Leona
Make sure you hit 2 before her by pushing your lane level 1. When she hits 2 she will have EQ combo so make sure to be ready for that. Late game make sure to know where Leona is and don't clump up with your team or be ready to get Solar Flared. rip x2
Introduction
Kog'Maw is an alien that spits out dead babies!!!
Decent passive, but it doesn't help you while you're alive. It may seem to not synergize with Kog'Maw as he's a champion who shouldn't be dying, but it can still be helpful. Icathian Surprise is one of the few sources of true AoE damage in the game, this passive allows for revenge kills, or getting yourself some assists in a team fight if you happen to be killed.
Caustic Spittle (Q)
This ability is one of Kog'Maw steroids. Unlike some other steroids, this is constantly there with the passive. You won't be able to use the active very often in team fights. Helpful when killing the tank who jumped on you with your team.
Bio-Arcane Barrage (W)
This is the main power of Kog'Maw. Bio-Arcane Barrage is the strongest ability in Kog'Maw kit. This ability brings his range up to 710. Bio-Arcane Barrage allows Kog'Maw to be able to shred anyone, even tanks. Be careful when you activate it though. The cooldown is a 9 seconds, leaving you vulnerable.
Void Ooze (E)
This is Kog'Maw defensive ability. It can provide quite a bit of utility in lane and team fights. Anyone standing on this slow is open to a lot of damage from your auto attacks and teammates. In a defensive way, you can use this is someone's chasing you. If you land the slow on someone, youuse your Living Artillery to poke them down.
Living Artillery (R)
Early to mid game, the damage is good for poking enemies. If you Void Ooze, and activate Bio-Arcane Barrage then hit them with Living Artillery, it can chunk them quite a bit. Late game, the damage is reduced a bit due to the enemy team having magic resist. However, all throughout the game, it's useful to scout and poking poeple down. Remember that the mana costs stack, so make sure not to spam it or you'll find yourself OOM.
Death Sentence and Flay combo with keep them cc'd long enough for you to melt them down.
Zenith Blade and Shield of Daybreak keep them cc'd for you to melt them also
if you think you are going to lose lane Nami is a great idea for your support to go because of her sustain with Ebb and Flow
People with hard cc or sustain are good with Kog'Maw
+ Super Lategame adc
+ Ultimate Tank Shredding
+ Tons of damage
Long range with Bio-Arcane Barrage
Cons-
No escape except for Flash.
Weak until core Trinity Force Blade of the Ruined King.
Low mobility
Farming is really important with Kog'Maw, try to get the core items as fast as you can and you will dominate, if you are doing bad in lane or getting harassed i recommend going Bork first to make it easier for you to farm. Farm with Bio-Arcane Barrage if you have too!
Goal: Farm for Trinity Force and Blade of the Ruined King.
Goal: Teamfights, objectives or farm more.
Goal: End, team fight, get peel, baron, inhibs!
