Stack stats, get a Mejai's, hit level 18 and then make everything EXPLODE (and then you're helpless for 45 seconds if more than 1 person wants to kill you) I've always been a fan of Ryze but I'm not sure if Mejai's is best for him (I used to get it but now I don't). I like this build: Doran's Ring + Health pot, Tear of the Goddess + Boots 1, Start building situational item + Sorc Boots, upgrade Tear to Arch, situational item, situational item I guess there are some situations where Mejai is best for the situational item but it's pretty rare. If you're having a good early game, getting Tear + Sorc Boots + Haunting Guise + Blue Pot is gonna give you a sick mid game. And that mid game should earn you your Arch pretty quickly, which will make your AP jump over 100 for 1810 gold. You should also be trying to get near the max CDR (40%) toward the late game. So that "helpless for 45 seconds" is kinda wrong. And you want to use your passive to get your R back faster. You should be getting your R back in like 20 seconds. Deathfire Grasp and Frozen Heart will help with CDR. But once your Q is leveled and you get blue pot + golem buff, I think that should be maxing out your CDR anyway. | ||

I think he's very similar to Corki. Two nukes and a skillshot low CD ult nuke. The differences are as follows: 1) Kog has a passive Last Whisper and Bloodrazor 2) Kog can't blind DPSers 3) Kog has no natural escape mechanism 4) Kog has an AoE slow 5) Kog DOESN'T have an AoE ability that scales with damage I personally think that Trinity Force Last Whisper would be a pretty good build. You ignore their armor, your nukes have a high base damage, and you proc trinity force every 2 seconds with no CDR just using your ult. On the downside, you have no survivability, but that's what 750 attackrange is. I think Kog'Maw could work in the current tanky metagame, though he's harder to play and less snowbally and weaker early and doesn't have the inbuilt escape that makes Ezreal a god. | ||

Or i use it to give me time to pick off their squishy. But i probably use R -> Q -> E -> Attack -> Repeat and i throw in W in there if they start running. :/ | ||

1) Kog has a passive Last Whisper and Bloodrazor Corki's passive kind of accomplishes both | ||

Ryze is not even useless while his ulti is on CD, Q still deal lots of damage and W still keep the enemy stand still :-j... btw, veig rapes ryze with tears fyi.... | ||

Frozen heart is really good against the current teams I've been seeing... Massive Q and enough armor to survive. Doran's is a waste in the beginning when you can buy a mana crystal and 2 pots and zone people out with just a few Q's | ||

RIOT's inability to balance has faded out the need for 'casters'. hopefully this is only a temporary metagame shift since it wasn't that long ago that tanks RIOT faded out the need for tanks (during janna disengage/heal/rescue comps). but right now tanks lane way too well (ever laned vs a good nasus and felt stupid as he free-farmed and you didn't do shit?) and DPS discrepancy between tanks and "carries" are disproportional to their ability to survive. even heimer becomes useless when 5 tanks just dive tower+3 turrets and insta-gib your team. tl;dr tanks are stupid, hard carries and "casters" are dead, RIOT blows | ||
