Stacking on hit items will always be the way to go on Kog, unless they change him more radically of course.

One thing I've always been curious about, yet never asked...
I know the general formula for MR is:
MR = (MR-Flat MP)*(100-MP%)/100
Then the damage adjustment is MR/(100+MR)
Say you have a Kog with 19 MP from runes, 20 from Sorc boots, 24 from 4 stacks Malady, another 20 from abyssal rod, and then the last 25 from his Q... altogether, this would be 108 MP.
Most champs have around 30 MR base... so this would normally result in a -78 MR for the champ.
Therefore magic damage against them would be multiplied by 3.545 before MP%. (-78/[100-78] = -78/22 = -3.545) The new player faq really doesn't cover negative MR well... so I'd assume its calculated this way.
The question is, from talents, I also have 15% MP. Does this technically reduce my damage against targets reduced to -MR? If so... that would mean I'd only get a 1.967 damage multiplier against targets that don't take MR.
Just, thinking. because with just BAB and Madred's alone, that's the difference between 1 hit doing, 35% of a person's health in just magic damage, and almost 20%.

Penetration can't go below 0.
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding in the terms...
MR = magic resistance
MP = flat magic penetration
MP% = % magic penetration
actually it would be 79 x .85 = 66.3 66.3/(100-66.3) = 1.967 (according to the formulas)
so yes, they still get increased damage, but like I was asking... does % MP actually 'decrease' the damage bonus of -MR?
If I took out the 15 MP% from talents... it would be MR = (30-108)*((100-0)/100)= -78
-78/(100-78) = -78/22 = 3.545 therefore, if the goal of the build was to say capitalize on people who don't build MR (ei in randoms) wouldn't it be more beneficial to drop the 15% MP?
Again this is an experiment, mainly for times I get random teams who are all AD.
according to the FAQ, Flat MP can (but %MP can't). Unless this has changed, which I don't believe it has... As I've been hitting creeps with BAB for 300+ damage... there seems to be a point to reducing enemies to -MR.

Reduction (such as Black Cleaver) CAN go below 0.
According to Lvx's theory crafting compendium...
If this is outdated info, I suppose that would partially answer my question.

But, however, before you will understand the way penetration works, you have to understand the way that AR itself works.
Keep in mind, that - even if the game will never show a value below zero! - AR (MR as well) can go into negative values, and will affect the calculation of your dmg taken. This information is crucial.

The good thing about kog, is that if he isn't focused down, he will completely melt your carry, but with this build, even if you are focused you will still destroy the enemy team.
