Kog'Maw - Zap'Maw
Kog'Maw (Zap'Maw)
Cost: 1350 RP | Release Date: August 10, 2012
Kog'Maw, the Voidborn terror, has always been a fearsome sight on the Summoner's Rift. With his insatiable hunger and deadly attacks, he strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies. However, there is one skin that takes his terrifying presence to a whole new level - Zap'Maw. This electrifying skin was released on August 10, 2012, and has since become a favorite among Kog'Maw enthusiasts.
Zap'Maw transforms Kog'Maw into a living lightning bolt, crackling with energy and ready to unleash devastating attacks. This skin gives Kog'Maw a complete visual overhaul, replacing his usual organic appearance with a metallic, robotic design. His body is adorned with glowing blue circuitry, and his eyes emit a menacing electric glow. With each step, he leaves behind a trail of electrified footprints, adding to his electrifying presence on the battlefield.
Not only does Zap'Maw change Kog'Maw's appearance, but it also alters his abilities and animations. His basic attacks now shoot out bolts of lightning, crackling with power as they strike his enemies. His Q ability, Caustic Spittle, transforms into a powerful electric shock, leaving enemies stunned and vulnerable. His W ability, Bio-Arcane Barrage, channels electricity through his body, increasing his attack range and dealing bonus magic damage. His E ability, Void Ooze, becomes an electrified puddle that slows and damages enemies caught in its path. Finally, his ultimate ability, Living Artillery, rains down bolts of lightning from the sky, obliterating anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in its path.
Kog'Maw's story in League of Legends is as fascinating as his appearance. He is a Voidborn creature, hailing from a dimension of pure chaos and darkness. The Void is a terrifying place, filled with unimaginable horrors, and Kog'Maw is one of its most dangerous inhabitants. He was sent to Runeterra, the world of League of Legends, to wreak havoc and consume everything in his path.
In the game, Kog'Maw is classified as a marksman, specializing in dealing massive amounts of damage from a distance. His strengths lie in his ability to shred through tanks and melt squishy targets with his powerful attacks. His W ability, Bio-Arcane Barrage, allows him to deal a percentage of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage, making him a formidable threat to even the tankiest of champions. Additionally, his ultimate ability, Living Artillery, has a global range, allowing him to snipe enemies from afar and finish off low-health targets.
However, Kog'Maw also has his weaknesses. He is incredibly squishy and lacks mobility, making him an easy target for assassins and champions with high burst damage. Without proper positioning and protection from his team, Kog'Maw can quickly be taken down. Additionally, his abilities have high mana costs, requiring careful resource management to maximize his damage output.
Despite his weaknesses, Kog'Maw has found his place in the game as a late-game hyper carry. With the right support and protection, he can become an unstoppable force, decimating entire teams with his relentless onslaught. His ability to shred through tanks and deal massive damage from a safe distance makes him a valuable asset in team fights and sieges.

Lore:
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.
Ally tips:
Kog'Maw can outrange most champions with his Bio-Arcane Barrage ability. Use Void Ooze to set up a perfect Living Artillery. Make the most out of your Icathian Surprise.
Enemy tips:
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.
