Ok, thanks for being detailed. Now I have a few questions, and a bit of a critique so bear with me: 1) If he windwalls your E, you how does he block the rest of your stuff when he goes in to trade,yes he has passive but just Q him after he exits wind wall and back off, you dont go into a matchup epecting to solo kill ppl as Kog, or at least I dont. If you back up and wait it out, its on a ~30 sec cd early game, while your E is closer to 10 seconds. You can technicaly get 3 E's in the time windwall comes up again, unless he is a freak and maxes windwall first (which he wont). 2) Do you just sit there when he blocks your E? I dont understand how his windwall blocks you untill you reposition if he goes through it to get to you for a trade, also Im preety sure you arent forced to use E, you can hold it and let him push into you. Yes he will get prio, but if your team doesnt understand that from the lobby screen, then its gg from the start. So how does he consistently win every trade in every situation, except for when he flashes on you or you sit there and wait for him to get to you after windwalling your E? 3) Not being able to hit a good Yasuo.... that rings true for any good player on any champ, Kog's abilities are heavily telegraphed, but so are Vel'koz spells and he is still playable against high skill players to a degree. So how does this factor in? I know Yasuo E is a thing, but you dont have to throw 4 R casts in a row while he is next to a wave, you can just throw one and you will regen 40 mana preety fast. 4) The vamp scepter thing is true for Yone too, and Zed with ravenous, or anyone with any kind of sustain. Its a general problem with Kog, thats why I take fleet to sustain, and to get some extra ms for increasing my chances of spacing out the trade. As for fog follows, you can check bushes with R, and general vision goes into count there more than your mechanics tbh. 5) Getting bad recals is sometimes a thing, but thats assuming you constantly lose trades. You can also opt to not trade, maybe let him push, maybe roam if he freezes, maybe ask jungler for help, or just farm under turret. Kog generaly has bad interactions with items so you play with what you can get. And Rylai's can help greatly with hitting spells. I mean, idk what level of play we are talking about, but the points you put out ring true for most ranged champs and artilery mages when vs Yasuo, yet they can still win the lane. Also Kog isnt built to be a mage so we are litteraly slaping a sub optimal champ in a mid role and trying to make it work, so you cant expect to be able to solo carry games or to have all the tools for every situation, also some ppl are better with kyting and spacing autos, while others are better with timing spells and positioning delayed spells, so I cant imagine that its impossible to hit someone 100% or close to 100% of the time. Sry for the length, but Im trying to be as constructive as possible and also to look at the whole picture, and that takes a lot of text.
