How to win lane as Kog'Maw against Lucian · 54.9% win rate over 1,827 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian's Passive double-shot and Q poke dominate the level 1 trade before you have any tools. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | At level 2 his early Q or W lets him win the all-in for first blood pressure. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Level 3 gives Lucian his full Q-W-E kit to dash, poke, and shove while you have no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Through levels 4-5 Lucian keeps the mobility and burst edge over your immobile, short-range body. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | Lucian's level 6 Culling plus Relentless Pursuit is a real kill combo where your ult only pokes. |
| First item | Lucian | At one item Lucian still front-loads more burst than your on-hit ramp has yet delivered. |
| Two+ items | Kog'Maw | By two-plus items your stacked W range, attack speed, and %HP shredding finally out-scale Lucian. |
Respect Lucian at levels 1-2: his Passive double-tap and Q make every trade favour him, so last-hit at max range, hug your caster minions, and never walk up for a CS without vision of his E. Take the safe farm and concede the shove.
