LoL Champion Lore: Kog'Maw

When the prophet Malzahar was reborn in Icathia, he was led there by an ominous voice which thereafter anchored itself to his psyche. From within, this voice bestowed upon him terrible purpose, and though Malzahar was no longer tormented by its call, the voice did not cease its unrelenting summons. This baleful beacon's gentle flicker -- now fastened to Runeterra -- drew forth a putrid beast that ambled across a threshold it did not understand, widening a fissure between the spaces which were never meant to meet. There amongst the haunting ruins of Icathia, Kog'Maw manifested in Valoran with unsettling curiosity. The spark which led him to Runeterra teased him still, urging him gently towards Malzahar. It also encouraged him to familiarize himself with his new environment, to the stark horror of everything he encountered on his journey.

The enchanting colors and aromas of Runeterra intoxicated Kog'Maw, and he explored the fruits of the strange world the only way he knew how: by devouring them. At first he sampled only the wild flora and fauna he happened across. As he traversed the parched Tempest Flats, however, he came upon a tribe of nomads. Seemingly unhampered by conventional rules of physics, Kog'Maw consumed every nomad and any obstacles they put in his way, amounting to many times his own mass and volume. The most composed of his victims may have had time to wonder if this was due to the caustic enzymes which stung the ground as they dripped from his gaping mouth, although such musings were abruptly concluded. When his wake of catastrophe reached the Institute of War, and enthusiastic Malzahar greeted him with an enticing prospect: taste the best Runeterra could offer...on the Fields of Justice.

'If that's just hungry, I don't want to see angry.' --Tryndamere, the Barbarian King

Quote \| PM \| +Rep by Seattlite » September 18, 2010 1:39am \| Report I'm interested as to why Kog'Maw wouldn't be listed as a carry. With the percentage based attacks with Bio-Arcane Barrage, and the popularity of attack speed builds on this champion, it seems relatively evident that a late-game Kog who can avoid being ganked really is quite a good carry candidate for a team. Thoughts? Edit: And thanks for looking into the Caustic Spittle passive description. It's most definitely a % attack speed in game now, not armor pen.	Seattlite Posts: 1 Joined: 2010-09-18

Quote \| PM \| +Rep by animorte » October 4, 2010 9:55am \| Report I once mentioned in a game that Kog is one of the best at solo-laning. Somebody laughed and said that was *****ed. I'm sorry, but I have laned against Kog too many times and been hit offscreen too much by Kog's ridiculous range and attack speed. Exceptional champion. Personal habitual activites? Utilizing gargantuan idioms to fabricate intelligence. "It's a colloquial shorthand that means the paradigm exists because of how the game works mechanically. Hence, "the Meta."

Quote \| PM \| +Rep by InfiniteIce » May 31, 2011 9:22pm \| Report The tooltip for Living Artillery is off..it says "After a short delay, the artillery falls dealing 80 / 120 / 160 + (+30% of ability power) ability power AND (+50% of ability power) attack damage (deals magic damage)" It should say: "After a short delay, the artillery falls, dealing 80 / 120 / 160 (+30% of ability power) AND (+50% of bonus attack damage) as magic damage. Correct: Magic Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 (+0.3 per ability power AND +0.5 per bonus attack damage) Also, according to http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Kog%27Maw_The_Mouth_of_the_Abyss and http://www.leagueoflegends.com/champions/96/kog_maw_the_mouth_of_the_abyss "Each subsequent Living Artillery in the next 6 seconds after a cast will cost 40 additional mana, capping at 200 per cast." The MOBAFire tooltip says it caps at 250 mana.	InfiniteIce Posts: 5 Joined: 2011-02-07
