@@lukashrcek5799 I mean, you are building a damage item and a half still, I'd say it's closer to the bruiser style since they also build simillar first core items before transitioning into full tank.
Basically, Kog Maw deals so much damage that he can easily build only 2.5 offensive items and still melt everyone. Damage dealt in an ADC or Skirmisher is DPS x survival time (seconds). Kog Maw has so insane base DPS and so mediocre scaling on AD that in his case it's better to just buy survival time after your core offensive items of Wit's end, Berseker's boots and Runaan's hurricane (Randuin, force of nature, GA, Gauntlet and stuff like that), maybe even Warden's Mail in between your offensive core.
@O K I'll put things simple, it's about the reason bruisers don't go full damage nor full defense, because going full damage will OHKO you and going full tank will make you deal no damage.
I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I have to say it works wonder. Instead of going bot, I go AD tank mid, and despite getting rekt early by hard CC laners and junglers, I was able to scale lategame and absolutely burned all of their team from a mile away. I could face tank and Irelia and the enemy ADC and still be able to survive.
I remember back in s8/s9 the way i played kog (the only adc i've been able to play with some success) is that i bought botrk and bloodthirster into runaan and just stood still autoing everyone that got close and hoping that my lifesteal was enough to let me drain tank through the whole fight
This dude was 10 when he started playing league . I'm ashamed after playing 8 years since I was 12 years old and I'm still stuck in Gold while he's up in challenger goddamn well fecking played.
@@TheKalippp1 agreed, enemies play like gold players, but the problem is that my team is full of other diamond players, that play even worse than enemies, that's why I often used to end up as 5/3 toplaner, meanwhile my mid went afk and bot is 0/6
so after trying this myself i can savley say it works pretty well and is beyond hillarious for anyone witnessing it. was 1v1 top volibear by standing stil land W Q auto attacking. 10/10 will do build more often
This build also works for Corki. Corki has such low range, but lots of spells. So you go Divine Sunderer as your only “damage” item and use the healing and tankiness to just sustain through every fight and still do good DPS.
The only reason I hate marksmen carry champs is because of how vulnerable they are, especially ones like Kog. This gives me a reason to finally enjoy a champ I was struggling on. Thank you chime man! :D

I just played against this last night. Their whole base was down, only nexus left while we had every single turret left. we even had fire dragon soul and baron buff and couldnt finish this. the tank kog maw with the lulu on his back was literally unkillable and won that game solo
I tired it and won. I had a bad time in the laning phase cause in solo queued and my seraphine is weird af. Then in the mid game i started getting kills. Late game mordekaiser ults me. I survived. Then they cc'd me then survived. We win. I went from 1-3-1 to 20-6-17.

Change wit's for botrk for better engage and explosive short kitting if you are worried of a swift collapse (you better activate lethal tempo beforehand somehow, you still need 3 hits) since you won't get ''tanky'' until third item, but I wager you could go for randuins second if you have an enchanter supp and you are vs 5 ad(?) But always remember that if your side is losing hard, being able to take a few more hits won't help you any if your team dies instantly, and you only have 8 seconds to dish out damage, and the less damage you deal, the more kiting you are going to experience from the enemy players, so if you are mostly the only source of realiable damage, then taking your time killing isn't ideal, you will be lured into overstepping and executed. All of this hinges in you knowing how much damage you can deal against your opponents at every point in the game, just play a bunch and see what's what.
