How to play against Kog'Maw

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Trade around W downtime; back off while his extended range is active.
2. Push him off farm with short bursts, then disengage before his passive revenge damage matters.
3. Attack from fog or side angles so he cannot free-fire through a front line.
4. Save displacement or hard crowd control for him, not the first tank in range.
5. Commit fully when his protection steps forward; half-engages let him shred your team.

Where Kog'Maw is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Kog'Maw's damage uptime depends on standing and firing, so forced movement or dive removes his carry threat.
• Kog'Maw offers little self-peel, making his scaling depend heavily on allies controlling access to him.
