I'm thinking about saving for kog'maw, and I want to know what items to buy on him. Could I get a build and some little insight on the items as to why you buy them?

I buy 6 Hydras because I don't believe in a "meta".

if going mid Tear > Ludens > Void staff/Rylais AP Kog has amazing poke, but not the greatest of ratios. You want tear for the mana pool to keep poking, ludens to basically increase your ap ratio on ult pokes and the ms for kiting, rylai's to slow when you land an ult so you can keep landing them, void staff for when they start to build mr. You can also get a liandries so your poke burns through tanks hp a little better and the flat pen helps vs squishies. Final build looks like item 3040 item 3285 item 3116 item 3151 item 3135 item 3020

if going adc Trinity Force > BotRK > Last whisper > Situational ADC items

Trinity force because you easily weave spells between autos. You can get either Phage or Sheen first for it depending on how the lane is going (Sheen makes W+Auto good harass, where phage is better for surviving and last hitting) BotRK synergizes with Kog's W super well, and adds a little self peel with the active slow Last whisper cause armor is annoying :P

So final build could look like item 3078 item 3153 item 3035 item 3139 item 3102 item 3006

Kog can go for the noraml adc build : item 3031 item 3072

He could also go blue/ap and deal his damage mainly from a distance with his ult item 3040 item 3174 item 3089

Personnaly, I like to tap in my on hit effect with item 3153 . At that point I deal about 12% max hp on hit, so I feel i have enough damage to cheat and get item 3083 which grant me much more time to dps and probably solo the tanks and assasins who could jump on me. After I go mostly full attack speed item 3085 since I don't need more dmg and I want to proc the on hit as much as possible.

Good thing he is free next week. What position are you using him as?

Anyone know any hybrid builds for him? If there are any that are known of course.

I was thinking of getting both Manamune and Archangel's Staff to double up on the passive and let him spam more. After that I don't know what he'd build, but probably percent health damage of some form and maybe survivability. Any suggestions for items?
