Track: Kog'Maw's W — Bio-Arcane Barrage (17s cooldown). The range + shred window IS the champion — disengage for its eight seconds, fight the gaps.
Read from Corki's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kog'Maw.
This is Corki's own plan; across 475 pooled games the lane is leaning Kog'Maw.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Corki | Level 1 Corki out-laned Kog'Maw whose early game is among the weakest ADCs. |
| Level 2 | Corki | Level 2 you keep control, poking an immobile target off the wave. |
| Level 3 | Corki | Level 3 your Q and E shred an escape-less Kog'Maw in any trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Corki | Levels 4-5 stay yours as you deny his farm before item spikes. |
| Level 6 | Corki | Level 6 favours you: Missile Barrage adds poke and burst he can't answer. |
| First item | Corki | At first item your burst out-trades a Kog'Maw who needs three items to threaten. |
| Two+ items | Corki | With 2+ items you still win by forcing fights and bursting him before his DPS ramps. |
Levels 1-2 are already yours: Kog'Maw's early laning is among the weakest of all ADCs, so poke him with autos and set up to punish an immobile target from the first wave. He cannot leave, which means your Bomb and a Gatling cone are a full combo rather than an opener. Shove the first two waves, take the plate, and force him to farm under tower where his short range costs him gold. Hold Valkyrie for his support's engage, because that is the only way he ever gets a trade back.
