(botrk or ie first)

also I missed the consensus on adc masteries, what do people like?


When I've played Kog in the past I haven't found that his DPS makes up for his lack of kiting ability in league of gap-closers until he hits ADC godlike lategame and can actually mostly kill a tank before they combo him. 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 I love Kog but nowadays he simply feels clunky and out of date.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


Kog is the champion I've played the most since patch 3.13 (about 50 games). 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).


Sivir has an escape once she hits level 6, and Jinx just throws down flame spitters in front of her and runs away. Draven at least has his E. All Kogmaw has is a weak slow.

BT is better in soloqueue. Longer lane phase means you can use it to it's full advantage. Not to mention more gold flow is possible in yolo queue, meaning your hitting your item timings earlier, so not as painful waiting for 2nd and 3rd item timing.

If he had built most of a Randuin's or something instead of Last Whisper, he would have survived to actually do damage, but after seeing that he was close(tm) to killing Gragas, he probably just tunneled on getting damage.

Building damage on a bruiser when behind is like trying to swim up a waterfall. -__-"

I like bruiser ish style the best. From what I've seen it's the most effective. 2 offensive items into defense. The only staple offensive item is shiv, the rest is still debatable. I think ghostblade deserves to be looked at on him more though. For defence, I like randuins and banshees, the order of which depends on their team and the state of the game.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm pretty sure best build is Shiv + IE into tanky items like Randuins, Banshees, Sunfire and Spirit Visage. Which is sad, cause I was really hoping we'd see Atmas be used again in pro play, as Yasuo's probably the only champ who can get the most out of it now with current items in the game.
