Kog'Maw Build Guide by SWAGRID

+1! This works much better than expected!

Really? Are you joking? I clearly said in the very very very first chapter to please do NOT downvote me lightly. And you come up with ONE SINGLE item you do not like before contacting me and downvoting my whole work...increadible. If you would have contaced me prior I would have told you that I use the non- Rod of Ages build around 90% maybe even more. And I was about to split the team build into a Rod of Ages and non- Rod of Ages build as it clearly has some benefits and should be listet. But I havn't had time so far. So you ruined my score by hastingly downvoting for a poor reason. Thank you. I wonder why I wrote the special note at the very top, regarding the downvoting topic...
and besides you are wrong about "losing much damage". You are only early game behind damage wise, at the very end you just lose a tiny bit of damage. I wrote a whole chapter about it comparing the damage. And you come up with such a nonsense. Always nice to see how competition acts...

anyways changes have been updated and I am sure you would not downvote me anymore...but yea too late. thanks

May i ask why this build doesn't include Lich bane? (maybe i've missed the explaination in the text) It just add so much when it comes to dmg, not to mention damage dealt to towers.

Because you rarely autoattack. this build aims for a constant far-away-range. Thats why lich bane is a bad item here. I dont want to be near the enemy. if I am getting too close I will spit out void ooze and retreat again. try it out and you will see it works. if you have further questions, let me know. The main thing is not to get an AP kog'maw build here! It is not about AP, it is only about Living Artillery! Like I said int he guide, Manamune would have been awsome, but its conversion is UNIQUE. As you can see AP or AD is not what's important. Though I am using AP here too, it is not really a usual AP guide, as the gaming procedure is totally different. While Lich Bane might be good one high AP chars who autoattackf or extra damage, you rarely autoattack witht hat kog maw. Yes fromt ime to time you attack with bio-arcance barrage but that's it. You will mostly be out of range fireing Living Artillery.

As already told in your Karthus guide, I personally think your guides are superb. And I have agree with the above posters: It is really enjoyable to read. I love that you put your focus on strategy and not only sexy layouts + long explanations what each skill can do!

Definately +1. Looking forward to your upcoming guides

Nope, you are 100% right. I sincerely apologize for my stupid actions. I realize I am a horrible sport when it comes to such things, and once again, I am sorry. My guide deserves all the down votes I have received over the past few days because I proved myself an idiot. Heck, maybe I'll just archive the thing and call it quits. Its just considerations after all, isn't it?

I think I will archive it as punishment to myself. Remove your competition ;) I asure you if I could I would remove my down vote from your guide, because I actually let my emotions get the best of me at the time and pulled a stupid move. I apologize.

Just to try and undo it.. here's an up vote.

I can't believe this actually worked

Nice build, though changing an Archangel's to Rylai's is the only difference between it and the simplistic one you described in the Q and A(FYI, Q stands for 'question' in that context, while I'm on the topic). Anyway, I think it's an effective enough build, just could do without the commentary: it adds nothing to your guide, and I personally found it annoying. Also, adding Haunting Guise to your options could be a good idea, as the additional 20 flat MPen can do good things for your damage output in a very affordable way. Can be circumstantial, but it's not usually wasted and if it will be then you dont buy it.

Good Kog'Maw oldschool AP build . I forgot how to play kog as ap since everyone build him ad. I tried it and.... ITS PERFECT 5/1/8 for the first match. But i prefer to buy Hounting Guise when i dont have enough gold for Rabadon. But Still its my ap build for now ^^
