Why thank you. I'm worried his innate looks super bloated and the rest of his kit is bland by comparison.

I like Kog'Maw's innate too much to ever remove it - for me, it's his most iconic ability. It is so satisfying to use or even fail to use. Even if your reason to remove it is perfectly valid and I would usually agree - I'm not able to overcome my irrational bias, in this instance. ;)

And it wasn't 100% intentional that I removed the shred - I will confess I did not realize they had mad it percentile. It used to be flat reduction, which was only strong against squishies (as with Lethality and Flat Magic Penetration). I deliberately removed this, but apparently I'm out-dated. Does he actually need the resistance reduction, though, if the ability itself is stronger and he has more attack speed in his kit?
