14.21 BEST KOG BUILDS

By afrente do tempo
just notes and updates
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i don't have enought time to play league so my build aren't perfect/fully uptaded

ap builds are fine and im enjoying them.

BAN VARUS OR EZREAL(why this character is in the game i hate him so much)

DO NOT FF AND DO NOT DODGE!!!!!
no ff mentality <3



about lethal tempo:
worst in early game, worst in ultra late game. Its better for having push pririty because u can use the %atack speed to hit the wave, a thing that you couldnt do with pta.

what is better?
short answer -> PTA

long answer -> u need to see the matchup and the game to think about what is the best option, in this patch pta would probably be better i think 75% of the time. Maybe with some buffs it'll change
kog'maw top?
So as i said earlier in the guide, im playing more top than bot. The reason behind that is because in higher elos either people play for grubs(and the sup roam to top) or they camp bot. In either options kog top can be useful. think with me, if you will almost win all lanes and have priority, 6 grubs is a reality, and if you get camp, if your team win bot and stack dragon you are in a winning side too.

Use phase rush and try you hardest to win the lane and even if they gank you. Try to not die or use you passive to turn a bad death into a not that bad one, against rangeds you can run fleet and into some tanks first strike is a option. If you cannot hit auto then, use manaflow and spam Q trying to poke them down
HOW TO PLAY KOG?
Hit Q and win trade.
Use W, space and win (just with range advantage).
Don't waste your W. It's your win condition!
Be careful ulting, you need 80 to W Q at least.
You don't need to build full damage every game, try find the best itens and win more games!
How positioning in the team fights or some skirmishs

Early Game



Your main goal in the early stages is to farm safely. In order to do that you can wiggle before farming minions, focusing to dodge the enemy ability. try be behind your minions and hit Q or E(if doing the ap start) when they are going to farm.
In early fights you can't go in 3, wait and fell the best timing to go (maybe after they using all abilities).

Mid Game



In this stage if you're realy ahead you don't need to care about enemies, unsless they have some target cc or a strong enemy.
If your got camped or doesn't play well in the early game, is the same thing for early game. Wait for enemy abilities and maybe some allies die. don't waste your W if you can't go in, otherwise its 8 sec cooldown that u can't do any damage.

Late Game



If you reach this far in the game i can just hope for your best. After enemy buying MR you can't do the enouth damage and the enemy can hard focus you and easily shut down. Some tips are just fighing if flash / second spell is up and dont face checking brushs or river.
What build i do? / Item explanation
So before talking about the items and the reason I built them, I'll talk about what stats Kog'maw needs.

Stats explanation

  1. Atack speed
    The core stat for this champiom. More attack speed means more damage from W.
  2. MS
    MS is important for walking up into the enemy. If you have less MS than your enemy, you cannot hit him properly.
  3. Health
    Because you're walking for the enemy team in most cases, it's inevitable that you'll get hit back.
  4. Resistance
    Do the same as health, resistances help you tank enemy damage.
  5. AP/AD
    Because you're getting lots of attack speed, this stats boosts your damage output. W damage (AP), auto damage (AD)


tbh im not feeling doing it fancy but lets start

First item:
Kraken -> going for long fights + doing the new build (remember that you wont have a good sustain source)
Bork -> short trades + sustain

other items:
guinsoo -> long fights + new build + single target damage (i dislike this item but i know it's value)
navori -> realy good when you will fight for more than 8 seconds ( your w timing
wits end -> great damage in late game + tenacity(most op stats)
runnan's -> good into melle comps and comps that like to play grouped
pd -> so good when building damage as 5 and 6 item.
terminus -> idk what to build but want to deal more damage
rookern -> lol fvck ap champions (realy op item) - I do most of my games
randuim -> lol fvck ad crit champions (also realy op) - I do most of my games
jacksho (idk the name of this item) -> better paired with terminus and conditioning because has only 30% resistance scale
sterak -> me shield me walk me tank
tier 3 boots -> no realy worth but you can do as last item
ap item mask that burns and gives u % bonus damage -> weird but fun, scales well with your ig level
SHOJIN -> free % damage and you start to stack for free with you autos with W or when you build either wit's end or terminus
collector -> weirdly is a good item. do with kraken and bork because both of this itens deal AD damage
ldr -> same as collector, abuse the AD damage from itens and crit
BLOODLINE X ALACRITY / ABSORB LIFE X TRIUMPH
alacrity -> we ball fvck it. It's better when you're doing bork because you'll already have sustain

bloodline -> can be used when doing the new build (kraken - navori - guinsoo).


about absorb and triumph:
note: absorb life got nerfed so maybe triumph is better



absorb life -> free sustain. (im using only absorb life recently)

triumph -> better scale and +gold for each kill
BUILD PROPERLY
In this guide I show a lot of builds that can be done in diferents games. Try and see by yourself witch are the best itens and win more games. DON'T COPY FROM U.GG OR OP.GG
build the best itens for your game.
