Kog'Maw vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Kog'Maw wins extended trades and scaling fights when (W) is active and peel is present.
The lane turns on punishing Hwei's CS attempts during (W) uptime and avoiding fights when (W) is down.

Trading pattern

Use (W) active windows to step forward and auto-attack Hwei when he commits to last hits, only if support peel is ready.
Back off immediately if enemy support controls brush or threatens to engage, dropping the CS punish window.
Apply (E) slow to kite and punish Hwei's approach when (W) is active, increasing your DPS window.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root or fear setup combined with support follow-up; avoid stepping into engage range.
Avoid trading when (W) is down, as your range and DPS drop sharply, making you vulnerable to burst.
Beware of enemy support controlling brush or river, enabling hard engage that bypasses your peel.

Early game

Hold the wave near your turret early to limit Hwei's poke angles and reduce his space control.
Punish Hwei's caster minion last-hit attempts during your (W) windows if enemy support cannot trade back.
Avoid pushing early waves without peel or vision to prevent forced all-ins from Hwei's crowd control.

Power spikes

(W) uptime is your main spike; trade and contest CS aggressively only during this window.
First on-hit item completion lets you shred frontline and extended trades; group and force fights where you can use (W) safely.
Two-item hypercarry spike turns fights heavily in your favor; position for front-to-back teamfights with peel.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by punishing Hwei's CS during (W) uptime and avoid forced fights when (W) is down.
Convert CS leads into item spikes to dominate front-to-back fights with peel and on-hit damage.
Use lane priority from safe farming to secure dragon vision and plates, enabling safer scaling and teamfight DPS access.
