So, Kog'Maw got a new splash on the PBE, AND IT IS AMAZING!!! Just look at it:

I just love the details on this splash. If you notice on the left, not only is Helmet Bro's... well... helmet there, but there's also a Razorbeak, some Antlermice and a Lizard, all critters from Summoner's Rift VU!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Pyrrasu8 votesI'm not a fan of this at all. The art is nice, but they've completely changed Kog'Maw's texture. He looks... leathery. Isn't he supposed to be an armor-plated insect-esque creature? Now he looks like a sea turtle with an extra set of eyes.
ZekromEX4 votesMost Insect's Skin look leathery, have you seen a Cock rouch it's wings is basically it's armor it looks leathery. and I don't Kog'Maw is a Incest so...
Crazycatperson14 votesIncest is a little different than insect, and I would advise you not to confuse the two.
ZekromEX1 votesyeah that was my bad.
Pyrrasu1 votesCockroach wings are very different than the entire rest of the bug's body...
SecretLore1 votesWell now he finally has the same colour scheme as the one he has ingame. It was always kinda weird that he had a different one on the artwork than ingame.
InvalidGuest4 votesMy guess is that kog is next in line for the texture rebalencings of next patch. This is essentially what they did with akali
as they gave her a new splash art and then she was one of the first texture rebalencings
Shaded Striker1 votesHappened with Orianna
too.
brusque5 votesThis is so rad. Kog looks a lot scarier in this splash. You know, I wonder if Helmet Bro was part of a legion of helmet bros, because Kog looks like he just digested whoever that helmet belonged to. o_O The helmet bros do not seem to like The Void.
sp4414 votesNah, It's only one guy.
And Helmet Bro's fine, he just confused Kog with Cho'Gath and ran away, leaving his helmet behind.
Don't worry, he has spares, he is helmet bro, after all.
AmbushIntheDark5 votesI mean, It looks great but... It doesn't match the art style of ANY other Void champion. Like, even a little bit. The dark gritty new Sion splash works because hes actually a zombie made purely for war. But kog? I suppose its implied that hes an all consuming beast, but hes essentially Malzahar's pet dog. This is a creature that comes from the same place as Cho'Gath and Vel'koz, but instead looks like its from a different game entirely. At least Kha's difference in appearance from other void champions can be explained with his whole "evolve and adapt" thing. But Kog just eats everything, hes like a toddler with acidic saliva. It also doesn't match Kogs voice imo.
Dont get me wrong, this is fantastically drawn and I love all the details, but to me it doesnt feel like Kog'Maw
SecretLore3 votesTbh,I thought the same at first,but I think this is actually a good thing. While Kog is from the void and eats others,he is not really malevolent,he is still rather immature and learns as he grows and eats stuff and I feel like this picture actually captures that feeling
missinggrave3 votesKog'ma is a precious child that just wants a snack.
And of course by snack I mean anything that he can melt down enough to fit in his garbage disposal unit we call his mouth, but you know, details shmetails.
SecretAgentHulk1 votesI'd really go for a VO update that makes him Void-Gnar.
Tapu Fini3 votesIt's extremely defined compared to pretty much every other skin. I can only hope all skins will eventually reach this amazing level of quality. Shyvana and Orianna are the closest comparisons I can think of, and they're also recently updated.
He is from the void, and I think this captures the horrifying, yet not fully developed nightmare beast, quite well.
Keyshe4 votesI like this splash a lot, love the lighting, glow and gorgeous shadows also all the little details, however there is one issue that catches my eye. Kog is very grey and a lot of his skin and form details are smoothed over. Unless he has a visual rework coming soon there is a disconnect from this splash and his in game model.
sp4414 votesY'now, for a ungodly horror of gluttony that came from the space between spaces which is so horrific that the mere sight of it will drive all but the wisest and most composed of men irreparably insane... he's pretty damn adorable.
MrBuffington3 votesHelmet bro can't catch a break; Sion isn't even out yet :P
Remlap12232 votesSo uh Rito, I know his splash art isn't 
bad, but can GP get a new one once his rework goes live? As for Koggle's new splash, keep up the good work Art Team.
exiledFromBadmen2 votesWho's the Helmet Bro? 
me please
The6DollarMan2 votesI love how he manages to look both adorable and sinister at the same time. The lighting is great as well.
HyperSMB1 votesNew Kog'Maw looks pretty sick.
Ironclad Dragon1 votesI must be the only one who doesn't like this "Helmet Bro".
Destínum2 votesPretty much.
Meep Man1 votesKog has both the monstrous and cute look here, I LOVE IT!
Flintfall1 votesKoggles gave me my first pentakill, so upon seeing this splash I am suddenly reminded I haven't given him any love recently.
cshakes1 votesWhen I first looked at this, I thought it was Malphite ._.
Then my brain wrapped itself around the scale. Koggles should probably look smaller and more adorable. Perhaps some more visual indicators for the vartical axis?
