Please stop building Madred's Bloodrazer on Kog Maw...

He does not need it. Madred's gives +4% target max HP, and you buy it when you need to shred tanks (even though Last whisper is more cost effective, and Madred's is too expensive period for low ROI, so actually nobody buys it at all).

Simple logic: you buy items that round a champion off and make up for things he lacks. If for example, your champion is Leona and she gets +30 armor+MR from her W in lane, then would you buy armor on leona as a top priority? No, you should buy HP as her first priority, because she does not need armor.

Kog maw has shred built in, and he also has atk speed perma-passive so he has some of the best damage early game. Do you need to build more shred??? NO. It does not round him off and you waste 3.8K gold. Farm IE or BT. Not Madred's. If you do that, then you now have an AD who does damage on par with other ADs ALONG WITH his shred, and it's now a bonus.

Don't build things into a champion when the champion already has them. That is in fact the best opportunity to build better things since...guess what? He already has it, so you can SKIP it. Why on earth would you build Madreds for 4% shred when kog has THE SAME 4% by lvl10 or so and 6% at max level W? Are you dumb?
