why does he beat ezreal?


From my experience on both sides of the matchup, unless Kog dies 3 times in the first 10 minutes Kog with W on is just too much damage for squishy lil' Ezreal.

Ezreal's much better at shifting fights and chases but Kogmaw is the king of stand in a spot and melt people.

Idk, I would disagree that Kog is good only in competitive, just look at our own soloQ hero the glorious mighty warrior Entenzwerg, who just keeps rapping at 2200/2300+ as Kog'maw, his kinda signature champion.


Individual anecdotes aside, I'm sure there are niche players who can most definitely make Kog work in solo q consistently. But I was making a generalized statement. :X

There is this awkward moment when playing Kog, when four enemies are diving on to you, while your team is chasing the fifth and then you realize, that you're just a fat caterpillar.

Triforce gives you too little of everything, imo.

Sheen by itself is more than enough damage (if you want the proc) and IBG is the better route as it gives an AoE 100% guaranteed slow, compared to hoping for a Phage proc.

I've been trying Genja's full-AD (Pickaxe -> BF -> BT -> LW -> IE) build on Ezreal, seems to be much better than Brut/Sheen rushing.

Just got a PBE account yesterday. I thought they started level 30, yet mine's at 1. Do you seriously have to level the account like a normal one?

No, it takes a little time, your account will be upgraded to lvl 30 and you will get a bunch of RP and IP

I'm pretty sure I posted in this thread why carry junglers aren't truly viable. And yes, true viability comes from actual 5's play, because the format always matches it for good reason. Professional play in all games effect the nonprofessional play.

Only for the first week or two.


Carry jungle is not viable, because the jungle farm isn't yet equal to, or greater than solo lane farm. Literally, only after that would a true "carry" jungle be viable. That is just how this game works.


No, thats not really the issue. The amount of gold in the jungle is such that it should be more than lane if you clear it well and take a small amount your lanes (seuss has blogged on it 1 2). If the jungle had equal or greater farm than lane then junglers would have access to far more farm than a laner because they can move around and be allocated farm from lanes.

The issues are the the obvious complete lack of lane support, running smite on a carry, machete being wasted cost, and the fact that all the decently fast junglers are melee and all the problems that come with melee carrying.


When I say, "Carry" I mean win the game for your team without the other team sucking a lot. You can technically "carry" as a jungler atm with tons of successful ganks, etc. But, that is not a test of role being capable of "carrying".

A jungler can carry, when the opposing team (in a PRO game) says to themselves, "We need to shut this jungler down or he will stomp us" or they run another jungler that "needs to be shut down." Basically, if I put Jax top, you better shut him down, several ranged AD Carries, same thing. However, if a jungler is 1 kill and 20 minions ahead, how scared are you? Is stealing his next red buff a live or die moment? If not, the jungle is not a carry role.

If that is not what carrying is, you could not carry from any lane. The point is, if your team's jungler is ahead, and the rest of your team is even, its not nearly as useful as any other non-support character being ahead.


TLDR: Jungle Carries are Rare because setting a jungler ahead/behind is not nearly as impactful as setting a Mid/Top/Bot ahead/behind.

Wooow olaf nerfs, I mean "changes" to ragnarok and nerf to W are ok but changing the Q slow to fading, would probably destroy his most fun mechanic.

And Team Solo Mebdi getting 3 players banned and 2 people with lifetime ban lol, IWD looks like a sheep compared to that.

looks like ex clg.eu> EG is a sure thing now

kog easier for it to work in solo q imo. Most solo q players don't know how to end a game, despite being very far ahead. So more often than naught, if game is somewhat even, Kog can be a super deadly force. Then again, you could also have those 19minute inhibitor games too...
