I noticed a small change to Kog'Maw's Lore

Previously he met up with Malzahar at the League and was ostensibly sealed there like Cho'Gath was.

Now the situation is left open, he's still wandering around Valoran looking for Malz, likely making friends with (eating) everyone he meets along the way. I know Malz was often pitched as hanging out in Zaun back in the Journal of Justice, but I don't know how accurate that is at this point. That would leave Kog waddling through Noxus to get there, which would probably result in... confrontations.

Considering that Kog's lore suggests that he breaks reality around himself simply by existing, I'm not sure how those confrontations would go down. A creature that's unhampered by silly little rules like Newton's laws of motion and the conservation of mass would probably be difficult to kill.

So what is Kog up to right now? Has he eaten anyone interesting lately? Is his character capable of evolving beyond 'wants to eat things'? He doesn't seem openly malevolent, just hungry and curious. That kind of alien mindset could actually make for some pretty interesting Lore exploration.

Kog'Maw's not the only champion with this change; Dr. Mundo, Irelia, Galio, Nidalee, Leona Varus, Xin Zhao and Rumble all have had the IoW omitted from their lore.

On the pbe right now the same applies to Talon, Urgot, Jarvan, Caitlyn, Vayne, Annie and Blitzcrank.

Slowly all champions with small IoW mentions will be re-written like this while they wait for a proper rewrite.

They erased the mentions of the IoW in several lores,kog'maws lore is simply one of them.

Also I dunno how you get the idea that kog breaks the reality around himself.

And overall I think Kog'Maw is one of the few void-champs who actually have quite some space for character development,I mean kog'maw is basically a toddler,so he wants to learn. He might learn that not everything has to be eaten,that he can bond with others(even if its just a means for him to get more food) and then there are possible plots about Kog'maws dad that could end up very interesting.

All your questions and more will be told in the action packed episode of a void event....when ever that is

I'm pretty sure that his stomach acid is the reason for eating large things.
