Verdict: A close lane that leans Kog'Maw on paper (Miss Fortune wins 47.98%), but Miss Fortune's plan below claims 6 of the 7 windows: convert them and the stats catch up to you.

At a glance

Your lane DPS is his scaling tax — tap the duo, bounce the cover, and channel the 2v2 he can't unsubscribe from.

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.

Do

  • Tap-swap targets every trade
  • Q-bounce his low-minion cover
  • R off any support CC window

Don't

  • Channel R into open peel
  • Coast at even farm — the tax expires
  • Trade at his item court dates

How to beat Kog'Maw as Miss Fortune: the early game

Levels 1-2 you have the stronger base auto and Q harass while Kog'Maw is a farming turret with no W power spike yet — trade autos when he goes for a minion and use E to slow him if he tries to walk you down. He has no way to leave, so alternate targets, keep Love Tap firing, and let the bounce close the gap. Push the lane and take the plate. Make It Rain goes on his retreat rather than his approach, since the only thing that saves him early is his support arriving in time.
