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
  来自艾卡西亚的惊喜

  在死后4秒，克格莫会爆炸，对周围的敌人造成真实伤害。

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

• Q
  腐蚀唾液

  克格莫发射一团腐蚀性物质，对目标造成魔法伤害，并暂时腐蚀目标的护甲和魔法抗性。克格莫还会获得额外攻速。

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

• W
  生化弹幕

  克格莫的攻击获得额外距离，并且能够对目标造成额外的魔法伤害，伤害值基于目标的最大生命值%i:OnHit% 攻击特效。

  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
  虚空淤泥

  克格莫抛射出一团特殊的分泌物，对经过或停留在分泌物上的敌人造成伤害和减速效果。

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

• R
  活体大炮

  克格莫发射一枚射程极远的活体炮弹，让被命中的敌人暴露在己方视野中，并对目标造成魔法伤害（对低血量目标的伤害会显著提升）。 在短时间内连续使用活体大炮，将消耗额外的法力值。

  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.
