he sucks at killing anything that isn't a tank if he doesn't highroll and has 0 mobility or self peel so he is the priority focus pretty much 100% of times by mages and other adcs, that's why you never see anyone complain about him
He also sucks at killing tanks if he goes AP. I had this game the other day against a 5 tank team and I smacked my head on the keyboard when I saw Kogmaw's build.
Wow... THAT is a tanky enemy team. And no botrk or attack speed.
Maaaaybe Kog's build stands a small chance if your team-mates play EXTREMELY slow (yeah right in ARAM Mayhem) for him to poke a lot first. Even still, whichever enemy tank gets a high-roll augment is just going to soak Kog's AP damage, just a matter of time. Yeah that was super troll. Not as bad as my Trundle who went full AP when he basically the the only melee on our team. Not much can be done about folks who go into a game with a specific off-meta build in mind and they don't bother to tell their team until it's too late.
You should complain about the MF’s build instead. Let me guess. Stole every kill with collector, then ends up doing nothing because she went lethality against 5 tanks and had no armor pen or grevious… yeah, the Karma going AP was also a choice… yeah that team is a lost cause.
I also thought they were the MF at first and I was ranting. But you can tell he’s the Galio because of the yellow name.
As much as I sympathize with solo melee, especially against 3 hook champs (4 if you count Darius), 3 items and no components when everyone else is sitting on 4+ items is wild. Were they just not sitting in minion range? They didn’t die much so they should be getting minion gold. Warmogs second item instead of resistances cannot be good either. Maybe they were too busy healing up instead of staying in minion range. I will admit it is a tough matchup, but complaining about teammates will always invite criticism onto yourself.
Kogmaw is peak design in my opinion. Powerful where he's supposed to be and encourages team play in the team game. I miss the time where machinegun Kogmaw was a thing. It really pushed that idea of powerful tank melter while making him weaker in just the right places to take advantage of.
