Kog’maw Counter: Kog’maw is the marksman with a potent attack range higher than most marksmen and ranged characters in the entire game. This grants him extreme safety. He is meant to be a backline turret, dealing ton of damage, but dying quickly if you reach him. Behind a strong frontline, he is impossible to kill. After death, he can potentially still kill people with his bursty true damage.He is easy to use and simple to play as well. Missing any skillshots, or mistiming his high range-high damage auto-attacks also affects his damage output significantly. Kiting with Kog’maw is quite impractical until higher ranks which is the primary reason he requires a strong frontline and protectors to shield him through any danger.

Tips To Deal With Kog’maw Counter 8.19

1) Kog’maw does not have any escape abilities like a dash or a jump and neither does he have any movement speed granting abilities in his kit making him pretty immobile as an AD Carry. This makes him a very easy target to focus on and a good lane to gank. Try to focus him in teamfights due to his lack of mobility.

2) Run away from Kog’maw after killing him since his passive Icathian Surprise causes his corpse to deal true damage after a short period of time to nearby enemies and he will also be able to chase enemies with increasing movement speed up until the explosion.

3) Keep a lookout for when Kog’maw’s W/Bio-Arcane Barrage is down, since his range is reduced and also the damage he can dish out. So during this window of time, try to engage on him for a trade and in teamfights punish him for getting too close while it is down and catch him out if he is in a dangerous position.

4) Kog’maw’s Q/Caustic Spittle is a skillshot which reduces the resistances of the first target hit. So stand behind units to make it hard for him to launch it on you.
