He doesn't dominate lane either unless you hit R a bunch. Even worse, he only has safe AA range for 8 seconds out of 17 and his only "escape" is a completely ignorable slow. I love Kog but nowadays he simply feels clunky and out of date. Disclaimer, I'm not a great player, I just like Kog a lot. Kog is good vs. Mundo teams that pick one of the weaker laning botlanes (like Non-Annie Ezreal lanes). Otherwise he is a win-more champion, because if you are ahead enough to kill a Shyvana/Riven/Rengar that jumps on you, you are crushing so hard you could be playing Annie or Ziggs as ADC. AP Kog seems similar, but I dont know at all what he does now. Seems like he would take a long time to power up. | ||

I think you're underrating kog's power spike...vayne doesn't need 5 items to do a ton of damage, just two and kog is the same way. Comparing the ad carry who does more damage than any other adc, who you can (in competitive play if not solo queue) send 2v1 or play a turtle style to win with to ad annie or ziggs is kind of an exaggeration o_O | ||

 I haven't played League of Legends for like a year and I'd like to ask what do You build on AP/AD/Supports nowadays? Items to start with? Mid game items? Late game items? | ||

I'm only a gold player so my experience could be different from yours Vanka. Playing without an escape feels ok most of the time. Sivir/jinx/lucian have been very popular for a couple of months, draven is making a comeback and out this four, only lucian has an escape. Kog is not really at a deficit here. The biggest problem have been the laning phase, playing against jinx/sivir/lucian + thresh/annie/leona is really hard no matter your support. I've accepted the fact that I'll usually lose lane and hope to be more efficient later, but that only works if your other lanes can do fine. I'm also surprised he isn't tried more in competitive play. I won't get a lane swap in solo queue to avoid the current stron botlanes, but that should be a big deal in competitive play. Lastly, I think he is in a better state than vayne at the moment, who according to lolking is still played quite a lot. They share issues during the laning phase, but vayne is worse at dealing with multiple threats (can only condemn one, loses a lot of dps if changing targets, no aoe). | ||

I think if you compare him to Jinx (switching between 500/525 and 710/700 range), Kog'Maw is found very wanting. Jinx is super Kog'Maw as I see it. Minus the whole super attackspeed and % health and armor/mr reduction. | ||
