Kog'Maw vs Corki

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on (W) uptime to contest Corki's poke and CS safely.
Kog'Maw wins extended trades with (W) active and support peel, while Corki pressures with poke and mobility.
Hold stable waves near your side to deny Corki dash windows and force him to farm under pressure.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Corki when he commits to last-hitting low-health minions during your (W) window if support can't punish.
Avoid trades when (W) is down or (W) is available to escape or counter-engage.
Use (E) slow to kite Corki when he tries to close distance after his (W) dash is down.

Danger windows

(W) dash is up: avoid overextending as he can reposition or escape trades.
When (W) is down and support peel is unavailable, Kog'Maw is vulnerable to Corki's poke and engage.
Avoid stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Corki's poke combos become lethal.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm patiently, avoiding trades without (W) active.
Punish Corki's last-hit attempts on caster minions when (W) is up and enemy support is out of position.
Hold wave near your turret side to reduce (W) reposition and poke angles early.

Power spikes

(W) active: enables Kog'Maw's real trading range and DPS, punish Corki's CS attempts aggressively.
First on-hit item: turn extended fights into tank-shred windows if your support can peel.
Two on-hit items: front-to-back fights heavily favor Kog'Maw; force objectives where enemies must walk into (W) range.

Win conditions

Survive early lane without losing plates, then use (W) uptime to punish Corki's CS and force recalls.
Convert CS leads into item spikes to dominate front-to-back fights with support peel.
Use stable wave states near your turret to secure dragon control and safely scale into late-game hypercarry DPS.
