| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Caitlyn | Your range and headshot passive crush immobile Kog'Maw at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Caitlyn | At level 2 his short base range still can't contest your poke or last-hits. |
| Level 3 | Caitlyn | Q and traps zone his farm and deny his early scaling. |
| Levels 4-5 | Caitlyn | Through 4-5 you out-shove and dive his no-escape frame freely. |
| Level 6 | Caitlyn | Living Artillery drains his mana and can't beat your spaced all-in at 6. |
| First item | Caitlyn | Your first-item tempo out-trades him before Bio-Arcane Barrage online. |
| Two+ items | Kog'Maw | Late, Kog'Maw's W on-hit range and shred out-DPS you once he hits two-plus items. |
You dominate early Kog'Maw: he is immobile with short range and your 650 auto plus headshot passive win every trade and last-hit at level 1-2. Punish his walk-ups hard and keep him from a comfortable start before his scaling comes online.
