Ashe vs Kog'Maw

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ashe wins short trades by using slows and poke to punish Kog'Maw's forced CS steps.
Control the wave near your side to leverage auto slow and deny Kog'Maw free farm.
Kog'Maw scales harder in extended fights; use (R) and support follow-up to pick before he powers up.

Trading pattern

Punish Kog'Maw when he last-hits inside your auto range and his support can't immediately trade back.
Use (W) to slow Kog'Maw before he reaches you, then follow with autos for extended poke.
Avoid trading when (W) is active and he has peel; reset spacing until it expires.

Danger windows

Kog'Maw is dangerous when (W) is up and his support can peel; avoid stepping forward then.
Avoid standing near low-health minions when (R) can execute poke from afar.
Do not engage without (R) ready if enemy support threatens immediate counter-engage or hard CC.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave just outside enemy tower and punish Kog'Maw's last hits.
Step forward to auto or (W) poke when Kog'Maw commits to low-health caster or cannon minions.
Avoid overextending if enemy support controls brush or threat zone; give up last-hit punish windows then.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range pick; use it when support or jungle can follow for kills.
First completed marksman item boosts your sustained poke and slow pressure; take longer trades cautiously.
(W) active windows increase his range and DPS; avoid extended fights during these times.

Win conditions

Convert poke and slows into CS leads by punishing Kog'Maw's forced last hits near your range.
Use (R) pick threat to force Kog'Maw under tower and secure turret plates or dragon control.
Scale into mid-game utility DPS role by denying Kog'Maw free farm and enabling teamfight picks with slows.
