On a scale from 1 to outdated, you should really update this guide.

Yeah I know about the ****py runes lol. I've been meaning to change the runes on the main guide, and I'll do it right now. I haven't used those runes in forever. I currently run flat armor yellows, magic resist per level blues, attack speed reds, and attack speed quints.

Also, as much as I love the Black Cleaver, keep in mind that it rarely gets to the point in the game where I can buy that unless I get REALLY fed, or unless it goes for a fair amount of time. Also, I've noticed quite a few of the pros using more AD in their builds, and I'm considering making a build that mixes my build with a little more AD.

Basically, I know I need to update my guide, but I don't have time right now to update anything more than just the runes. More will come later, after my finals are over in a couple weeks.

i have to say, that i really really like your item build. everything fits so good creating a balance of speed\slow (boots and mallet) and magic damage\physical (malady\cleaver) damage, i would +1 if you weren't a competing guide, ill try them soon.

i also want to add, that the runes for attack speed are an overkill.
the Madred's Bloodrazor Wit's End Malady Black Cleaver all bring you really close to the 2.5 max cap for as. (around 2.4\2.3 i believe ?) and a single green elixir can cover that up, so you can take other important runes such as magic\arm pen or some resistances. (if you read my guide then you will see that i prefer the magic pen)

anyway i didnt read the whole thing cuz im lazy and its 5:28 am here. good night :)
and try what i said about the attack speed.

Now, any benefit to using Sorc boots for the extra magic pen in conjunction with the barrage + blood razor? I like a Warwick build that uses sorc/malady/bloodrazor/wit's end and people absolutely melt with 2+ attacks per second

Holy ****, you guys! 57k views in just 2 or 3 days? Thanks! I'm glad that so many people want to see my build! And to all the people who have given me suggestions, thank you very much for your input. As you can see, I listened to it, and in some cases I actually changed the build because of it.

Heh. I usually get Madred's by 20-22 minutes on an average game, Also, once I start getting that many kills, I usually get at least 1 kill in every subsequent fight, sometimes even if it's a 3 man gank (I'll take out at least one). Basically, I start out kind of slow unless the opponent is just STUPID, in which case I get a few early kills. Otherwise, it's usually a little while before I actually start getting very many kills, unless I gank another lane or something (which I sometimes do).

However, once I get started, it's hard to shut me down unless every single person on their team focuses me in every fight.

I agree with your reasoning of getting the Bloodrazor. I was just saying in my build that I dislike people who are able to farm a whole lot and just rush Madreds before their boots or something. Trust me, I've seen it happen and I destroy those Koggies midgame when they're too slow to do anything :3

I agree with you and how people should NEVER build Koggy straight AP. I hate people who build straight AP. His cooldowns are waaay too long to do anything, and that R is a mana killer.

Also, to go with your last comment, I do find that when I get around 7 kills midgame, it just kinda stops there for a while until lategame. Does this happen often?

(I love that 7 kill mark cause I can get my madreds at the 25-minute mark also :3)

Precisely, my good man! The trouble with having a specific, exact, unchanging build is that you don't always play with the same skill level, against people of the same skill level, and against the same champion. Sometimes you get your *** kicked because they have an amazing jungler or whatever, and you end up with only 450 gold when you finally go back. Other times you end up being 7/2/2 by midway through the game, and you have PLENTY of money.

I think your spot on haberdashed. It all depends on the gold you have. I think i'll do exactly like you said, if you have the money = witt's end. If not get the daggers and work on malady.
I guess we both came to a compromise, and found a better to build kogmaw!

Haberdashed (3) | October 3, 2011 7:13pm
To rembot, thank you for your suggestion of getting Wit's End before Malady. I've tried it in-game, and I whole-heartedly agree that if you have the gold for it, you should get the Wit's End first, starting with the Recurve Bow. I'll be making the change to the guide presently.

And Zarnim, while I will admit I dislike any build that has Kog building AP, I don't mind because it's AP/AS. Too many people build him straight AP like he's some kind of mage or something. Ever since they changed it so that his ult scales with AD AND AP, there's much less reason to build him AP. Plus, for his W, you have to get 100 AP before it makes a difference (I'll admit I may be wrong here, somebody please correct me if I am).

Also, thank you for the compliments! As my only guide, I check this multiple times a day, and as you've noticed if you've read the comments, I'm open to suggestions and friendly debate.

OH and before I forget, I thought of another good reason to get Bloodrazor first (not counting boots, of course). For those games when your team feeds in other lanes, which you can only do so much to stop, then during the ensuing fights, where you might not get quite so much gold, and so you might not be able to finish another item for a while, I've found that it helps to already have my Bloodrazor finished.

like your build. Although I do prefer to go AP-AS hybrid, this is the kind of build that I would try if I ever wanted to play AD Kog'maw. nice and in depth! Keep up the good work!
