Passive - Icathian Surprise: While walking over a puddle of Ooze, Kog'Maw becomes cleansed and dives in it, gaining bonus movement speed and becoming untargetable until he attacks, or the Ooze fades. Kog'Maw ignores Terrain the Ooze passes over.

Q - Living Artillery: Kog'Maw launches a ball of Ooze into the air that drops after a brief delay at the target location, dealing magic damage, revealing enemies damaged, and leaving behind a puddle of Ooze. Each subsequent cast of Living Artillery within the next 8 seconds costs additional mana.

W - Void Hunger: Kog'Maw enhances his next auto attack, becoming melee while dealing bonus true damage based on his attack target's missing health, healing for the true damage dealt. If Kog'Maw kills his attack target he will eat it, becoming Full and increasing his size once he has a point in Caustic Spittle. Eating enemy champions or large monsters increases his size even more.

E - Void Ooze - Passive: Ooze slows, grounds, and strips a portion of the armor and magic resist of enemies who walk through it. Ooze lingers for 4 seconds.

  • Wretched Regurgitation - Active: Kog'Maw spews a ball of Ooze in the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies the ball rolls over, and leaving behind a trail of Ooze in it's path.

R - Caustic Spittle - Passive: While Full Kog'Maw's basic attacks deal bonus magic damage, based on his target's max health, and causes a puddle of Ooze to splash around his target. Kog'Maw's attack range increases based on his size, at the cost of his movement speed, unless swimming in Ooze. While Full every auto attack Kog'Maw makes decreases his size, until he is no longer Full. If Kog'Maw is killed while Full, he explodes, dealing true damage to all units around him and covering the area in Ooze, the size of the explosion and the area of Ooze is increased based on his size.

  • Bio-Arcane Barrage - Active: Kog'Maw channels for a moment, sucking all Ooze around him into his stomach, greatly increasing in size based on the amount of Ooze swallowed, up to a cap, becoming Full. Kog'Maw ignores the attack speed cap, so long as he is Full, and gains bonus attack speed for 8 seconds. Kog'Maw's stomach will growl when enough Ooze is in play to max his size.

I think the ideas is cool enough, except for w that speaks against his "Glass cannon nature". And his passive seems too strong honestly, but I also don't know how to change his passive in a meaningful way. But I do think you are unto a good way to modernize him a bit :)

As a kog'maw main, these would be incredibly cool concepts that really better fit his little story, however i really think the only thing that really needs to change in his current kit is his passive.

W doesn't have to make him melee, he could probably extend that toothed gullet of his outwards a bit, maybe the attack has reduced range but it doesnt need to be melee, i think this version fits him much better and moves him forward in a way that is healtheir
