What's up guys, it's me SVgesus/Unicky. I'm here to bring you my concept for Dog'maw or Pub'maw as some like to call him. I think the idea has been out there, but to my research, I haven't found many threads talking about this idea so I think I'm gonna give it a whirl.

       Introducing Dog'maw : The Dog That Devours Anything (I'm sure he made off with your homework somehow)

The model includes fuzzy brown fur, a generic red dog leash, dog ears and all but 2 of his eyes closed. Paw-like gloves on both claws and feet.Giving the appearence that he's not really a dog, but he's really trying to be one which gives the skin comedic value.

Animations Idle - Sits down like a normal dog and gyrates it's...Whatever that thing is.

Walking - tries to walk like a regular dog but then gets back on his hind legs and repeats the cycle.

Running - Takes long exaggerated leaps like a dog would. (Falling on his face at random when moving out of combat)

Auto Attack - Fires a variety of dog biscuits and treats at his opponents that crumble on contact

Critical Strike - Fires something a little crazier, like hull of a battleship, or the official LoL Worlds Trophy that dent and fall into the ground.


Gimmick - Dog owners

Dog'maw changes the particles on his abilities to those related to the champion he's in the game with. Personal belongings or call backs to previously reworked assets of a champion are all candidates for particle effects. So for example, if you're playing with a Soraka, your ult might turn into her old starcall ability or if you're playing with a Xerath your abilities might have some arcane energy in them. The list goes on and on. You can opt out of this in champion select for the original abilities the skin has. Additionally, you can give one champion your leash changing your particles to only stuff related to their champion.


Abilities

Icathian Surprise (Passive) - He glows oozing with various liquids. After a short run he does a dive tackle exploding the belongings he's eaten leaving a pile of stuff. (With Dog Owners Activated : Kog'maw explodes with stuff from his teammates, like Graves cigar.)

Caustic Spittle (Q) - Spits a glob of foggy saliva that drips off the opponent it hits during the debuff durration. While inflicted, Kogy gets a little more excited when attacking them. (With Dog Owners Activated : The particles are mixed with other champion particles)

Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) - Mushes all that dog food into disgusting streams of "Bile and Bits" dog food at the target. When critting, he shoots Liquid metal or steaming hot objects that boil into goop when they hit the ground. (With Dog Owners Activated : His Crit animation shoots out some champion related things)

Void Ooze (E) - Kog'maw regurgitates a hairball that rolls out and unravels with tools and stuff inside. This ability leaves a trail of hair that tangles in the opponents feet slowing them (With Dog Owners Activated : the stuff inside of the hairball changes)

Living Artillery (R) - Kog'maw launches a tennis ball into the air hitting the ground and creating a shockwave. If this ability lands on an opponent in execute range, the tennis ball explodes onto the ground sending bits of rubber flying everywhere. (With Dog Owners Activated : the animation changes to something related to the champion. Like a cannonball for GP)

That was my skin concept for Dog'maw or Pub'maw. Thanks for reading. (This is of something I wrote on /r/KogMawMains that I wanted to share with the boards.)

The idea for a Dog'Maw (great name btw) skin is pretty good. But not as an ultimate skin. Ultimate skins actually shall represent the strongest form of the champion... like if they reach the highest power available for them. Elementalist Lux is an example, she was able to use light magic from the start, but now she is able to controll all the elements. Spirit Guard Udyr has finally defeated his rage and lives in harmony with the animal spirits. At least that is the new concept for ultimates.

An ultimate skin for Kog'Maw actually should show his metamorphosis into a full grown void creature. What we got right now is his larvae form. It would be cool if we get a ultimate skin some day, showing his transformation into a more powerful creature. Maybe the model changes based on his CS score.. like he had to eat enough to become the imago.

So: great concept for a standard skin, but I would prefer something else as an ultimate. But I would like to see a Dog'Maw skin in general.
