| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L1: turret and grenade out-trade the immobile, weak-early Kog'Maw. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L2: compounding poke denies the safe farm he needs to scale. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L3: the E-Q combo punishes his total lack of mobility. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L4-5: turret siege starves his CS and delays his item spikes. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L6: beam UPGRADE and doubled grenade zone him off the wave despite his Artillery. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | You-favoured first item: continued siege delays his two-item Bio-Arcane spike. |
| Two+ items | Kog'Maw | Kog'Maw-favoured 2+ items: W percent-health shred out-DPSes your immobile turret nest. |
Heimerdinger dominates levels 1-2: Kog'Maw has no mobility and a weak early game, so your turret and grenade out-trade him and deny the safe farm his whole scaling plan depends on.
