Quick Analysis
SUMMONER SPELLS:
As the classic guide for ADCs says, Doublift plays Kog’Maw with Flash and Heal.
RUNES:
Kog’Maw hasn’t been the most popular champions in a long time. But in season 11, Doublelift has taken a special interest in this champion and plays him with Lethal Tempo. The attack speed burst helps Kog’Maw overpower his opponents, especially when paired with an enchanter support like Lulu.
Presence of Mind helps Kog’Maw sustain his mana throughout the game. Doublelift prefers Legend: Bloodline over Legend: Alacrity since he counts on Lethal Tempo and his items to provide him with attack speed. And Coup de Grace is bonus damaging buff.
The secondary runes that Doublift picks up for Kog’Maw are always Nimbus Cloak and Gathering Storm. The first is good for both chasing enemies and running away from them. And the second is just a nice and free increase in power that builds on passively.
ITEMS:
Kraken Slayer is the Doublelift’s mythic item choice for Kog’Maw. However, he usually never buys Kraken Slayer as first item. His most frequent building path is Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Kraken Slayer, then Phantom Dancer. From there, Doublelift further increases his attack speed by purchasing Runaan’s Hurricane.
Mortal Reminder is an offensive item he frequently builds on Kog’Maw. The Grievous Wounds goes a long way, especially against healing comps.
As for boots, Berker’s Greaves are Doublelift’s choice. And if he needs defensiveness, Guardian Angel or Mercurial Scimitar are the items he goes for.
