Who Wins
- You're slightly behind pre-6 due to Brand's superior poke and burst potential, but post-6 your R provides excellent disengage against Nilah while your sustain keeps Kog'Maw healthy.
- The matchup becomes more favorable as the game progresses due to your utility scaling.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E on Kog'Maw for enhanced auto attacks, then follow with W bounces for sustain and damage - save Q for when Nilah tries to engage.
- Your trading pattern revolves around empowering Kog'Maw's range advantage while providing sustain against Brand's poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Kog'Maw has wave control and Brand/Nilah are low on mana or abilities, typically after successful trades or when they recall.
- Your roam timings should align with mid lane skirmishes or jungle invades where your CC and sustain provide maximum value.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions or use it predictably, as it's your primary tool against Nilah's engages.
- Avoid overhealing when enemies aren't threatening, as mana management is crucial for maintaining lane presence against their poke.
