The people who come out with idea that crit is 'wasted' on Kog'Maw really annoy me. With his W active he does 0.55 AD on each attack and attacks twice as fast. So assume his autoattacks do 100 damage per second, on-hits not included. With W on he does (100*0.55)*2 damage per second, or 110 (again on-hits not included). So again, with 0 onhits his W still does more damage than normal. He has nothing that REDUCES the effectiveness of crit, indeed his W INCREASES its effectivenss. A quote from this wiki on crit:

'When averaged over a large number of autoattacks and at Base critical damage (100% bonus damage), critical strike chance is essentially a damage multiplier where each 1% of critical chance adds 1% bonus damage. Thus at 50% critical strike chance a champion will be doing (on average) 150% damage with autoattacks, not counting Bonus critical strike damage. Because of this, critical strike chance scales well with both attack damage and attack speed'.

Kog'Maw already has a 10% increase in a way, and will pretty much always be dropping a large volume of attacks in a fight (so we can assume that we hit the average). Therefore he's getting, with say 30% crit (runnans), an additional 110%*0.3=33% damage on his autos on average. How does that seem like a 'waste', even with 0 bonus AD and a raw AS/Onhit build? (Note most Kog's I know will at leat pick up a Guinsoo's, and I myself enjoy the Gunblade/Guinsoo's combo).

Becase of how crit scales with AS, it isnt really wasted on any champ who builds a lot of AS. The only exceptions that come to mind are Azir (Because he doesnt actually auto people) and Kalista (While crit is still useful on her, due to her autos having a poor AD scaling without any AS advantage to compensate it is worse on her than normal. Plus, a lot of her power is loaded into Rend, which does NOT scale with crit)
