Learn how to Kog'Maw counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage on Kog'Maw when his W (Bio-Arcane Barrage) is on cooldown — during this 17-second window, he loses both his range advantage and his percent health damage, making him significantly weaker.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Focus on locking down Kog'Maw in team fights with crowd control — his lack of mobility makes him extremely vulnerable once caught, and preventing him from auto-attacking neutralizes his primary damage output.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Play aggressively in the early game before Kog'Maw reaches his power spikes — he's particularly vulnerable during this period as he lacks items and his abilities deal less damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Avoid extended trades when Kog'Maw has his W active — the percent health damage and increased range give him a significant advantage in longer exchanges.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position away from Kog'Maw's E (Void Ooze) when engaging — this ability slows by up to 60% and is his primary self-protection tool with a 12-second cooldown.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Kog'Maw dies, back away quickly — his passive allows him to move faster for 4 seconds before exploding to deal true damage in a medium-sized area.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Pay attention to Kog'Maw's Q (Caustic Spittle), which reduces armor and magic resistance by 16-32% — engage him after he uses this ability to avoid having your defenses reduced during all-ins.
Lane Phase Skirmish
After firing multiple ultimates in succession, Kog'Maw becomes increasingly mana-constrained — each cast increases the cost by 40 mana, up to a maximum of 400 mana per cast.
