kogmaw -- speead boots, speed boots, speed boots, speed boots, speed boots, wards
Madred's should be rushed first, indeed, but if you find it too hard (feeding the enemy team or getting harrased too much) just get Wit's End + Malady. The combination is BRUTAL.
It's almost the same price cost, but you get 80% AS instead of 40%, 25 AP, Shredding and more magic resistance. Seems fine to me.
Yea I agree. If I'm farming well early game, maybe got couple kills, then I'll definitely rush Madred's Bloodrazer. I got bored rushing MB all the time as Kog, so I looked, see if there's any other champion that have similar builds with Kog'Maw, then AS Teemo came to my mind. I was like... Wow, they share pretty much the exact same thing (runes masteries, items), so I tried it out, and Malady + Wit's surprised me, cause I always thought those items sucked.
just because I love you and you carry me every game. I still prefer mage kog <3 :3
Lol AP Kog is fun to play but too much risk >.>
Madreds should be rushed first, before anything else. Trust me, I've played him for quite a long time, and have quite a few wins as him.
I do believe you, cause I used to go with MB first all the time. But it's only if you farmed really well since MB is a really expensive item. I'm trying to build Kog stable, it's obvious that you did not even try this build, you'll be surprised. The MR shred from Malady, the little 42 bonus magic damage from Wits, really gives some more damage output early-mid game, I dunno how, I'm lazy at calculations, but the health bar won't lie to me, it drops fairly fast combined with his abilities.

Hullo!
Nice guide, however! It would appear as though you are going for a mixed kog. Your getting some attack damage items in there, and not getting the armor pen in the masteries. Attack speed on kog is awesome. I do play kog, and i go for an as and ad mix. I have gone ap as before, but it has not worked out, at least sufficiently. So! Deceide for what you should do, and don't get the black cleaver, get Nashors tooth instead. It is a better item, with cdr, attack speed and an ap boost, which will help your "w". Kog should get black cleaver if he is going ad. Then its pretty damn usefull. I may be questioning your Wits end, as I find that it is more important to go for a madreds earlier, and then getting the wits end, only if they got a lot of ap, and instead going for some heavier attack speed, like a phantom dancer, which may seem like a bad idea, but it gives movementspeed, and and crit chance, and sick attack speed. All things Kog maw needs to get away :D
:D

Yea I do think the black cleaver was a little odd, but if you think about it, you can't really go pure AD due to all of his skills deals magic damage. I'm getting a black cleaver is to give Kog a little bit easier at farming, killing champions mid-game. I have once faced a full build Master Yi, of course I have my full build too, I took BC for no reason as my last item, and I pretty much owned that Yi 1v1 (plus he has life steal), I'm not sure if it's because of the BC, but I think it's definitely a decent item for Kog even if I got full magic penetration and stuff.
Switching BC to Nasher's Tooth might be a good idea, but the extra 50% attack speed is kinda a waste with all the other attack speed items, with the items I have right now, you'll get close to the max attack speed - 2.5, plus Nasher's Tooth combined with Malady, does not give more than 100 AP which means the AP is pretty much a waste (expect on his Q,E,R). I would personally replace Nasher's Tooth with one of the attack speed items that I have.
I feel after I completed my Wit's End, I gain a lot of damage output for some reason (perhaps it's just illusion?), it might not be the best item at the time, but it definitely worked really well for me most of the games due to the cheap price.
Phantom dancer is always a good item on a ranged champion (except casters), in my build, I did not take any sort of physical damage, critical chance. But I do have ghost and flash to escape with, so I, myself wouldn't take phantom dancer on Kog because there are better items out there he can use. Plus if the enemy team is focusing you, then that extra 12% or so movement speed won't save you.
Again thanks for the feedback you're giving me, I'll definitely try out different item route/switch up items when I have the chance to access my main computer.
