Random question: what the gently caress is Wit's End Kog and why is it so popular?

Wit's end is a cheap, extremely gold efficient item that not only gives Kog an extra on-hit but makes all of his abilities do extra damage. It's strong.

it has attack speed and on hit damage and the passive combined with Kog W absolutely shreds people. its pretty cheap and it's gold efficient with 0 stacks at all.

I'll have to try it at some point I've always been a masochist who likes solo queuing Kog

also hurricane applies stacks of Wit's End passive to multiple targets so the MR shred sticks even when you have to switch targets, which is nice for Kog.

if you can duo with somebody Ardent Censer Soraka is basically like an extra free Wit's End on Kog.

Right now the big strat for Kogmaw is an onhit build. You build Wits End and Runaans to steal massive amounts of MR, deal lots of small stacking damage, and shred MR. You then build rageblade to speed up that shred from the Wits End and the mag damage. With Tahm, Shen, and Karma back in the meta, you have an easy way to protect your kogmaw without having to actually dedicate yourself to a juggermaw comp and he no longer has to be babied through the 2v2 since he doesn't have to sit around doing literally nothing until he gets rageblade. It's really good.

I hate how the casters are blaming this on indecision. Who cares if Apex decides on a play? They have no engage, they can't force anything if they wanted to.

I supremely dislike this Bard build but it is probably not important in the context of winning or losing this game since one team is definitely going to throw.

None of this compares to Splyce's glorious composition today, but I appreciate TSM for being cool.

The important thing here is that, while Teemo was played, people were shown why Teemo should not be played.

I guess Splyce has been playing the Jhin/Sion botlane in scrims for weeks. It sounds like they actually think its legit and it did work really well.

A part of me finds it hilarious (and a bit sad) that during the game break for TSM/ NRG the camera guy managed to bop Ohq pretty hard on the head.

Also, as an Aram player, that teemo build was garbage. Don't go AD teemo, go AP and get Ryalais to really piss off the enemy team. Throw in Ludens Echo and it makes for a LOT of spread damage.
