Release Date: November 10, 2016
Kog'Maw, the Voidborn terror, has always been a creature of chaos and destruction. With his insatiable hunger and acidic attacks, he has struck fear into the hearts of his enemies on the Fields of Justice. However, there is one skin that takes Kog'Maw's terrifying nature to a whole new level - Hextech Kog'Maw.
Released on November 10, 2016, Hextech Kog'Maw is a legendary skin that transforms the Voidborn creature into a mechanical monstrosity. This skin is part of the Hextech series, which features champions and creatures infused with the power of Hextech technology.
As soon as you equip Hextech Kog'Maw, you'll notice the dramatic change in his appearance. The once fleshy and grotesque creature is now encased in a suit of gleaming metal and gears. His body is covered in intricate Hextech machinery, with glowing blue energy pulsating through his mechanical limbs. The skin truly captures the essence of the Hextech theme, giving Kog'Maw a futuristic and menacing look.
But the visual changes are not the only thing that makes Hextech Kog'Maw special. This skin also features unique animations and sound effects that further enhance the experience. When Kog'Maw activates his W ability, Bio-Arcane Barrage, his mechanical jaws open wide, revealing a swirling vortex of energy as he unleashes devastating attacks. The sound effects accompanying his abilities are also modified, adding a metallic and futuristic touch to his already terrifying arsenal.
One of the standout features of Hextech Kog'Maw is his recall animation. When Kog'Maw recalls, he retreats into a portal that opens up beneath him, disappearing into the void. Moments later, he reappears in a burst of energy, ready to continue wreaking havoc on the battlefield. This recall animation perfectly captures the otherworldly nature of Kog'Maw and adds an extra layer of immersion to the skin.
Now that we've covered the details of Hextech Kog'Maw, let's delve into the story of the champion himself. Kog'Maw is a Voidborn creature, hailing from the dark and twisted realm known as the Void. Created by the Void's insatiable hunger, Kog'Maw's sole purpose is to devour and destroy everything in his path.
In the game, Kog'Maw is classified as a marksman, relying on his long-range attacks to deal massive damage to his enemies. His passive ability, Icathian Surprise, allows him to explode upon death, dealing damage to nearby enemies. This makes him a dangerous threat even in his demise.
Kog'Maw's Q ability, Caustic Spittle, allows him to spit a corrosive projectile at his enemies, reducing their armor and magic resist. His W ability, Bio-Arcane Barrage, empowers his basic attacks, increasing their range and dealing bonus magic damage based on the target's maximum health. This ability makes Kog'Maw a formidable tank shredder.
His E ability, Void Ooze, creates a trail of ooze that slows enemies and deals damage over time. This ability is great for zoning enemies or escaping sticky situations. Finally, Kog'Maw's ultimate ability, Living Artillery, allows him to launch long-range artillery shots that deal massive damage to enemies within a targeted area.
While Kog'Maw possesses immense damage potential, he is also incredibly fragile. With low base health and no built-in mobility, positioning and teamwork are crucial for Kog'Maw players. Protecting him and utilizing his long-range capabilities are key to success.
In the lore of League of Legends, Kog'Maw is a terrifying force of destruction, feared by all who encounter him. His insatiable hunger and mindless rampage make him a perfect embodiment of the Void's chaotic nature. Kog'Maw's presence on the Fields of Justice serves as a reminder of the ever-present threat of the Void and the horrors it can unleash.

Belched forth from a rotting Void incursion deep in the wastelands of Icathia, Kog'Maw is an inquisitive yet putrid creature with a caustic, gaping mouth. This particular Void-spawn needs to gnaw and drool on anything within reach to truly understand it. Though not inherently evil, Kog'Maw's beguiling naiveté is dangerous, as it often precedes a feeding frenzy—not for sustenance, but to satisfy its unending curiosity.
