How to Use Kog'Maw Counter Data

Everything on this page — who beats Kog’Maw and who Kog’Maw beats — is computed from live ranked matchup data for ADC. The toughest lane opponents at the moment are Hwei, Ziggs, Seraphine: against them Kog’Maw posts its lowest win rates in the current data set. The single strongest counter is Hwei, where Kog’Maw wins just 40.9% of 132 recorded games. On the flip side, Kog’Maw performs well into Varus, Mel, Vayne, making them safer picks to face.

Each card shows the win rate from Kog’Maw’s perspective and the number of games behind it — a matchup with tens of thousands of games is far more trustworthy than one with a few hundred. The Easy/Even/Hard labels are computed from those win rates (below 48% reads as Hard, above 52% as Easy); they are a reading aid, not a separate source stat. Data comes from ranked games at Emerald rank and above across all regions, currently on patch 16.13.1, and refreshes automatically every 48 hours, so the numbers move with the meta. Counters are only half the picture: check the current Kog’Maw build for the strongest items and runes, or the Kog’Maw champion page for abilities and full details.
