OK. When I started playing this game koshka was my main. Now I find myself frustrated because bloodrush was nerfed and her abilities were changed. Any tips on this new update? Every match I play with her,I typically lose. My usual build is clockwork,frostburn,boots, situational aftershock or broken myth, and situational defense. Nothing has worked out for me since the update and I typically cant win a teamfight. (preupdate I would usually take 2 guys for every team fight with this same build) what do you guys do?

I would say ditch Clockwork. Just about every build where I try it, it doesn't help. Instead, try Aftershock or Eve of Harvest. Maybe both. Broken Myth is a good option as well; it makes Turrets and Krakens easier to beat.

As for defense, maybe try Aegis/Crucible (Aegis as a counter to CP, Crucible otherwise) for the Reflex. Atlas Pauldron against WP.

One more thing, try to stay out of the middle of team fights. Koshka is super-squishy, so she's best used for picking off enemies weakened by those team fights. Save your boot dashes for when you need an escape, use your Reflex and Pauldron to make the getaway cleaner, then be ready to jump back in at a moment's notice. Do NOT pick fights where you're outnumbered; you will typically lose if your opponent knows what they're doing.

I use Koshka too when my team picks a roamer and laner before me. I would say ditch clockwork in the beginning and get aftershock first. Clockwork isn't really helpful if your crystal build is really low and I would only get it if I have extra space or enough gold at the end. I also would build the boots quickly as well. Koshka def needs a fast escape. Maybe do a try and error run in bot matches before trying anything ranked. I highly suggest no weapon build for Koshka or a hybrid build. It's really tough to go for both.
