Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 2v2s through superior range advantage over Kog'Maw and Tahm Kench's sustain negating Pyke's poke attempts.
  • Post-6 you maintain advantage with R displacement to interrupt Kog'Maw's W positioning and escape Pyke's R execute range.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use your range advantage to poke Kog'Maw when he steps up for CS, then look for E-W all-ins when Pyke misses Q hook or uses abilities on minions.
  • Your best trades come from placing E bomb then using W to gap close for the explosion damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push waves aggressively early to establish range control and force Kog'Maw to farm under tower where he's more vulnerable to poke.
  • Maintain wave priority to enable Tahm Kench roams or prevent Pyke from roaming freely.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't W aggressively into Pyke's E range without tracking his cooldowns, as his stun can set up easy ganks or Kog'Maw damage.
  • Avoid extended trades against Kog'Maw's W when he has Pyke's crowd control backup, as his DPS will outdamage your burst.
