Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Kog'Maw can outrange most champions with his Bio-Arcane Barrage ability.
  • Use Void Ooze to set up a perfect Living artillery.
  • Make the most out of your Icathian Surprise.

Playing against

  • Kog'Maw doesn't have a good escape ability, so he is especially prone to ganks.
  • Run away from Kog'Maw after he dies!!!!
  • The range on Living Artillery increases each rank.
  • Bio-Arcane Barrage allows Kog'Maw to kill Baron Nashor extremely early. It can be valuable to ward Nashor when Kog'Maw completes his Blade of the Ruined King.
