Guide to Countering Kog'Maw as Lissandra

Tips for Playing as Lissandra against Kog'Maw

Lissandra's abilities are shorter range than those of many mages. As a result, buying items that offer both ability power and defense, like Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil, can be a great choice to help her both survive and deal damage.

Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.

You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).

Advice to Win Against Kog'Maw

The range on Living Artillery increases each rank.

Run away from Kog'Maw after he dies!!!!

Kog'Maw doesn't have a good escape ability, so he is especially prone to ganks.

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.
