Read from Draven's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kog'Maw.
This is Draven's own plan; across 2,445 pooled games the lane is leaning Kog'Maw.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Draven | Level 1 you out-trade an immobile Kog'Maw with no early damage while you juggle axes. |
| Level 2 | Draven | Level 2 W Blood Rush lets you stick to a champion whose only peel is his E slow. |
| Level 3 | Draven | Level 3 Q plus W makes every farm step a free all-in before his shred exists. |
| Levels 4-5 | Draven | Levels 4-5 your snowball crushes his farm plan in the only window you get. |
| Level 6 | Draven | Level 6 you win the face-to-face 2v2 since Living Artillery is poke, not a duel tool. |
| First item | Draven | First item Draven's Adoration gold lands your spike ahead of Kog'Maw's. |
| Two+ items | Kog'Maw | Two-plus items the lane flips: Kog'Maw's W true-damage shred and attack speed out-DPS you in a stand-up fight. |
Levels 1-2 are brutally yours: Kog'Maw has no mobility and no early trade while you juggle axes for heavy damage. W-close and Q-auto him at every last-hit, forcing him off the CS he desperately needs to reach his scaling. There is nothing here to bait, so play the axe economy rather than the fight: catch cleanly, never sacrifice a last-hit for a stack, and let his short range starve him. Keep Blood Rush for the moment his support steps up, since that is the only threat in the lane. Take plates over kills and the gold clock does the rest.
