Kog'Maw the Mouth of the Abyss
Belched forth from a rotting Void incursion deep in the wastelands of Icathia, Kog'Maw is an inquisitive yet putrid creature with a caustic, gaping mouth. This particular Void-spawn needs to gnaw and drool on anything within reach to truly understand it. Though not inherently evil, Kog'Maw's beguiling naiveté is dangerous, as it often precedes a feeding frenzy—not for sustenance, but to satisfy its unending curiosity.
Icathian Surprise
4 seconds after dying, Kogmaw explodes, dealing true damage to surrounding enemies.

MetaBot Tips

- Kog'Maw has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Kog'Maw has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- Kog'Maw has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Kog'Maw has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Kog'Maw has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Kog'Maw has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
- Kog'Maw has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.
