Read from Jinx's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kog'Maw.
This is Jinx's own plan; across 6,269 pooled games the lane is leaning Kog'Maw.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jinx | Level 1 favours Jinx: you out-range and push an immobile Kog before his W matters. |
| Level 2 | Jinx | Level 2 stays Jinx's as your poke and all-in threat grow on an escape-less target. |
| Level 3 | Jinx | Level 3 favours Jinx with support CC and Flame Chompers! landing freely on him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jinx | Level 4 remains Jinx's window as you deny farm and pressure his immobility. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5-6 evens out as Living Artillery gives Kog long-range poke to contest your zone. |
| First item | Jinx | At first item Jinx's crit spike keeps you ahead of Kog's own timing. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late is a skill matchup: a free-firing Kog can out-DPS you, so positioning decides it. |
Levels 1-4 are firmly Jinx-favoured. Kog'Maw is slow, immobile, and has no escape, and before his W range steroid matters your minigun and Q rockets out-poke and out-push him. Shove the wave, deny his farm, and set up all-ins, since Flame Chompers! and any support CC land freely on a target that can't dash away. Neither of you can leave, so the lane is decided by who is forced to stand where. Rocket the wave to keep it shoved and he has to farm under tower with the shortest range in the game. Zap goes on his step-up, Chompers behind him, and your support finishes what the range advantage started.
