Kog'Maw vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

The lane turns on (W) uptime to punish Jhin's low mobility and last-hit approach.
Kog'Maw wins extended trades during (W) windows; Jhin pressures short trades with fourth shot and (W) root.
Hold wave near your side to safely scale and avoid Jhin's poke and root setups.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is active to extend range and DPS beyond Jhin's short burst trades.
Step forward to punish Jhin's last-hit animations if enemy support is out of position or cooldowns are down.
Avoid trading when Jhin holds fourth shot or (W) root is primed without allied peel available.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot ready state; avoid stepping up for CS under root or trap threat.
Avoid trading when (W) is set on marked targets or support controls brush and engage zones.
Beware of (R) after fights or during recalls; avoid predictable retreat paths through river or dragon.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely and avoid stepping up when Jhin's fourth shot is ready.
Punish Jhin's last hits only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back or zone you.
Watch for low-health minions to avoid giving Jhin clean (Q) bounce angles onto you.

Power spikes

(W) uptime is your main spike; contest CS and trades aggressively during this window.
First on-hit item spike lets you shred frontline and survive extended fights with peel.
Two on-hit items enable dominant front-to-back fights; group with peel and force objectives.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by farming and trading only during (W) uptime to reach on-hit item spikes.
Convert CS leads into plate damage and dragon control by crashing waves with peel support.
Use (W) range and peel in teamfights to shred frontline and secure front-to-back DPS windows.
