Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Xayah, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Xayah wins 56.5% of 46 games (95% range 42.2–69.8%).
  • Both champions' overall Bot win rates predict 46.6% for Xayah; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 25, within the margin of error (44 games).
  • Xayah players pick Mortal Reminder far more often against Kog'Maw: 12.1% of their other Bot games, 26.1% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Xayah and Kog'Maw played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Xayah's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

What Xayah Changes Against Kog'Maw

Choices Xayah players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Bot games.

Best Xayah Build vs Kog'Maw

Usual Xayah build (Bot)

65.8% win rate · 158 games

Against Kog'Maw

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 6 of 31 Xayah games against Kog'Maw carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Xayah's standard build instead.

  • Xayah usually completes Yun Tal Wildarrows first, at 11.4 min (median of 28 games).
  • Kog'Maw usually completes Guinsoo's Rageblade first, at 12.7 min (median of 24 games).
  • Skill priority: E > W > Q — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
