Hm.
I'll give not using the Mpen mastery a shot. Everything I use is build around that atm, maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.
I kinda keep assuming he's like Corki/Trist who both LOVE the mpen mastery. Hurpdurp. You build BR too, right brees? And you feel that you're raping tanks anyway, also true? :>

I build him as a laner. Do whatever it takes to absolutely crush your lane. The only ad carry he has trouble with is caitlyn since she can contend in range, rest of carries you can deny easily
Doesn't matter what you build when your ahead of their carry but I usually go wits end/greaves/BR/veil/triforce in that order

Then why do you go 21 utility lol
Basically the only thing in utility that really helps you in lane is the movespeed mastery. There's a reason why everyone switched to 21 offense on ranged ADs by now. The utility tree is suffering from a lack of earlygame strength.

exhaust/flash are gamechanging bot lane....have fun exchanging them then next engage I shit on you with them up
also the mana regen, cd, movespeed is all useful as well as the very important full buff duration timer. good hands is pretty legit too since I usually play him as a walking turret meaning I dont run from shit. Just output as much damage as possible then die then passive ---> repeat
|
How about items? I usually rush a Rageblade. But I feel like hybrid isn't to dependable. suggestions?

^--- Like the last 2-3 pages are full of not completely stupid players telling each other what works for them and trying to destroy weird ideas. I think we're getting somewhere. =D
Brees: I keep having the feeling you're doing something else than me. Like, something major. Got some replays? Doesn't have to be huge, just some support ad vs support ad with a solid laning phase mostly.

I dont use LOLreplays so not really. basically just kite with W/E in lane and I never cast Q/R unless im trying to snipe some one that got out of range. If they move towards you you step back and use your superior range to get free hits vs slowed champions... teamfights I just hit whatever is available and if i get jumped on I exhaust ---> stand still and keep autoing until I die. No reason to ever really run with kog, just output as much damage as possible then use passive.

Gunblade, on the other hand.... maybe later in the game, but if you're rushing it before your second "big" item you're grabbing a little lifesteal when you could be killing crap twice as fast.
As for solo top Kog I'll defer to spine. I really haven't found a way of making it work unless you get lucky and the lane is retarded or some weird crap like Mundo. Most of the bruisers up top have dashes, sustainability, and do craptons of harass at the same time.
In mid you can actually lane pretty well vs Annie but I haven't been successful vs stronger mids like Brand yet. Kog is jokes top. You can swing to contest blue safely with your jungler due to your ult and you can pretend to be sion by maxing e and 2 shotting the lane with r e. Alternatively you can just vomit E at your opponent, and if he gets hit and you aimed properly, you're looking at 2-3 free w powered hits. Q is a pile of crap so don't get it.
Just trade properly and abuse the bushes and your range to create huge threat zones for your opponent.

Q is actually pretty damn good if you have enemies that can and will jump you. Q + Exhaust + W => Who said melee > ranged after the gap has been closed?
|
I asked fragnat1c and he says to go for IE every time and then PD, no BT, Madreds, malady, etc. Not sure what his masteries are but I'd imagine 21/x/x. Runes are standard AD carry runes with apen/defense or some mp5/apen. Do people still level R>W>E>Q? I haven't really ever seen kog win vs cait but I guess kog does more damage later on?
|
Fragnat1c opens E, then R>W>Q>E.

omegab rape everyone on saint stream going 20-2 with mbr, phantom dancer, and voidstafff. full mpen runepage o.O

This is probably a retarded question but does mpen affect the bonus magic damage done by MB and W? I assumed so but one of my friends told me it doesn't and I'm not sure if he was trolling me or not...

So any item/autoattack/spell that does Magic Damage will run off your MPen stat. The same applies for any Physical Damage you do, but with respect to APen.

Also I'm running Attack speed Quints, Apen marks and Mpen glyphs/seals. my skill priority is W>R>E>Q I open boots +3 health pots My core Item build is sorc shoes -> recurve bow -> MB -> BF sword -> BC After that I get survivability if its needed, and prioritize attack speed in my last items PD/IE if I can afford it, Malady/Wits End otherwise.
I seem to dominate every game I play building like this but I'm only level 26 so I'm sure that will change when I can play ranked games. If there is anything glaringly wrong with my build let me know.

At ranked games people knows how to jump on carries. Kog blows at low elo because no one knows how to support the guy proper.

Well I know that, Its not like kog is the only hero i can use well either, I was just asking about the viability of my build, and your post didn't really respond to that.

Standard AD item is best build on Kog IMO since ult has .5 AD ratio and you can kill towers faster etc. zulu_nation8 posted the items I'd agree are best for that. But on-hit effect build is fine too. It's a waste to go both arpen and mpen, just stack arpen quint/reds and run attack speed in yellow/blues if you don't feel like you need defensive runes (which you do, but if you prefer not to...). Sorc shoes is kind of dumb since MBR is there for killing tanks, and you won't be doing anywhere near true damage to them anyway; get merc treads or zerker greaves instead. If getting MBR, you should follow with phage into frozen mallet for the hp and obviously the slow proc.

I skip the defensive runes because IMO if you are getting hit as kog the battle is already over, but If I did use them what do you suggest? Just flat armor/mres for yellow/blue slots? Also should i get the phage before the Black cleaver? It really feels like I cant do enough damage unless I grab that early BF sword.
