AP On-Hit Kog'Maw kinda is a jack of all trades. You can both penetrate HP and armor, have poke, burst and DPS. For me it's the insane flexiblity this build for Kog'Maw offers that makes him so fun. There's not a single enemy you can't outplay, even though it's arguably hard to do so vs. certain opponents.

Compared to his straight AP build, it's a shift of power: Less flat damage, therefore less power in terms of poking and bursting. More versatility, dps and impact against tanks. He takes longer to scale and kinda needs to be protected.

I know it sounds weird, but if you're both mid and adc main, you might want to try to play him on the marksman role. It's a bit of a hard start, but once you know how to play him, you'll see in midgame that it's way more impactfull to build him like that, when you got some protection to rely on.
