Kog'Maw vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on (W) uptime to contest Veigar's low early pressure and punish last hits.
Kog'Maw wins extended trades during (W) windows, while Veigar relies on cage (E) to zone or burst.
Hold wave near your side to limit Veigar's cage angles and build toward on-hit scaling safely.

Trading pattern

Punish Veigar's last-hit attempts with autos and (W) only if enemy support can't immediately counter.
Step back after punishing to avoid (E) cage setup or burst from (Q)+(W)+(R).
Use (E) slow to kite Veigar if he tries to engage after cage or when (W) uptime allows safer trades.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates a lethal all-in window; avoid stepping forward when (E) is ready.
Veigar's level 6 (R) burst combo punishes low-health targets caught in cage; respect this for defensive cooldowns.
Without (W) uptime or support peel, Kog'Maw is vulnerable to Veigar's poke and cage setups; reset spacing.

Early game

Use first three waves to farm under (W) range and punish Veigar stepping up for caster minions.
Avoid overextending before level 6 since (E) cage can lock you for burst.
Keep wave thinned to reduce Veigar's cage effectiveness and allow safe last-hit punishes.

Power spikes

When (W) is active, Kog'Maw gains extended range and DPS, enabling last-hit punishment and safer trades.
First on-hit item spike lets Kog'Maw shred Veigar and frontline, increasing threat in front-to-back fights.
Two on-hit items turn Kog'Maw into a hypercarry, forcing Veigar to respect your damage in teamfights.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by farming safely and punishing Veigar's CS attempts during (W) uptime.
Convert CS and health leads into crashing waves to pressure plates and secure dragon vision.
Reach two on-hit items and rely on support peel for front-to-back fights where Kog'Maw can shred safely.
