Vel'Koz Texture Update
An update of Vel'Koz's base skin texture was pushed to the PBE yesterday. It's way sharper and has something players wanted from Day 1: His eye now resembles a lot more his eye from the splash!

Posted 3/5/2014 9:49:07 PM28% MR shred to go with Kog's on-hit effect of 6% (+ 1% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health in magic damage? AP Kog'Maw is now #1 tankbuster.

Posted 3/5/2014 10:14:11 PMIt's great because we're in a tank meta lol. I think he'll see a good bit more play in the bot/ mid lane.

Posted 3/6/2014 1:13:13 PMIts more than that too. You can build BotRK on him and L. Torment for even more % health damage. He seriously can take down anyone 1v1 or destroy tanks, as jacktheplum stated, we are in a tank meta and we need more champions like kog in the game to stop this meta as its just like league of warmogs where people just stacked health.

Posted 3/5/2014 8:10:23 PMThose Kog'Maw buffs are looking great.
Also, if that trist buff goes live, AP trist will have free mana cost ability to proc her Lich Bane. I like that.

Posted 3/5/2014 8:03:39 PMSo you're buffing Annie's scaling and nerfing her base damage on her abilities still, but not reducing her AA range? Really...

Posted 3/5/2014 9:10:18 PMThey're trying to nerf support Annie without nerfing mid Annie. The attack range may be one thing that makes support Annie strong, but it's also how mid Annie farms. The partial cooldown refresh on Q will also make mid Annie's farming easier, to compensate for the reduced base damage and higher scaling. But support Annie doesn't farm, so this will nerf that as intended.

Posted 3/5/2014 10:48:25 PMWhats to stop an annie from taking Relic and getting Q charges? The scaling might make the base damage nerfs negligible so....

Posted 3/5/2014 11:56:16 PMRelic needs to recharge every 60 seconds, so support Annie still won't get gold as quickly. Remember that the break-even point is 250 AP. Choosing the Relic Shield line also has its own tradeoffs: the Coin line's final item has the strongest active, and the Spellthief line improves AP and poke, whereas the Relic line is more about durability.
The base damage nerfs also hit support Annie harder than mid Annie, since the damage has been nerfed at all ranks. In a duo lane Annie won't level up as quickly, and have more time spent with lower-rank spells, whereas if the first few ranks hadn't been nerfed, support Annie wouldn't have been so affected.

Posted 3/5/2014 7:31:15 PMThank goodness, Annie regained her attack range, and my Tristana and Irelia gained an awesome bonus as well. But the nerf on Kogs Ap ratio is kinda lame, I like playing him AP. But the buff on his Q's range and the armor shred being % over flat is amazing.

Posted 3/6/2014 12:03:04 AMDon't forget, AP Kog'Maw has an on-hit effect that deals magic damage equal to 6% (+1% per 100 AP) max health. With 28% MR shred that becomes even stronger

Posted 3/6/2014 12:29:50 PMIt's still a one person skill shot, so it wont be too broken since you still need to land the rest of your skillshots.

Posted 3/6/2014 7:54:54 PMThat is why I would E Q then basic attack like mad. I tried it on the pbe, Ad Kog is a shreding monster. Black cleaver, Last whisper, and his Q is insane. That no mana on his w is a life saver as well.

Posted 3/5/2014 6:03:14 PMAnd not a skillshot? Dear God, how did I miss this?!
No way in hell this is going live, but it would be fun.

Posted 3/5/2014 6:15:39 PMI'm pretty sure it will be a skillshot with that range, I think I saw in the tooltip : it damages the first enemy it hit.
