I might have some people question this logic and possibly call me a troll, but I'm going to say it anyway: BotRK is a HORRIBLE item for Kog'Maw. For a champion who literally has zero AD scalings on his basic abilities and has a kit with every skill dealing magic damage (and a true damage death effect), the only useful stat is the attack speed on this item. But this begs the question: Why spend 3300g on 25% attack speed when you can buy a Recurve Bow and get the same speed for a third of the price?

Of course you could make the argument that having the on-hit damage and lifesteal is good, but that is somewhat conflicting with the rest of his kit. I'm pretty sure we all know that Kog'Maw doesn't scale well with AD, AP, Critical Strike/Damage, or armor pen/Lethality. However, every other marksman that build's BotRK doesn't have this problem. Lucian has amazing ratios and a reliable method of applying the on-hit effect and lifesteal. And so does Varus, Kalista, Vayne, and MF.

EDIT: I could go on for another 4 or 5 paragraphs but I will just end with this statement: I'm not saying no one should buy this anymore on Kog'Maw. However I wll say there are better alternatives that give more attack speed with less cost.
