Kog'Maw vs Jinx

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on (W) uptime for range and DPS advantage against Jinx's poke.
Kog'Maw wins extended trades during (W) windows; Jinx controls grouped poke and reset fights.
Hold wave near your side to punish Jinx's last hits and delay her item spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is active to extend range and shred Jinx safely.
Step forward to auto Jinx during her last-hit animations if enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (E) slow to kite and punish Jinx's approach paths, especially when her (E) root is down.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (W) is down; Kog'Maw's range and DPS drop sharply.
Respect (E) root combined with enemy support engage; do not step into trap zones.
Beware of enemy support controlling brush or river, denying safe punish windows.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a freeze near your tower and deny Jinx easy CS.
Punish Jinx stepping up for caster minions during your (W) uptime if enemy support is out of position.
Avoid pushing early as Jinx's rocket poke punishes overextensions without peel or vision.

Power spikes

(W) active: Enables safe trades and CS contest; fight only during this uptime.
First on-hit item: Amplifies DPS, allowing Kog'Maw to pressure Jinx and frontline tanks.
Two-item spike: Front-to-back fights heavily favor Kog'Maw if peel is present; group and force objectives.

Win conditions

Survive early lane and punish Jinx's last hits during (W) uptime to build CS leads.
Use health and item leads to crash waves for turret plates and dragon control.
Rely on peel and (W) range to shred enemies in late front-to-back fights and objective skirmishes.

Tip: For Kog'Maw vs Jinx, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
