Kog'Maw vs Ashe

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on (W) uptime: Kog'Maw wins extended trades and CS contests only while (W) is active.
Ashe controls short trades with (W) poke and slows, forcing Kog'Maw to respect spacing without support peel.
Kog'Maw needs calm waves near his tower to safely reach on-hit spikes and avoid Ashe's pick threat.

Trading pattern

Use (W) active windows to extend range and punish Ashe when she commits to last-hitting caster or cannon minions.
Step back immediately after punishing to avoid (W) slow and potential support counter-trade.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or (R) is available without your support peel ready.

Danger windows

(R) stun with support follow-up creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping forward without peel or cooldown advantage.
Trading into (W) slow chain without (W) active or support peel leaves Kog'Maw vulnerable to extended poke.
Overextending into brush or river control when Ashe's slows and (R) are ready risks quick pick and burst damage.

Early game

Hold the wave near your tower early to reduce (W) poke angles and last-hit safely.
Punish Ashe's last-hit on low-health caster minions during your (W) uptime if enemy support cannot zone.
Avoid stepping up when Ashe's support controls brush or threat zone, as her slows enable follow-up trades.

Power spikes

(W) active grants Kog'Maw extended range and DPS, enabling safe CS contest and trades; trade aggressively during this window.
First on-hit item spike lets Kog'Maw shred frontline and out-DPS Ashe in front-to-back fights; group with peel to leverage this.
Two on-hit items amplify Kog'Maw's hypercarry potential, turning fights heavily in his favor if protected.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by punishing Ashe's CS attempts during (W) uptime and avoid fights when it is down.
Convert health and CS leads into crashing waves for turret plates and dragon vision control before recalls.
Scale into late game with two on-hit items and rely on peel to maximize front-to-back DPS in teamfights.
