How to beat Kog'Maw

Common role: ADC

A living artillery cannon that melts tanks — if he lives long enough.

What makes Kog'Maw dangerous

Kog'Maw's W extends his range massively and shreds % max HP on hit — tanks evaporate. He slows with void ooze, pokes with long artillery (R), and even in death his passive corpse chases and explodes. With an enchanter babysitter he's a raid boss.

How to play against Kog'Maw

• 1He's the least mobile carry in the game — one gap-close kills him.
• 2Dive him OUTSIDE the W window (its cooldown is real).
• 3Kill him last-second? Walk from the corpse — it explodes.
• 4Cut the head: kill his enchanter first if she's the peel.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Zero mobility — every assassin's dream.
• ✓Nearly useless when W is on cooldown.
• ✓Needs a dedicated protector to function.
• ✓Weak early laning.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Kog'Maw's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Icathia Sürprizi

  Kog'Maw katledildikten 4 saniye sonra patlayarak çevresindeki rakiplere gerçek hasar verir.

  Strong: his corpse chases and explodes for true damage. Weak: a walking speed bomb — simply step away after the kill.

• Q
  Ölümün Salyaları

  Kog'Maw büyü hasarı verdiği hedefin zırh ve büyü direncini kısa süreliğine düşüren, çürütme etkisine sahip bir salgı fırlatır. Ayrıca Kog'Maw ilave saldırı hızı kazanır.

  Strong: shreds both resists while boosting his attack speed. Weak: a thin skillshot — the shred misses more than it lands.

• W
  Biyo-Büyü Salvosu

  Kog'Maw'ın saldırılarının menzili artar ve %i:OnHit% isabet halinde hedefin azami can değerinin belirli bir oranına eşdeğer büyü hasarı verir.

  Strong: huge bonus range plus %max-HP magic on-hit — tank deleter. Weak: a short window on a real cooldown — dive exactly after it drops.

• E
  Hiçlikten Sızan

  Kog'Maw üstünden geçtiği rakiplere hasar veren ve üstünde duran rakipleri yavaşlatacak şekilde bir iz bırakan, tuhaf bir salya bırakır.

  Strong: a long slow-field that covers his kiting lane. Weak: just a slow — dashes and tenacity walk through it.

• R
  Canlı Havan

  Kog'Maw çok uzun menzilli bir havan atışı yaparak büyü hasarı verir (bu hasar, Can miktarı düşük rakiplere karşı büyük ölçüde artar) ve gizli olanlar haricindeki hedeflerin görünür olmasını sağlar. Ayrıca kısa aralıklarla atılan birden fazla Canlı Havan, fazladan Manaya mal olur.

  Strong: global-feeling artillery poke that executes low HP (%missing). Weak: a visible landing circle — walk unpredictably when low.

Itemization

Flank and dive — never front-to-back into artillery mode. Assassins and hard engage are hard counters.
