To the original, you play him wrong. You either go AD/Tank-raping Kog (who will ALWAYS be able to take down at least one of them, even though they'll pwn you) by building Madred's Bloodrazor and then stacking AS, or you go AP/Artillery Kog. AP is better, but has MUCH harder farming in early-mid game.

Yes, you're right, Kog is SUPER susceptible to ganks, which is why, early game, you need to either be super lane aware for MIAs or (if there are ANY assassin champs that can stealth) you lane with a CC tank. Kog isn't one of those Carries that can wander off by himself after he farms and levels. Even late game, you should always try to lack a little behind a group of some sort.

Saying that getting a pro ELO with Kog is virtually impossible or completely luck-based is incredibly insulting (and very incorrect), especially when I often have people on the other team ragequit from being Ult spammed. He's NOT teammate dependent either, though you should have a tank who's willing to engage enemies. If you get raped as Kog, you ARE playing him wrong and should try to work on your positioning and lane awareness to prevent getting ganked/focused.

Kog's role is that he can either DEMOLISH tanks or guarantee you win teamfights (AD/AS and AP builds respectively). If you're playing AP and you get ulted by Jarvan, Noct, Renekton, or any champ like that (assuming you're stupid enough to get that close to the action), then those champs will do it at the expense of losing the actual teamfight that's going on because they'll be distracted.

Learn proper Kog positioning and his early game farming, THEN come back and tell me that Kog'maw can't/doesn't fulfill his role of either anti-tank (AD/AS) or Teamfight winner (Ult spamming with AP). I actually can't think of another ranged carry who fits both roles quite easily......
