Kog'Maw, the snowman

Ok so his actual name is Kog'Maw, the mouth of the abyss. But I'd say my name is more appropriate. If he gets on a killing run, Kog'Maw WILL snowball out of control. like there's just not stopping him in the least.

Anyway Kog'Maw's passive is called Icathian Surprise and trust me, it's pretty surprising. When he dies, he continues to run around while chain reactions occur in his body. It also allows him to move faster. after 4 seconds, he deals 100+ (25x level) to any enemies around him. Which can cause a turn around in any team fight, along with revenge kills and stopping enemies from chasing your allies.

His Q is called Caustic Spittle. Passively, it increases Kog'Maw's attack speed. When activated, you target a single enemy, dealing damage and reduces their armor and magic resist for 4 seconds. Pretty straight forward. To make the most of it, try initiating a fight with the ability to deal the maximum amount of damage.

His W is called Bio-Arcane Barrage. This gives Kog'Maw extra attack range and also deals damage equal to a percentage of the enemy's maximum health. There really isn't anything else to this one.

His E is called Void Ooze. Kog'Maw launches a ball of ooze at a targeted line, dealing damage and slowing any enemies in its path. It leaves a trail behind it, continuing to slow any enemies that walk through it.

His ultimate is called Living Artillery. In my opinion, it's a pretty overpowered ability. Kog'Maw targets an area, and a little while later a living artillery shell lands there, dealing damage. any enemies hit are revealed for  4 seconds, and it deals 125% damage to champions. The cooldown for this ability is extremely short, but casting it again within 6 seconds of the last time causes it to use 40 additional mana, with a max of 400 additional mana being used.

Kog'Maw is pretty cut and dry. His abilities are pretty easy to combo with, especially if you land some living artillery shots for killing runners.

As far as his build goes, you should rush an infinity edge and build mostly attack speed. I'd recommend following the suggested build pretty closely.
