Kog and Corki do a lot of magic damage. A large chunk of Corki's damage in mid game is magic. Kog's W is all magic damage. I don't think it's that ridiculous to get mpen on them. With that said though, yeh, I think the lifesteal is better.
Something i just don't understand when playing jungle is why some solo lane players never take exhaust, when they know they are having a hard time laning against their opponent. If the lane has exhaust it makes ganks so much more likely to succeed that it pays off more than ignite if you're facing a hard matchup.
I like playing junglers who can run exhaust/smite because of said reasons, but that is not always a possibility and 2 exhaust are just great for any lategame teamfight, because most of the time you will have 1 not on cd to use on the enemy carry if he doesn't have cleanse.

Oh. Maybe I just caught that. I was browsing Solomid streams, and got tricked into wasting 5 mins hoping for some Day[9] quality shit.
You'd be just as disappointed by the show itself in that case.

Maw of malmortimus (?) ?
I get that thing alot, then again Im on EUW and duo AP with wota is still very popular. Makes me kill the squishy APs just that bit more effective without taking too much damage.
i think getting a hexdrinker is fine but upgrading it is too expensive, you survive longer and do more damage with straight up tank items or even a phage. Most champions who get it like J4/Lee have natural damage that a pickaxe adds nothing to.

Maw is only worht getting after completing other items. The key part to bruisers is to build defensive AND offensive stats at the same time. Pretty much every single bruiser item does this. The movement from Hex -> Maw, offers only Offensive stats (30 AD) (6mr increase is negligible) and increase in spell immune shield, but costs additional 1900~ gold i think? That amount of gold can get you phage+chain vest, or wrig's (1600), which offers a good chunk of armor, attack, and utility.
tl;drHexdrinker is still cost effective, but from Hex->Maw isn't.
I'd only consider upgrading to maw early on someone like olaf when I'm against an ap, getting both ad and as when you get low hp is so juicy, like fruit.

The thing i like about this on carries like corki, ez and kog is the fact that 6 flat arp doesn't apply much for me and the lifesteal+both pens makes me scale like a nasty boy. Should be worth to point that along with these masteries i run a weird mixture of scaling mp5 seals and glyphs+armor and mres aswell as 2 armor quints. Also i feel the 8th point in utility (usually either imp. recall or +0.5% MS) is spent better in the offense tree for those 3 champions.

It's not even worth it though >.>, because maw only increases resistance by 6, and 100 spell immune shield. You're better off just getting phage, which gives more health than the increase in bonus shield, is cheaper, utility, and slightly less dmg, for 600 less gold.

It's a glitch where you can put 30 points into a single tier 1 mastery. What that person is abusing is no cd flash. The much worse one is +30 AD at level 1.
