Kog'Maw Build Guide by Shizukani

remove Clarity from AP and it's all good
considering both Ignite and Exhaust are better options (or I'd prefer running Ghost as well to keep kiting my enemies)

Ignite and Exhaust don't work very well as AP Kog'Maw is rarely in range to use them as you would either be sniping with your ult pr Void Ooze or autoattacking from far away with Bio-Arcane Barrage. Clarity helps keep you in lane forever.

The guide was great was very easy to read with all the nice colors and coding! Some thing could be improved with alternatives ect. but, as it stands the guide is great!

• madreads=down vote who needs AS Armor and Damage psfft noob stats.
• why not the utility tree it allows for easier kiting!
• not trying build and down voting for madreads ;)
• Runes are fine you are running pretty standard ADC runes can't complain.
• Wouldn't Summoners wrath be better than butcher? That is if you use ignite.
• quickly explained but right to the point masteries...ADD AN ALTERNATIVE UTILITY SECTION :)
• the first 3 summoner spells are fine so are the other 3 but it anoys me you change the layout from Heal : to ingite consistancy=OP!
• Ability explaination was good I liked the tips/tricks you added, I feel it really could help some new kog playeres.
• starting item section was fine...not a fan of dorans rings, atleast you mentioned boots are safer/better XD.
• 10% Conditions maybe apply*
• Good job explaining the AD items.
• boot explaination was fine, why not mention ninja tabi incase they got some super heavy AD team?
• mid game section contradicts its self if im not mistaken you said get wriggles then a zeal then work for Infinity edge...well in mid game you say after getting you wriggles get a b.f. sword.
• the rule is actually 1.25 seconds or until the major CC is blown if you wait for 2 seconds your going to have a BAD TIME!(these statistics may or may not be true)! But seriously 2 seconds could be a long as hell time for your team!
• you say don't retreat I like this...you say attack until they die I like this...or until you die...THAT I DON'T LIKE, KITE KITE KITE KITE KITE!
• team fight tips are pretty good...except the ones where you basicly leave your team to dry by waiting a while to actually fight and not kitting people.
• gj actually explaining why you have madreads and not just say HEY GET THIS ITEM IT OWNS!
• wouldn't you want a PD a bit eariler? The MS, AS and crit are all reallllllly good on any adc.
• Nice quick explaination of AP kog.
• frozen heart would add a bit of damage with archangels...seriously though I'd leave that item for a tank chances are if they want you dead you will die and then the aura is lost since you are squishy.
• why no qss on ap kog but ad kog gets it?
• kinda skimmed match ups since I don't play ADC a lot they seemed fine...looks awesome! WHY NO SUPPORT MATCH UPS/PARTNERS!
• already told you the major typo I found...no one needs to know about it!

The guide was Great close to EPICreally liked the layout and the information was pretty good. I liked how you put both AD and AP kog in the guide! PUT A SUPPORT SECTION TO IMPROVE IT! few other things would be adding a few more alternatives such as masteries or runes(ap mainly). I saw you fixed the typo b4 I got back to the review GJ! +1 btw

Hmmm, let's see.

Cheat Sheet

• AD Shredder
  • Wriggle's Lantern should only be taken when you're behind, no exceptions. Double Doran's Blade or only buying the Razors would be better.
  • HP Seals are a nono. I'd take 13 Armor against harass over 45 health any day. Plus, you're getting life steal, so you'd probably get 45 health back in like 1 hit >_>
  • I think W maxed at 9 and Q maxed at 13 would be better :P Your skill order is kind of random.
• Standard AD
  • Again, HP Seals.
  • PD rush is a viable choice on Kog'Maw sometimes.
• AP
  • :l Clarity
  • Tear of the Goddess and Archangel's Staff isn't that great. Chalice of Harmony into athene's holy grail would be a better alternative.
  • Might want a Void Staff somewhere too :P
  • 3/3 Brute Force > 4/4 Mental Force any day.

Runes

• Don't take half and half marks. It's better to go all AD because you're going to buy Last Whisper anyway.
• I don't see you mention hybrid pen marks? You're using a Madred's Bloodrazor, I think they would benefit you somehow, or are worth mentioning.
• AP Kog runes? Nevermind

Masteries

• No AP Kog explanation? Nevermind

Summoner Spells

• Clarity :l
• Cleanse?

Ability Explanation

• Bio-Arcane Barrage
  • THE highest range, not one of the
• Living Artillery
  • Might want to mention it grants vision to anything it hits.

Items

• Move Doran's Ring down to relevant section

Early - Mid - Late Game

• Don't use the times listed :l Not only are they inaccurate sometimes, but early - mid - late game periods aren't even determined by how long the game has gone.

Madred's VS AD Path

• 4% health shred, the AD Path still has 6% shred from W.
• What if they build a high amount of BOTH Mres and Armor, but not stacking (that much) health?

Late Game

• Sell boots, buy another PD?
• Quoted:

  If you run off chasing one of the enemies there is a 30% chance you will catch him, however this means that your tanks/supports will be stuck by themselves fighting the enemy.
  
  Where did the 30% come from?

Short Guide to AP Kog'Maw

• Masteries?
• Kage's Lucky Pick?

Minor Typos:

• "Why Kog'Maw?" Section: Living Artillery spelled incorrectly.
  
• Summary: No hyphen in Xin Zhao

Well, that's all for now. Overall a great guide, but there are some stuff you missed. Definitely a +1 though.

Here is your requested review that you asked for. Overall, this guide is very nicely formatted, but here are my suggestions to improve your guide:

(1) Mispelling: Under the Masteries chapter, you spelled Defense with a "C" rather than an "S"

(2) Clarity: Clarity is just a no, you shouldn't have any mana problems really until you unlock your ultimate. By then, you should have your tear, and your jungler "should" be giving you a blue buff soon. Another way to deal with mana problems is to simply replace the AP Seals, with MP5 Seals.

(3) Guide in General: I suggest really just keeping all the AD Kog together, and then the AP Kog Together. Two completely different roles with different playstyles. In other words move the Enemy AD Carries with the rest of the AD Kogmaw stuff.

(4) AP Enemies: A chapter regarding Match-Ups to AP Kog'Maw is quite necessary because he is not a very safe pick.

Have a good day. Hope I Helped! PM me if you have any questions.

Ok this is my first ever guide review so bare with me. :3

• First off, the standard AD build should be the first build, not really an issue, it's just more accessible that way. :3
  
• Someone else has said it and I agree, Wriggle's Lantern isn't a good idea on a carry unless you're behind or really bad at farming.
  
• I suggest Ignite over Heal in both AD builds simply because the current meta favors aggressive plays over passive laning these days. I've seen angry Ignite Kog'Maw's get fed early.
  
• Replace your Greater Seal of Health with Greater Seal of Armor. More health isn't as helpful bot lane as more armor is.
  
• On AP Kog, I've neevr played him that way so the items look fine to me, but I can't be sure. Just don't ever use Clarity, haha. :3
  
• The guide is very aesthetically pleasing.
  
• I love the way you have your rune section laid out, very nice! Might I suggest attack speed marks and quints as an option though?
  
• Masteries are pretty self explanatory, and almost every carry uses a similar, or exact same page.
  
• The Item section is very awesome, and I can't say any choices are bad as they are situational in nature.
  
• All of the early-late game sections and the team fighting tips are very in depth and helpful.
  
• You forgot Draven in your enemy AD carries section. SAD FACE BEST CARRY. D:
  
• Remember to tell them that Teemo cannot actually carry a game, and isn't a carry at all.
  
  All in all, a great guide and I'd recommend it to anyone planning on playing Kog'Maw. Great work, and it was a pleasure to read! :D

+1 ;D

Most things I had in mind have already been stated, so I will just push that green button because that is one nice colour...
