Kog'Maw vs Caitlyn

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on (W) uptime to contest Caitlyn's superior base range.
Kog'Maw wins extended trades during (W) windows; Caitlyn controls lane with poke and traps.
Hold wave near your side to punish Caitlyn stepping up for CS and avoid her trap zones.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is active to gain range and shred Caitlyn's resistances.
Punish Caitlyn's last-hit animations with autos and (Q) when her support is not threatening.
Avoid stepping forward if (E) is available or her support controls brush or engage zones.

Danger windows

(E) cooldown down is a brief window to punish her lack of escape.
Avoid fighting when (W) is down; your range and damage drop sharply.
Respect enemy support positioning near brush or river that enables quick engages on you.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a stable wave near your tower and avoid pushing.
At level 2, punish Caitlyn's last hits only if your support can safely zone her.
Avoid stepping into low-health minions near brush where Caitlyn can trap or poke easily.

Power spikes

(W) uptime is your main spike; trade aggressively during this window for DPS advantage.
First on-hit item spike lets you shred Caitlyn and frontline, increasing your threat in fights.
Two on-hit items enable safe front-to-back fights; group with peel to maximize damage.

Win conditions

Survive early lane and farm safely to reach your on-hit item spikes.
Use (W) windows to contest plates and punish Caitlyn's CS attempts under turret.
Rely on support peel and positioning to enable your hypercarry DPS in late teamfights.

Tip: For Kog'Maw vs Caitlyn, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
