Source
Hello Steemians, spend a nice weekend to take advantage of nature and distract us a bit of technology, this time I want to bring an ADC that I usually use and that many do not like for the simple fact that their appearance does not favor much also that sometimes it is difficult to use not because of its degree of difficulty, in this case it is reflected by its speed of movement and the weakness of the champion. However, when you master it and get to the late game it becomes a very dangerous opponent that can destroy tanks as if they were paper. I hope you like my review on Kog'Maw!

When the prophet Malzahar was reborn in Icathia, he was led there by an ominous voice that clung to his psyche ever since. Inside, the voice gave him his terrible purpose and, although his call no longer tormented Malzahar, the requests did not cease.

The subtle flicker of this unfortunate beacon, now anchored in Runeterra, attracted a putrid beast that crossed a threshold incomprehensible to her, widening the fissure between two spaces that should never have been. There, among the disturbing ruins of Icathia, Kog'Maw appeared at Valoran, prey to a disturbing curiosity. The spark that had brought him to Runeterra still seduced him, drawing him closer and closer to Malzahar. In addition, he encouraged him to become familiar with his new surroundings, in spite of terrorizing everyone who crossed paths with him.
The enchanting colors and aromas of Runaterra intoxicated Kog'Maw, and he explored the fruits of that strange world in the only way he knew: devouring them. At first, he limited himself to trying out the flora and fauna that was found. However, when crossing the Plains of the Tempest, he ran into a nomadic tribe. Apparently oblivious to the laws of physics, Kog'Maw devoured the nomads as much as the obstacles they put in their path, despite the fact that they added several times their own mass and volume.

The calmest of their victims might wonder if it was due to the caustic enzymes that dripped from their jaws and pierced the earth, before their thoughts ended as abruptly as their own lives. Even that frenzy did not satisfy Kog'Maw's appetite. His catastrophic trail of destruction continues to spread as an inexorable force pushes him to search for Malzahar. And nobody knows what will happen when I find it.

Kog'Maw is one of the best ADC that is defined by its "late game" not like many other champions when it comes to its role. Rather, the power and presence of Kog'Maw is dictated by the rank of Living Artillery and the possibility of killing enemies at long range and at the same time an attack speed and an explosive damage that pulverizes tanks.
Kog'Maw's passive ability works as a defensive skill, which upon dying gives him an invulnerability for 4 seconds and gains an additional 40% movement speed, to go after his killer and explode with real damage between 125 to 550 points. .
The first skill of Kog'Maw consists of two phases a passive one that grants attack speed of 15 to 35% depending on the level of Kog'Maw. The active part with the "Q" key allows you to launch a projectile in a straight line that when hitting the first enemy causes a magical and corrosive damage of 80 to 280 points, however this ability also allows you to reduce the armor and magic resistance of the enemy by 20 to 28% for 4 seconds. This ability has a reuse of 8 seconds.
This ability allows you to improve the range of 630 to 710 in your basic attacks for 8 seconds and also gains a magic damage bonus of 3 to 6% depending on the maximum health of the target.
Kog'Maw throws a ball in a straight line inflicting magic damage of 60 to 240 points and slowing the enemy from 20 to 52% for 1 second. This ability has a reuse of 12 seconds.
Kog'Maw is placed in position of an artillery to throw an acid ball that when inflicting inflicts magical damage of 100 to 180 points that as it impacts the enemies increases its damage based on the missing health of the target and revealing its position by 2 seconds. However, this ability can be used for 2 to 1 second per launch and each use increases the mana cost by 40 points to a maximum of 400 mana points per cast.
Kog'Maw is considered a champion carry in the late game par excellence that can go from ADC or APC, and has great stats of attack speed and a special ability with great potential. It is easier to play with it as an ADC, since you simply use W and click on the enemies near you. As an APC, you must learn to conserve your R or you will run out of mana in the middle of a team battle.
One of its weaknesses is mobility and it tends to be an easy champion to catch. It is recommended to stay within range of your turret unless you go for the enemy's. If you are in the middle of the street, you can move further to one side of the river and stay close to that side so they have to travel a greater distance before reaching you. Since its mobility is a champion very prone to ganks and surprises of the enemies, you could say that it is an easy prey.
In team battles you must remain behind your tanks or a wall. He is definitely strong and has the potential to cause high amounts of damage, but there is a problem: his lack of escape and his low defense. Due to the damage that can do Kog'Maw is the main objective of the opposing team so sometimes defensive items are recommended to help you withstand the damage a bit.
This champion is boosted when he reaches level 11 to 16 as the scaling of his skills boost him in the late game and as he advances better he goes. However, it is good to play wisely, safely and defensively as it is weak and with low mobility make it the target of enemies. Due to the fact that it is equally used in any of the lanes, it can throw enemies during the champion's selection, and nobody counteracts it too much if it uses its utility correctly.
