Hextech Kog Maw·9/8/2017, 7:20:06 AM·2 votes·336 views

I want to rework kogmaw or throw out ideas and i would love to see this champ excel i came up with a lot of identity he has set but i dont know what riot expects one the champ to even consider a rework, Kogmaw is either Tank shreader who goes to kills tanks (example his W percent health) Attack speed overlord ( example his old identity on 5.0 ) A devourer ( his lore and q/e set up with eating) Super ranger hyper carry ( example his Ult and E/W ) I have so many ideas for each one of his many identitys i would love to show them but im not sure what riot expects of him

Follow Lore? Follow core design?

All of the aspects you listed are the list of viable identities Kog can take, apart from his base identity. His base identity is the pure combination of his lore and kit.

Lore: curious and very hungry void monster, focused around his mouth and spittle as his distinctive feature Kit: Long range attacker with weaker damage from abilities and aa damage, with this combated by his high attack speed, range, and additional damage on hit.

You can use that base identity as a spring board for your rework

Just put the ideas out there and see what happens. Mods may move it to gameplay, unfortunately, since gameplay is a little less ... open and supportive than concepts/creations.

Though if it's just rough individual ideas, perhaps.

And I've always been a fan of lore = gameplay. Make playing the champion support who they're supposed to be. So I would suggest finding what Kogmaw is at the very core and working the gameplay (and/or lore, if needed) to match. Now, an important note (at least for me) is that you have to find the central point; everything else is just fluff that can be ignored and changed as needed.

I don't play Kog, nor know his lore, so I have no input there.
