the soraka nerf is also a nerf to kog though as that was really his only good laning partner for bot. I guess janna can work but the no recoverable mana real bad for kog | ||

Kog can do fairly well with lots of supports actually. His earlygame burst is quite strong and if you max W and Q, you shouldn't have too much of a mana issue during laning (and lategame Infuse on Kog is just laughable). (it's not even decided yet whether that was a Soraka nerf or buff btw) | ||

Soraka nerf doesn't hurt cog more then every other ranged AD. | ||

Its the only thing that keeps him relevant until he gets bloodrazor and without red hes pretty much useless, people just run when you turn on W. not sure what blue brings to the table since you shouldnt be casting spells past bloodrazor Here's how you fight as Kog Maw: You turn on W and hit anything that comes into range. Your enemies are forced to engage on you or run for their lives (the latter means you just won the fight). If they engage on you, Q+Exhaust, possibly E. No need for red buff. So where do I need the bluebuff? 400 base damage, 1 second cooldown. While you DPS the melees, you nuke the casters/ranged ADs in the back rows. If your casters were to engage on the enemy casters/ranged ADs, they would inevitably put themselves in retaliation range (caster vs caster zzz). And you seriously think I shouldn't be casting that 400 AoE DPS 2200 range ultimate once I got my BR? 400 DPS. Not to mention that BR isn't mandatory on Kog. | ||

I think once you reach a certain threadshold in AS casting your ult lower your overall damage even if you time it properly since it has somewhat long cast time. But im a terrible Kog so I might be totally wrong. | ||

Even though you have to deal with the enemy melees, you should still spam your ult on the enemy squishies as those typically are the highest priority targets. | ||

I know a lot of top players rush BR but some of them rush IE and I'm wondering if you really need the BR when W does the same thing (but better). Dunno, if I build BR I feel like I'm mostly doing magic damage but if I go with IE I'm hybrid and my opponents have to build both MR and Armor. Wanna play around with it for a few days before I decide which build I like better as I usually do the BR rush. | ||

Same reason pirate doesn't rush mallet and cho doesn't build warmogs What about... "I have a great on-hit ability." -> "I prefer AS over AD cause that synergizes with that ability." -> "Oh, AS synergizes with more on-hit items, let's get em!" Pretty much the same reasoning that's behind Teemo-builds. I'm not sure what's the standard on vayne at high elo right now, but I remember some double zeal -> IE/BT builds that were floating around. Similar reasoning there. EXCEPT: Kog doesnt scale at ALL with AD. (Yeah his ult, but that's no major factor when you don't have a blue buff). That's the main reason that pushes him more towards Teemo (on-hit builds) than "standard AD carry builds". | ||

If your team gives you blue buff your R hurts when you go AD as opposed to the BR/AS build. I think they can both work but I'm starting to feel like traditional AD is just straight up better. At least in unorganized solo queue games. I may go Trinity Force after IE/Phantom as loco suggested up a few posts, seems good if the game drags on that long. | ||
