon. You'll have quite a bit more success with him.

My favorite Kog'Maw build: 18/12/0 taking Fervor of Battle keystone Flat AD marks, scaling armor seals, scaling magic resist glyphs, attack speed quints (I know the convention is to take flat armor seals, but I cringe every time I take them since they got rebalanced). item 3153 item 3124 item 3006 item 3085 item 3036 Sixth item is flex item 3026 item 3072 item 3031 item 3091 item 3157

AP Kog'Maw is mostly different: 18/12/0 taking Deathfire Touch keystone. Magic penetration marks, scaling armor seals, scaling magic resist glyphs, flat AP quints. item 3070 item 3285 item 3020 item 3003 item 3116 item 3089 Sixth item item 3135 item 3151 item 3157 item 3146 item 3041

Take no marks, seals, or glyphs. Only quints, for the purple glow.

Take 0/18/0 masteries, since the Cunning tree has a purple background.

Take support Lulu.

item 3512 item 3056 item 3091 item 3285 item 3153 item 3027 (I would buy boots, but those are not purple)

I guarantee that they will not see it coming.Post
