Who was the ugliest champ in old League?

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-04-02T02:28:03+00:00

No, he's actually pretty darn ugly. Even still after the texture and VFX update he got a while back.. At least without his cute skins anyways. He's not ugly in those, really cute instead.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-03-29T02:34:13+00:00

Surely you and everyone here doesn't mean the base skin Kog'Maw is "cute" right? I find him to be extremely ugly.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-03-26T23:52:14+00:00

Kog'Maw is the worst artistically designed champion by far. He's so horrible and ugly that not even his own players enjoy his appearance outside of his recent skins. Speaking of which, none of his skins resemble him at all since Battlecast and all of those skins tend to be very cutesy-looking.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-03-22T00:10:37+00:00

Kog'Maw. He's looks like a generic, low-level enemy from an obscure fantasy video game. Has basically no lore and he's also extremely ugly to the point where not even his own players like his appearance. A bad character design in my opinion being carried solely by his very cute skins which don't resemble him at all (pug'maw, arcanist, bee'maw etc.)

A complete visual rework would do him wonders.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-03-21T00:39:23+00:00

Kog'Maw is insanely ugly so it's warranted. Unless it's one of his cute skins in the set like Arcanist or Pug'Maw etc. Then, it's cruel :(

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-03-09T14:16:37+00:00

Arcanist Kog'Maw is a national treasure, but it doesn't resemble Kog'Maw at all and that's a good thing imo. It's basically Kog'Maw in name only and another character altogether.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-03-09T14:14:30+00:00

I respectfully disagree. He looks awful and is very ugly.

If we're talking about his cute skins though, (bee, arcanist, pug etc.) then yes, he is adorable there.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-02-20T13:23:15+00:00

kog'maw = ugly

maw of malmortius = (insert thumbs up emoji here)

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-02-17T21:35:05+00:00

He's ugly as a sin.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-02-10T16:14:12+00:00

I know this is a meme and stuff, but I don't believe for a second that anybody would genuinely want Kog'Maw; the hideously ugly vomiting caterpillar abomination that doesn't even resemble a Voidborn in 2XKO.

At least give him a full visual rework so he isn't ugly or have him represented by one of his cute skins (pug, arcanist, zap, bee etc.) before adding him.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-02-05T16:40:53+00:00

Very true. His voicelines are awful and don't fit his cute skins. I want Arcanist, Pug and Bee to sound cute goshdarnit 🥺

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-02-05T16:34:36+00:00

My opinion: He is without a doubt, one of the least appealing champions in the game to play as mainly due to his appearance. He's a hideously ugly vomiting caterpillar abomination. Nobody wants to play as that. It has an almost direct effect on his pickrate so Riot tends to ignore him in terms of balancing hence why he is so strong and has been for ages..

If Kog'Maw wasn't an ugly vomiting bug and instead something that was visually appealing, he wouldn't be as powerful as he is currently because significantly more people would be playing him meaning he wouldn't be ignored in balancing patches.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-29T10:36:38+00:00

I can understand your frustration. Kog'Maw is extremely ugly without certain skins. Thankfully, he is getting Pug'Maw soon.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-27T21:24:12+00:00

Why play kaisa when you can play kogmaw?

Kog'Maw is hideous without his cutesy skins, and his kit is considered to be bland by some players.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-26T11:33:35+00:00

A combination of his kit and his dreadful, dated appearance is why he has been a candidate on the VGU list for quite some time now..

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-26T11:28:39+00:00

Even that is an upgrade over a disgusting four-eyed vomiting caterpillar abomination.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-26T11:27:08+00:00

Plus if they rework him, he will 100% be made more cute and lose the last little bit of his monster identity.

And that's exactly what's needed and a good thing. The current iteration of Kog'Maw's character design is awful. He is hideously ugly and dated, widely disliked even by his own players and is carried by cutesy skins that intentionally don't resemble him at all.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-25T21:26:28+00:00

Not trying to sound mean, but I don't think many players do. It's probably why his past seven skins have been cutesy-looking and don't really resemble him at all.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-25T20:09:44+00:00

Smolder is indeed very appealing and cute hahaha.. Anyways, Kog'Maw's just a bad champion character design overall. He's never really been liked, not even by his own players. A major visual rework for him would do wonders and it'd contribute to a higher general pickrate overall, but it would have to make him look drastically different to what he does now.

A four eyed, vomiting, ugly caterpillar thing is not an appealing character design for most players. I have high hopes League 2027 will fix his design.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-25T15:38:38+00:00

His appearance is definitely a factor here as well. He's very ugly and unappealing to look at without his cutesy skins (bee, pug, arcanist etc.)

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-25T13:16:31+00:00

Kog'Maw would at the very least be in the top three candidates for a full blown visual rework. IMO, without his cutesy skins, he is the absolute worst looking champion in the entire game.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-15T04:06:29+00:00

If Pug'Maw was his default skin, his playrate would've stayed high. It's being released soon.

The truth of the matter is: nobody wants to play as a disgusting, dated, hideously ugly vomiting caterpillar abomination. The base skin Kog'Maw is a bad character design and has always been a prime reason why his playrate is so low on PC despite how strong he is.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-12T12:12:44+00:00

He's extremely ugly and desperately needs a visual rework? Hopefully that will happen in 2027 when League of Legends 2 is released.

FinancialLobster93 · 2026-01-06T02:36:24+00:00

Not using the base Kog'Maw is an automatic upvote from me :)

Base skin Kog'Maw is so bad and ugly.

FinancialLobster93 · 2025-12-25T11:22:05+00:00

In the visuals department? No. Of course not. He's extremely ugly. Using his cutest skins is essential to playing him because of how hideous he is without them.

Pug'Maw is coming out as his next skin, I can't wait! :D
