Statistical Matchup Analysis

Ashe maintains steady 6.8% popularity but rarely encounters niche pick Kog'Maw (2.1%, 23rd place out of 32 ADC champions). While not a priority matchup to study, understanding it protects against off-meta cheese picks that can catch you unprepared. Optimize for consistency: Press the Attack paired with Triumph (50.3% win rate, 5.4% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Kraken Slayer > Phantom Dancer > Bloodthirster with Berserker's Greaves delivers 59.4% win rate against Kog'Maw.

Lane dominance: Ashe not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (7.02/min vs 6.73 for Kog'Maw). This 0.29 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Ashe wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (735 vs 1073/min), the 52.3% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Statistical dominance: Ashe leads in both matchup win rate (52.3%) and KDA (2.30 vs 2.20) - complete superiority across all metrics.

How to Beat Kog'Maw as Ashe (ADC)

The Ashe versus Kog'Maw matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Ashe deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Kog'Maw has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Ashe is higher farming statistics (ranked 12th among role champions) (versus 19th for Kog'Maw), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ashe ADC versus Kog'Maw ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ashe player to maintain constant pressure on Kog'Maw, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Ashe tips:

  • Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.
  • Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.
  • Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.

Playing Against Kog'Maw

  • Kog'Maw doesn't have a good escape ability, so he is especially prone to ganks.
  • Run away from Kog'Maw after he dies!!!!
  • The range on Living Artillery increases each rank.
  • Bio-Arcane Barrage allows Kog'Maw to kill Baron Nashor extremely early. It can be valuable to ward Nashor when Kog'Maw completes his Blade of the Ruined King.
