Also Anim your obviously not playing at a very high ELO if you think Kog'Maw is useless. His superior range means he is ridiculously powerful in the laning phase and also he is one of the best Chasers in the game. Damage output also gets ridiculous when you go pure AP which is what all the good Kogs are doing these days.

Where are you experiencing these amazing kog'maws then? Some stats say you're around the lvl 20 mark :(

Either way, just as an aside, kogmaw doesnt really chase, has a skill shot slow that is avoidable (with ease if youre at any distance) and no in built speed to speak of unless he dies. Casters that bring more to a team fight (a number of which are better laners also):

Amumu (not typical caster but as you know, magic based and can do a lot of aoe, snare, stun)
Anivia (Mid/Laner, Slow, stun, massive damage and spike damage)
Annie (Mid/Laner, Aoe stun, aoe massive damage, single target finisher, extra target in ulti)
Fiddle (Mass silence, aoe damage, fear)
Heimer (Mid/Laner, Mass blind, aoe damage, stun, slow)
Morgana (Mid/Laner, Initiator shield, aoe slow + stun, aoe damage)

there are others that simply do more damage in the team fights or have some unique utility but didnt bother including them as its not what the focus is here.
 
Kog maw wouldn't be a champ I groan at when I see him on the other side but he can be a huge pain if played well.

Really loved the ganes last night, got pwned big time but the draft mode worked well. Glad we ended on a high note though :)

Going to be hard doing blind pick again, but the fact it forces you to have a full premade is both good and frustrating
 
Sorry for the throwaway comment Anim.

I just feel Kog'Maw is an incredibly strong Champion. I'm not exactly sure why you say he brings nothing to the team? He comes with an strong spamable slow aswell as crazy range. Sure he's a glass cannon but he's usually so far away that it doesn't matter. Telling me his skill shot is easy to dodge is a bit much. Sure you can dodge it, but in the middle of a teamfight? How about when your running away, when each juke means more people are going to catch up with you?

I might be lvl 20 on my EU account but I've been playing with lvl 30's since I started playing this game way back when on the US servers and feel that I have a pretty good knowledge of what's going on. My comment about him being OP was a bit much perhaps but you can't deny that he is an incredibly powerful champ in the right hands, is still relatively decent in the wrong ones (which you can't exactly say about the other champs you mentioned).

Anim is one of the better players to have posted in this thread.

Kog is a far better pick than heim, stronger pusher due to his mobility (not reliant on turrets). Due to the range and short cool downs he is one of the strongest farmers in the game.

Furthermore you can't really say that the ease with which you can dodge kog is a con then list anivia, moegana and heim as better picks. All are reliant on slow moving skill shots

I don't think he did - I think Anim did..or have I misread all of this. Not that it matters tbh

Been 2 weeks 2 days now since it was taken from me :(

I say a prayer every day hopeing that today will be the one when my precious is returned :(

Trying to write web code on a 14" screen @ 1024x768 is a nightmare too. :(

When will my pain end lol.
 
Good games last night, we played a normal game with one other random and won that, Slinky then joined us so we played a ranked game and won that. He then had to leave so we reverted back to a normal game and won that one (despite being 50% of their kills). Ranked games certainly up the requirement of winning and I suspect a decision to play a ranked game will be based on whether you can get 5 players and also whether those 5 players are comfortable going for the win or playing more in the normal game where it' not so important.

Solo wise, v.happy with the Solo/2 player option in ranked. For those that haven't tried it if you want to play in a 2 player solo. You just create the 5v5 arranged team but only invite one other when you play which will put you in the solo queue. Then at least you know you are not up against premades, just expect some raging going on

Tals

I actually got good since you last saw me play too :P rarely play Jax anymore, Annie and Amumu mostly, need to find a 3rd solid choice for the ranked games.

Anyway, anivia i listed due to ulti being instant slow and making you prone to the spike. Morgana is a snare rather than slow so i personally feel is a bit better overall and heimer blinds everything in the team fight which is far more powerful including a possible stun or two. I didnt realise that the sludge doesnt do damage if you stand in it though so its a bit better than i had initially thought, my instincts have always been to simply not stand in the goo :D

So yeah, he can be a strong hero in the damage department but i'd personally prefer one of many other heroes that just have that little bit more functionality whilst still doing comparable damage.
 
I want to play ranked but leveling to 20 is slooooow, and i point blank refuse to pay any money into the game; i want to earn my keep by playing and playing well!

Its so dota like i have had no problems getting to grips with the gameplay, settling on Ashe and Sivir as my main chars, played 9, won 7. I dont care much for racking up kills so i play support through and through. Sivir ulti + starks fevor = gg on a good team push. A well placed Stun arrow into fog getting the fleeing kill also highly satisfying.
