Kog'Maw Mid, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Kog'Maw's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Kog'Maw is an AD carry in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 52.4% win rate, 0.3% pick rate, 3,478 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Kog'Maw is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
