Kog'Maw is one of the best anti-tank champions in the game. His damages scales INCREDIBLY well against beefy opponents and he can do enough damage to shut down teams on his own.

Some people build AP on him, but I personally think that's a very poor use of his skill set. My preferred build involves lots of attack speed and relies on both his W (which gives his attack bonus range and they do a % of their target's max HP) and an item called Madred's Bloodrazor, which makes it so your attacks do 3% (I think) of your target's HP as magic damage.

With a rank 5 W and the Bloodrazor, you're basically doing 10% of a target's max HP each time you hit them as magic damage. That's on top of the physical damage you're doing.

I suggest grabbing a Madred's Bloodrazor, Berzerker Greaves, then either Sword of the Divine or Nashor's Tooth, followed by a Rageblade and then finishing with something defensive like Banshee's Veil or Guardian Angel. If you feel confident in your team's ability to keep you safe and your positioning, then you can grab Phage after the Bloodrazor and work it into a Frozen Mallet instead of the defensive item.

With that Kog'Maw, it's important to do as much damage as possible while your W is active. While it's cooling down, use your ult for hitting enemies at a safe range or Auto-Attack anyone who walks within range. DO NOT walk into a fight once your W ends so you can keep using your auto-attack unless the fight is going VERY well. Use your spells until the W cooldown comes back up. Kog is VERY dependent on proper positioning.

He's one of my favorites, definitely, so I'm happy to give advice to people asking for it. He's a very potent ranged carry that only gets better as his opponents get tankier.
