~5-7% health + base damage on kogmaw's ultimate is actually pretty massive. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing him again in competitive play. | ||

Also, is the same effect on the item "Blade of the Ruined King" affected by resistances? Or will you really damage 11% of opponents health when you've maxed your W + regular damage? | ||

I have no idea how the reduction of % works, but since 100 MR = 2x EHP I'd guess that if you have 100 MR and Kog'maw 0 MPen that he does only half the %dmg. | ||

with the lucian nerfs i think he's up there with jax and kayle as the strongest hypercarries in the game. | ||

That said, I'm not sold on essence reaver at all, although I didn't try it. The Dblade into Triforce into BorK build seems like the strongest option atm. Need to try Essence reaver for myself, but the relative slot inefficiency of the item makes it a bit strange on a lategame hypercarry like Kog. | ||

I'm not entirely sold on essence reaver, but I guess Kog probably sits and autos quite a bit, especially if there's down time. | ||

literally botrk tri force makes him impossible to deal with doing the essense reaver makes it so you don't ever have to leave lane/team fights its crazy for him imo | ||

Also, I almost never encounter mana issues. The real decision for me is sometimes I feel like Zerkers are suboptimal (which I feel about for ADCs all the time), but I can never figure out until I already bought them. | ||

I hardly use the ult outside of a fight or for checking brushes and maybe a little bit of poking. If you constantly use it to waveclear you might need it due to mana problems but i have personally never gone oom on kog without essence. The mana from trinity and smart ulti management is more than enough to fight. Also i dont see why you would want to delay bork for essence reaver. Having a bork is a lot better than having an essence reaver and delaying your bork for some mana and Cdr....doesnt sound very good. Bork+triforce is a huge spike on kog On June 25 2014 13:24 cLutZ wrote: I also don't like essence Reaver. Early on I prefer Blade and Tri, later, LW and IE are indispensable.

Been thinking about trying CDR boots or merc treads on kog. More W uptime can be pretty sexy and CC is pretty annoying altho you could argue that if you are out of position to get hard cced you are pretty dead anyway as kog Any experience on that? | ||

bam lee, lucidity works pretty good, merc don't really help, you'd be better off getting the fast boots, if kog gets caught he's dead most of the time. On July 04 2014 05:08 Anakko wrote: Agreed. AD Kog uses ult mostly to proc Triforce/check bushes. If you're spamming it, you might as well play AP kog and build tear instead like i said... and what you're saying...if you cast his ult when its off cd it will proc everything... you should therefore....cast...it...the...entire...time | ||

First item or after triforce? I think i will give essence reaver+CDR boots a try to see if the 25% CDR are good and to take a look at the mana management. | ||

Building 25% cdr on an ADC from first two items seems weird. The ADC you are laning against will have far stronger combat stats. I dunno thought I guess it worked on EZ for a while... | ||

It's not like you're gonna be able to ult/proc 10 times in a row. Essence reaver is not a good item on an hypercarry that needs attack speed and crit mostly. It's not exactly terrible, but there are simply better options. | ||
