Kog'Maw Counter Build Advice
When facing Kog'Maw's top counters like Xayah, Ziggs, Jinx, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize armor items against AD-heavy counter picks in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Focus on completing your core damage items before heavily investing in defensive situational items, as Kog'Maw needs sufficient damage to remain a threat in counter matchups. Adapt your final build slots with items like Wit's End or Jak'Sho, The Protean based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Kog'Maw performance.
