Kog'maw
Kog’maw is a vile creature with a piercing and gaping mouth, brimming with raw curiosity. He was spewed forth from a rotting Void in the wastelands of Icathia.
Kog’maw is a unique Void spawnling as he needs to gnaw and drool on anything within his reach to understand it.
Although Kog’maw isn’t inherently evil, his beguiling naiveté can be murderous, as he often precedes a feeding frenzy to satisfy his unending curiosity.
ABILITIES
Who is Kog'maw?
In a run-down ruin in Icathia, a Void spawnling known as Kog’maw journeyed to Valoran with brimming curiosity.
The desire which pushed him to explore Runeterra teased him continuously, encouraging him to familiarize himself with his surroundings.
Kog’maw got intoxicated by the stunning colors and aromas of Runeterra, exploring the fruits of the strange world by devouring them.
Initially, Kog’maw only sampled the wild flora and fauna he came across during his journey.
However, as Kog’maw traveled the Tempest Flats, he came upon a tribe of mortal nomads. He then consumed every nomad and any obstacle in his way, amounting to multiple times his tiny mass and volume.
When Kog’maw’s wake of the catastrophe reached the Institute of War, Malzahar greeted him with an exciting prospect—taste the best Runeterra could offer—on the Field of Justice.
Kog'maw's Skills and abilities
Kog’maw is a marksman class champion, so you need to be careful when facing enemy champions since he can be fragile and squishy. Master Kog’maw’s long-range playstyle to help bring your team to victory with ease.
Let’s take a look at Kog’maw’s skills and abilities:
Icathian Surprise: This passive skill allows Kog’maw to move for four seconds and become unable to cast abilities, summoner spells, activate items or perform basic attacks. He also becomes invulnerable, non-targetable, and immune to crowd control. At the end of the duration, Kog’maw explodes, inflicting 125 to 550 “true” damage to nearby enemy units.
Caustic Spittle:
Passive: This skill’s passive effect allows Kog’maw to gain bonus attack speed throughout the game.
Active: When casting Caustic Spittle, Kog’maw will launch a corrosive ball of spit in a straight line toward a target direction, inflicting magic damage to the first enemy unit it hits.
Caustic Spittle can reduce enemy units’ armor and magic resistance for 4 seconds.
Bio-Arcane Barrage: When activated, Bio-Arcane Barrage lets Kog’maw empower his basic attacks for the next eight seconds. Additionally, the skill grants Kog’maw a bonus attack range and bonus magic damage on-hit.
The damage is capped at 100 against enemy minions and monsters.
Void Ooze: When casting Void Ooze, Kog’maw will spew a ball of ooze in a target location, inflicting magic damage to enemy units within its path. Additionally, a field of ooze is left along the ball’s path for 4 seconds, slowing all enemy units caught every 0.25 seconds.
Living Artillery: When activated, Living Artillery lets Kog’maw launch a ball of acid into the air, dropping it to a target location after 0.6 seconds. This skill grants Kog’maw sight of the same area before dealing magic damage to enemy units upon impact by the acid ball.
The damage increases up to 0% to 50%, depending on the target’s missing health and revealing them for 2 seconds.
Living Artillery’s damage gets doubled against enemy units that are below 40% of their maximum health. All subsequent casts of Living Artillery within the next eight seconds can cost an additional 40 mana.
The damage gets capped around 400 per cast and refreshes the duration per cast.
