Kog'Maw vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on (W) uptime to contest CS and extended trades against Sivir's shorter auto range.
Kog'Maw wins extended fights with (W) active and peel, while Sivir controls waveclear and (E) windows.
Hold wave near your side to punish Sivir's last hits during (W) and avoid her (W) poke angles.

Trading pattern

Punish Sivir stepping up for caster minion last hits only when (W) is active and enemy support can't trade back.
Use (E) slow to kite Sivir if she tries to engage after her (E) is down or support is out of position.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or (E) is available, as her (W) and dash counter your damage window.

Danger windows

Respect (E) timing; engaging while it's up wastes your damage and opens you to counter-trades.
Avoid stepping forward when enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow your punish.
Be cautious when (W) is down, as you lose your range advantage and become vulnerable to Sivir's poke and engage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a stable wave near your tower, denying Sivir easy (W) angles.
Track (E) and punish her last-hit attempts when it's down and support can't zone.
Avoid pushing early without peel to reduce (W) poke and (R) engage follow-up threat.

Power spikes

(W) uptime is your main spike; trade and contest CS aggressively during this window to build advantage.
First on-hit item spike lets you shred Sivir and frontline better; group with peel to force fights.
Two-item hypercarry power spike enables front-to-back fights where you out-DPS Sivir if protected well.

Win conditions

Survive lane with solid CS by punishing Sivir's last-hit attempts during (W) uptime and support cooldowns.
Convert CS leads into turret plates and dragon control by crashing waves when (W) is active.
Scale into late game where your on-hit DPS and peel enable front-to-back fights that outlast Sivir's teamfight utility.
