The fun part about teemo’s speed boost is that it’s actually a dash in wild rift

The issue with Jarvan's W is that in theory and mechanically it's not even a bad ability, it's just a numbers problem. It would be a lot better if it hadn't been nerfed so many times that it started to date Aurelion Sol since they both spend so much time in the same section of the patch notes together

my friend was a kog'maw main. He's always described the champion as "When you die you get to tickle your opponents balls a little if you can stay close for 4 seconds"

Finally someone mentions Kog'maw's bullshit passive. I sincerely hope with the Void event they change his passive because the one we have right now seriously does not fit his kit at all.

“Fixed a bug where Aurelion Sol would sometimes win.” Of all the nerf ASol jokes this one really got me for some reason

I recently played Kog and asked myself that question. It's just a worse Sion passive. If you're playing right, it would never be used and if you use it right it does nothing.

giving ratatoullie +15 move speed every 20 seconds is a bit too strong, we shall nerf aurelion sol

“The truth lies in darkness you see, as balance is a fool’s master.” -zed and probably riot devs

I think you missed Rakan's Q. Which is "tickle an enemy with, very slow, short range projectile to untickle your ally and yourself"

Bro easy fix for kogmaw that I think would be funny is this; • His passive dmg scales off of the dmg he took in the last 1-2 seconds before death • His passive move speed scales off attack speed • He can choose when he wants to explode, max time before explosion being the current kog passive duration. With these change I feel like the poor kogmaw that gets instantly popped by an assassin can actually get retaliation as intended. I feel like the point of his passive is a assassin payback mechanic or a deterent to closing the gap with him, with this I feel like it would get that point across way better than the kiss kog gives his foes currently.

Vars today: top 5 best designed abilitys Skooch:

there's a french guy that talked about worse habilities in league of legends and also talked about J4's shield that maxed with 5 champs around, is less usefull than sion's W at rank 1

Skooch is over here really underestimating how good Zilean passive is. There is a reason no other champions can give extra experience points.

I appreciate the recognition of exactly how bad Teemo W is. To add insult to injury "nearsighted" for Graves actually prevents players from seeing, lasts longer, and is aoe. While blind.... doesn't even prevent obvious things like Xayah feathers or Gangplank Q. If it doesn't actually cause a vision loss like nearsighted then it should at least work on targeted abilities as well.

I agree with everything except zileans passive. It is extremely strong in about half of scenarios. People need to stop mindlessly giving there adc or lowest level teammate exp. Save your exp. Give it to the 3/0 toppaner, midlander, or jungler and watch them wreck face even harder with 55-99% more movespeed and a revival.

Rakan Q deserves an honorable mention. It does miniscule amount of damage has a long cooldown for how much damage it does and its heal scales with your own level instead of its level meaning that you'll have a miniscule back unless you go ap where then you'll have a maybe 300-400 heal... oh and it's a skillshot with a small hitbox so unless you manage to weave it around the minions the enemies are keeping between you and them you'll just be wasting mana trying to throw it. The ability is seriously bad in its current state.

Funny enough, Kalista's W in S5 was pretty impressive to use and play around, you can send 6 ghost to guard the jungle. And once in pro play, it was impressive to watch the jungle bengi used Nunu walk into enemy botside red camp dodging every ghost. Then, they nerf the duration and cooldown.

Blitz's W actively NERFS him after use and it's not even that good should at least have a spot in here

With Teemo as my highest mastery champion, I gotta say. His W certainly stands up to his other abilities. Sure, it's only a small speed boost that lasts a short-ish amount of time, but it's what lets Teemo chase someone down a lane or kite people amazingly. You jump at him? He blinds you and kites away. You start running away? He's faster than you, so you're getting attacked all the way back to your tower. Some things that separate a bad Teemo from a good one are their R and W usage. Honestly, I kinda wish they buffed his W a little instead of his Q, because W requires a little skill or practice to know how to use it, at least in relation to his Q, which requires lack of ability to somehow screw it up. I mean, it's point-and-click. A monkey can use Teemo Q efficiently.

I really like Jarvans 2nd skill paired with a red buff. It slows the enemy allowing you to proc atleast two passive

Kogmaw could have a passive that fits his acid-spraying side. Like: his basic attacks could do overall dmg instead of dealing it in one shot, you know, like acid, their hp bar would burn away slowly. And they could add some extra thing to it, like armor or mr reduction effect, maybe a poison lile Twitch's passive, idk. This is just my idea for a new passive.

How was Shyvana's passive not mentioned? It's literally 10% more damage to dragon and 5 armor and MR, increased by 5 for every dragon you take. If you play PERFECTLY, you get... 25 armor and MR. It's literally the worst infinite scaling in the game because you will never realistically go above 5 dragons in a game.

Imo skarner’s passive should all start unclaimed, give him a temporary stat boost no matter where he is, and claiming that on the enemy team just causes them to be temporary unclaimable

I'm a Teemo main and my only grievance with him right now is his W. I mean yeah if you're good with him the speed boost is VERY useful but the fact that so many champions can just dash on top of him now regardless makes his W useless for getting AWAY. Especially when you're specifically being targeted in fights or being camped non stop by the enemy mid and jungle (which happens a LOT when you're Teemo). I wish they'd do what they did in Wild Rift and give him the forward roll to give him some maneuverability to dodge out of the way of things and then get the movespeed afterwards to keep up the pace he needs to either kite or follow up on a situation.

Just came from vars' 5 best abilities premiere lmao

Blitzcrank W should definitely be in the honorable mentions. How could you not acknowledge the only mobility spell in the game with a debuff?

Teemo being on the Majority of people watching that isn't subscribed made me laugh more than it should have. 😂

The only thing I can think for Kog'Maw's : You can "yuumi" onto an enemy you wish anywhere around the map upon death. (Would simply make more sense if anything)

skarner passive could probably be way better if it dropped a crystal in the spot where you first damage a champion and the time it lasts / cooldown can scale with either a stat or level so you always have an area to fight in wherever you decide to fight

Teemo moves a little faster in the jungle, but dies against raptors

0:31 whoa whoa whoa, them’s fighting words. I’ll have you know, Ornn is a really good top laner. Lots of CC, has great damage due to his W, is super tanky, and even buffs the Mythics of your entire team.

i find it funny that a few years back they were gonna fix Teemo's dated kit, making his E part of his passive and buffing his w to basically be a mini twitch q, and giving him a dodge roll as his new e and making his q also proc poison. instead they said that Teemo mains said it would ruin him . . .i wish to meet these people and ask kindly what drugs they were using. Instead they give him his rework years later on wild rift, spitting in the face of the main game and all who main him. Teemo's kit is super dated and i feel like theyre too scared to touch him too much because he's iconic to the game, but the iconic thing about him is his poison's and his shrooms, leave those alone and he's still the same satan. Then again this is the riot balance team and they probably have bigger things to worry about like nerfing Asol again or buffing Yasuo again or releasing a new overloaded champion.

Riot Mort Dog the main guy for TFT in league made a good point about Balance and games. He pointed out that they had one season where everything was balanced however, unfortunately they had the least amount of people playing + enjoying the game simply because balanced = no fun. You need some overpowered concepts in a video game if you want people to play your game is what it seems to be.

On Teemo's W: I would love to see his W synergize with his R. What if he activate his W first, he can throw his R when moving instead of doing the lil animation. Or his W can make him roll in any direction to help with his kiting and makes him passively faster when moving, increased even more in the jungle to help him put mushrooms more effectively.

I still can't get over the fact that someone gave a RANGED hyper carry like Vayne a passive that only works when moving TOWARDS the enemy Talon

The funny thing is, Skarner's passive used to be much better because back then EVERYONE in one team got the stats when they capture a spire. It basically makes an extra objective that players have to capture beforehand. Also this may sound controversial, but Jax W is a bad ability in essence. It's an auto reset with AP scaling. Sounds normal and then you realize oops nobody has built hybrid Jax since S7 or even earlier, and the ones who did are probably just screwing around in normals. It's also one of the few auto resets with no direct effect on the turrets. Fiora Q turrets ffs and Trundle bites them to crumbs. Only thing Jax really offers as a splitpusher is his insane attack speed ramps, which other champs can match with their turret damage already.

Being able to play leauge is the worst ability

Honestly, given their purpose and how they synergize with the rest of the champions' kit, I wouldn't really say Teemo's W or Skarner's passiva are that bad. Skarner is honestly a 1v1 god when near his crystal, and I also think it makes him quite fair to play against, since he's a jungler who's weaker in lane, but strong as heck in the jungle itself, and the crystals not only provide him with a better skirmish, clear and teamfight, but they even grant him sustain throughout the clearing and a lot of rotation through the map, the tough part is making your team play around it. And about Teemo: sure the ability doesn't sound incredible by itself, but it is actually the base that allows him to be so goddamn annoying and get away with it. Not only is what makes his kiting insane in the early game, and basically negates any chance you have at retaliating, on top of granting HIM the ability to retaliate chasing until you're in your tower , but the fact that there is a good amount of passive movement speed also allows him to just don't take tp and have an even more oppressive laning phase with ignite, and honestly, that's basically everything that this champion was designed for. He's absurdly annoying in the laning phase, it's hard to capitalize in his mistakes, and later on he has to go around the map finding good spots for him plan his world domination, in case he's fed from lane (altough this is probably not gonna happen if the enemy team is capable of buying red trinkets lol, but at the same time, you're negating them a lot of vision, as most of the times I play him there are at least 3 red trinkets on the other team, which basically means the support is almost always the only one providing any vision, but then again... it's pretty tough to get a team to coordinate around it)

I’m just going to say it, adc kog makes literally no sense. Every single ability scales with AP and almost all of them are long range skill shots. I am fully convinced kog was designed to be an artillery mage then given high auto attack damage to change him into an adc at the last second

-Surrender, jarvan. I am Mordekaiser, I can send you to the deathrealm a.k.a brazil. It will steal your stats and my passive grants me a lot of damage if you are near me. ¿What are you gonna do? -Pathetic, I have a shield that gives me 60 health. I AM INVENCIBLE

thanks skooch, for real, december's usually a depressing month by itself, this year managed to be worse, but the daily uploads are really helping me hold everything together not that anyone's gonna read this, but it's good to type out every now and then

I love Skarner... but his passive is basically useless when you play him toplane, which is the role I prefer playing him in over jg.

As an Ornn main i must say, Ornn is worth playing a lot. He has dmg, sustain and most importantly BEARD and he has a lot of cc too but those are just the details, like that he can deal around 50% of your max hp as dmg in 1 combo, or that he upgrades your items and basically gives a good edge in late game (which doesnt exist anymore lol).

1. Kalista - If she pops her Sentinel with Q, it will become untargetable and attack nearby enemies while applying W passive (and prioritising those marked by Kalista, procing the damage) it would despawn after [recharge time] has passed. 2. Skarner - Enemy champions that have been killed by Skarner (or scored an assist) leave behind "Crystal Shards". Skarner gains Crystal Charge, if he is less than 500 units away from them. If "Crystal Shards" were to be spawned inside another "Crystal Shard" or inside the area of Crystal Spire, they would instead grow in size by 100 units. 3. Teemo - If there are enemies within X units, it makes Teemo panic and cooldown ticks twice as fast... 4. Jarvan - Golden Aegis now lasts forever or until destroyed. Damage from his passive "Martial Cadence" can repair it to its maximal value. Target immunity to "Martial Cadence" is shortened everytime he attacks Jarvan. 5. Kogmaw - After death he explodes immediatelly and leaves behind a pool of stomach acid. Size determined by how many units he killed (champions count for more). Damage scaling with his bonus AD, AP, critical chance while applying on-hit effects. Ticks of damage are faster with bonus attack speed. While the pool is active, he can click anywhere inside it to cast his R. Pool dries up, reducing itself in size, until it dissappears after 4 seconds. This process can be slowed down, if he has lifesteal/omnivamp.

"Illaoi is garbage" Illaoi: *proceeds to deal 60% of your total health without taking risk upon hitting 1 e*

You know what, imagine Kog has still a in-death passive, but instead of just walking he should be able to lock into an enemy (ideally an assasin) so the target after killing kog maw is now punished for going 1v5 and winning just because they could delete kogmaw Because now he will lock snd reveal the target, invisibility wont be as good as it could really be (and also many assasins (AND DRAKKTHAR) rely on this), and still give option for assasins to do better engages Its technically a win win

When it comes to kogmaw, blowing up is kinda iconic for him, so I think that should still be his passive, but they could do it a bit differently. For example, instead of just him starting to detonate, have it charge up, and then he uses his powerful mouthblast to launch himself at where you currently have your curser or where you last clicked to have it aim there. Kinda like a short range pantheon ult that explodes on impact

2 disagreements here, Teemo’s w isn’t that bad for kiting melee top-laners early game, doesn’t justify putting more than one point of it, but it’s something, and the passive on Sivir’s R is actually really strong if you go lethal tempo and Quickblades

Now, that is a nice list, but i feel like there are abilities that are actually far worse in the game. - Kindred‘s Passive: the sole reason i put it here is because the Enemy can see the marks too of the Jungle Monsters Kindred needs to kill to gain stacks, meaning it‘s extremely easy to where to look and pinpoint a surprise attack against her. It’s even worse when you consider Kindred needs 4 stacks to get some power up. And Kindred absolutely needs those Stacks and Power ups because she just sucks. - Kindred‘s Ult: it‘s a bootleg version of Taric‘s ult and it‘s so much worse. Sure, it’s a circle where you and your teammates can get saved, but also the enemy Champions who can take advantage of your own ult. And 9/10 times when it’s a duel situation, the enemy will always come out on top because, yet again, she sucks. - Ivern‘s W, summoning Bushes: it‘s a complete Gimmick Ability who can as much help your team, as much as it can help your Enemy. It’s so situational that most of the time, you use it for s*its and giggles because sure, if you place 1 Bush on a lane, the enemy will of course first skillshoot there where also your ally is hiding you tried to help. And god forbid someone picks Rengar counter Jungle - Ryze‘s Ult: it takes so long until it finally does it‘s job, EVERYONE can see where you‘re teleporting and the reach is a literal joke. Only works as an escape option in an ambush situation, but since it takes ages to cast, everyone will die first. - Zoe‘s Ult: even thou Zoe can hit you like a truck, her mobility is a joke and having an ult who‘s only purpose is to make your 1 trick stronger, then it’s barely worth being an Ult. Would be wort an ult spot if she could just Teleport like Kassadin. - Kayle‘s E: it’s literally an „excuse“ ability from Riot until you reach Lvl 6 because she already has a long rage Ability with her Q who also slows and applies status on the enemy and her E is just a weak point and clock projectile that has a cooldown of over 10 seconds. - TF‘s Passive: it literally gives you extra gold between 1 - 6 Gold extra if you kill a Minion. Which is laughable compared to other Money abilities like Akshan and Pyke. Meaning you could buy a Cull with any Champion and you get TF‘s passive.

As a Teemo main who maxes w second most of the time (unless I'm vs jax or trynd or something), it's actually pretty useful when it comes to avoiding ganks. Sometimes. Idk I don't think it's terrible at least, would be cool if he broke free from slows or something though

Yorick's passive does basically nothing by itself. I don't know why they didn't just fuse it with his q and kept his pre-rework passive.

Blitzcrank : gets slowed at the end of his W Zoe : misses her bubble>gets a zoning tool

It's incredible the way riot has been treating the game at the moment, no way she can change things to be like that and most players are still part of the people that are not subscribed to skooch, honestly unbelievable...

I really hoped you mentioned rakans Q. Does something like 5 damage, heals like 4, and has almost the same range as his aa range. I sometimes forget completely about it when i use him and i still get S or S+

0:33 why you gotta do me like that

Me as a Maokai Main and Skarner intusiast can feel this video so much. I actually stoped playing this game months ago and cant wait to Skarner be released in LoR.

I believe that Kog'maw's passive should make every auto reduce a bit of the enemy's armor and mr, just like his q but only up to 10%, maybe 20% in late game, this would not only fit his void and stomach acid attacks, as he would be better on what he already is good at: melting tanks. By the way, i have been playing Kog'maw for the last year, so this didn't came out of blue, every aspect Skooch said is true and its sad how such an old passive survived to the new days of league just to become obsolete.

I think teemos W is too powerful, I think it's time to nerf a sol E

Xerath's passive gives him 30 mana every 12 seconds if he hits a minion or 60 if he hits a champion. Compared to a modern champion, Yuumi's passive gives her 25 mana + 8% of her max mana + 60 shield (which scales whit AP) + extra range on her next base attack basic attack every 14 seconds... but while Xerath's passive cooldown stays the same through the entire game, Yuumi's passive cooldown goes from 14 at level 1 to only 6 at level 18. And just to be clear, no, his passive dosent scale up whit anything besides level, unlike Yuumi's which scales whit both AP and max mana. in summery, i think Xerath's passive is one of the worst passive currently on the game

Ashe's Q. They already stubbed her an ability slot with her E being a glorified warding totem, they didn't have to stub her 2. It procs her on hit abilities more, but if you're building on hit or crit, you probably already have 2.5 attack speed and don't need the boost. And even if you aren't and you do need the boost, not building attack speed means you probably won't even be able to activate it until the fight is already over.

"Yuumi doesn't need to right click." Every good Yuumi player: *insert JJJ laughing at Peter Parker gif here* ... You serious?

You forgot nidalees trap that does about 40 damage over 4 seconds and has 5% ap scaling. It's only useful under 2 very specific conditions. You're nearby AND they have low HP because if it's just 1 of those then you have no play to make. (also very useful for jungle camps but that's not the point right now xD) And it has a pretty high cooldown early and like the other abilities you mentioned you're definitely upgrading it last. You can also only have like 4 out at the start. I'm a nid main and I tried going burn since the traps burn for 4 seconds and placing them all around just as a meme but you can only place 4 at the start and it goes up to 10. Just the worst trap in the game compared to shaco jhin and teemo traps since it's not an AOE trap, has no CC, does the least damage, and has the most restrictions

Kog'Maw getting ready to explode w his passive, while Lissandra gets ready to make -everyone- explode with her passive. XD

Hey man, I've been going through a rough time the past few months and one of the things that make me happy are watching ur videos. Thx for existing

Blitzcrank W literally slows him. On a long cd. Worst ability in the game.

Tbh i find Teemo's w so god damn good. Combine the passive effect with relentless hunter and you are guaranteed to be first on lane almost always so you get more exp, gold and can manage the wave (if you know how). Your jg has prio on topside cuz you will always be there first (if you react quickly). I believe his w is one of the things that just makes Teemo never lose in lane cuz no matter how many times you die, just farming and planting your shrooms correctly can keep you in the game. Also considering you are a ranged top, farming against a fed enemy is easier than it would be for a close range. His ult is a huge wave manager to a point where if you both recall, you are the one who gets there first and you can shove his wave and get some turret plates (possibly). Edit: Forgot to mention i sometimes max W right after E cuz the out of combat ms is usefull af if you pushed the enemy turret and want to steal his jg.

All the death passives have the potential to screw over your enemies: Zac and Anivia can revive, Sion can punch you in the face And Karthus can spell sling away or fully channel his ult uninterrupted. And then there is Kog who just tickles you. Kogs passive is like a worse version of Quinn's old ULT, you know that ult that forces a ranged champ into melee range.

Jarvan's W is actually pretty useful in laning phase. The shield is really a secondary effect to force a 1 hit trade which tends to be in Jarvan's favor, moreso if he can Q them after disengage.

Ngl i'm a lil disappointed Malz W isn't on here. Voidlings die in literally 1 AoE ability. They're only useful for pushing a lane with no enemy in it.

You’ve really become one of my favorite content creators recently. Keep up the good vids skooch!

As a teemo main I have to say that after boots this ability is very useful becouse if the enemy toplaner didn't hit you you can easily hit him becouse of the range and the passive on w and after that you can use it and have even more speed

hahahah the joke with 2 seconds and the silence. That hit hard!

Kog'Maw passive rework: Gluttony Kog'Maw gains 1 attack damage on hit, doubled against champions, stacking infinitely. Stacks last 15 seconds, timing out individually. On takedown, Kog'Maw loses all stacks and heals for 1% missing HP per stack over 2 seconds. On death, Kog'Maw launches a basic attack at all enemies within range.

Lissandra passive: turns every kill near her into a kog'maw passive , that slows, deals more damage,scales with AP, has a bigger radius,can be used 5 times in a tf.

Still waiting for these vids to reference Renekton's passive. Which is literally just "This character has a resource, it generates faster if he's losing".

Yo you make such fun content, I really enjoy the cadance and humor you work with. Keep it up skoochikims

I main kog'maw so it's nice to see someone finally talk about at least something to help him, i main him purely because he has a pug skin, he isn't good and it genuinely feels like every adc other than miss fortune and ezreal counters me.

Agreeing with some comments I see about kog's passive - here's my personal opinion on its "fix" 1. "mark" Enemies that damage Kog within the past x seconds, and deal whatever % damage AFTER Kog's death, based on how much damage THEY dealt to Kog. 2. The damage should be split amongst all enemies that have attacked kog within the past x seconds. 3. The damage dealt from the "mark" should be increased the shorter kog was in combat. Aka, if an assassin one shots kog, they die with him or lose 75~% their health. If he dies 1v2, maybe they lose 50% health each, etc. Thoughts?

It doesn't even need to change a lot of Kog'maw's passive. One small extra text would make it borderline broken: "It executes minions" Imagine you want to get an advantage against the enemy Kog'maw and you successfully kill him before the wave crash into the turret, only for him to execute the entire minion wave, resetting it and not losing much besides his death. Hell, you could even execute yourself under turret just to proxy the next wave and gain a lot more by pressuring the opponent.

Carefull what you say here Skooch... Someone at Riot will see this and turn Teemo's "Move fast" into: Passive: Increases movement speed and attack speed by 20%. Active: Grants gradually increasing movement speed over 10 seconds. Every second granting a stack of SPEED. Each stack of SPEED increases Teemo's ability power by 10. Upon reaching 500 movement speed, Teemo will be able to jump over terrain. The first auto or shroom that hits a champion deals an increased damage based on the targets missing health while granting Teemo a shield that lasts for 5 seconds scaling off attack speed, crit chance, attack damage, bonus health, life steal and magic penetration.

“My mom can outrun Skarner”. Meanwhile, Skarner in my game running like a madman.

_"Alright, we made an adc who's whole kit kinda focuses on them being far away from people, not to mention, they are also an adc, so by design they're not gonna be close to people all that much anyway, what should his pas-"_ *"Dead man's hand"* _"What?"_ *"Did I stutter?"*

something people doesnt know is that skarner E counts as one crystal on the map this means that if you hit multiple minions and a champion you only need hit a minion and another to trade the champion and have that crystal buff for 1.5 seconds sadly doesnt last so much so it only works for trades ...

Blitzcranks W is so bad it was even forgotten in a list about bad abilities xD

the fact that viego w isn't even in honorable mentions is kinda crazy specially since akashan ult is for some reason also if ur really having that much trouble with akhans ult especially since u for some reason mentioned ulting someone on full hp which you should never do then it might be a user error issue

yo, fun fact, with Jarvan's shield? if you already have two stacks, you can trigger electrocute on someone who flashed away for a kill.

it's shocking but at the same time isn't considering riot has 157 champs (currently) and each one at minimum has 4 abilities + passive so that's 785 there are probably a little bit more give or take. hopefully they can eventually give the older ones a new light.

Sejuani's new ult. Used to be that you threw something and froze a champ you hit, now it barely buffs your team to be slightly better in combat but not so much that you wouldn't be better off with literally any other support character

i never laughed so much but that j4 bit nearly killed me i made a sixpack just cuz i laughed so much XD

Teemos move quick just needs to be an update where he tumbles a small distance and an attack speed boost. Remove it from his passive or make it smaller

Quick game design note, some abilities being useless does not make a character unbalanced. That's like saying because a fighting game character made for zoning has really bad close-combat moves makes the character poorly balanced. Weaknesses =/= Not Balanced. Just a bit of a terminology nitpick and that being said these are some crummy abilities. I would love to see Kog'Maw's changed. It doesn't really mesh with his abilities and playstyle. If we were to keep the death bomb thing, I'd love to see it swapped to where he gets ramping movespeed and it's like a Samira Ult going off that scales off his attack speed and damage until he blows to further encourage his primary intended build.

Thank you skooch, I needed this really bad and you make amazing videos!

The only situations where Kog'Maw passive is not useless in in shit fests like level 1 fights or ARAMs. In the very rare occasions it might also help make an early game bot lane fight a 1-1 instead of 0-1 helping to keep the lane more even and have the enemy not benefit as much from your death since you took their ADC with you.

with so many dashes in the game, they should create more champions with the effect from cassio W or singed W, like imagine if annie could W you (putting herself in risk, since it is worth it) while denying your dashes for 2 seconds. she wouldn't be so fragile to mobile champs

okay i have a suggestion for kog passive. it's really simple. it deals 150% max hp true damage. this makes suicide bomber kog viable as well as making it actually somewhat useful if you're playing normally, because at least you can take a melee person down with you, potentially. still useless if you get bonked from a lux ult but i think it'd be neat

Even the tiniest amount of mitigation would help Kog'maw because he's so big for how squishy he is

Cog'Maw passive: oh boy this was a close fight, he won but only has 20 hp left, I will just get him with my passive, oh... Triumph exists...

This is a team game. Teammates are supposed to help you. This is especially true with Kog'Maw. He is the textbook, "Help me and I'll carry; don't help me and I'm useless" Champion. This principle extends to his passive, as well. It's not meant to be effective on its own. It's not even meant to be reliably successful on its own. The team is supposed to help. Kog'Maw just died? Better make use of any slows, roots, and stuns we have available to help Kog'Maw achieve something with his passive. That is how Kog'Maw works. He is dependent on his team to enable him, even after death.

What about Singed's kit? All he really has is his gas. His abilities include a glue puddle that is a flat slow, an over the shoulder toss that roots ***if they land in the glue*** and his R is just a flat stat boost with no scaling (outside of ability level), and his passive is just a slight speed boost in chase. Side note, I disagree about Zilean's passive. Early game, it can help the ADC get 6 slightly early, which can feed them a good engage and a kill if played right.

Taliyah passive: gives move speed when near walls. •Not the most practical passive during small skirmishes/team fights. •has some niche uses when clearing to be slightly faster, and approach ganks slightly faster?
