Kog'Maw Rework Idea

Template:Champion infoKog'Maw, the Mouth of The Abyss is a champion in League of Legends. This is my idea of his rework. Kog'Maw has problems with his passive and escape mechanism. The first thing is, Kog'Maw will use health as his resource.

Abilities

Upon dying, Kog'Maw starts a chain reaction in his body which causes him to gain up to 40% movement speed gradually over the duration of 4 seconds and detonate; dealing 100 + (25 × Kog'Maw's level) true damage to surrounding enemies.

Toggle: Kog'Maw's attacks gain range and deal a percentage of the target's maximum health as additional magic damage (caps at 100 against minions and monsters) in return, costing health. Each attacks cost 1% maximum health and increase the next for 0.3%. Reactive to stop the duration and return the cost to 1%.

Bonus Range: 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 / 220

Magic Damage: 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6% (+ 1% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health

Slow: 20 / 27 / 34 / 41 / 48%

No additional details.

Changelog

1.0

Conclustion: Passive: Keep Q: Passive increase base on missing health. Active becomes ar/mr reduction. W: Have a health cost, reduce cooldown. E: Linear skill that damage and slow upon hitting. R: Keep

Basically, I made Kog'Maw more offensive, risking his life for more power (in the lore, Kog seems to has an unlimited hunger that he eats without thinking). Q passive makes more sense with the theme. Buff the passive so I reduce the active. W: cost health, to increase the Q passive benefit. E: I want to keep Kog save from gank. By nerfing the area, the range, the base slow, I reduce the cooldown, so he can "hit and run" more. By increasing the slow when taking damage, he can chase his victim with his ultimate, slowing it.

1.1

Change resource from mana to health. Change Q from a buff to a linear skill. Change W to a toogle skill. Change W to cost 1% maximum health and increase while still using the skill. Change E back to it original, with the range nerf, lower ability power ratio and slow.

My other rework: Ashe Zilean
