Kog'Maw is the scaling carry a Protect shell exists to keep alive. Enough Siege sits in the kit to lean on range between objectives. Passive (Icathian Surprise): on death he doesn't die immediately — enters a 4s ghosted zombie state with invulnerability and CC immunity, then explodes for true damage in a 400-range radius, but cannot attack or cast during it.

W (Bio-Arcane Barrage) extends his attack range for 8s and adds max-HP-scaling magic on-hit, letting him kite from further away and shred tanks
R (Living Artillery) has global range and scales off missing HP with a bonus multiplier below 40% HP, making him a strong execute/finisher on top of his auto-attack DPS

Duo playbook

+ Lulu (Bot/Support)
Lulu's shield and speed boost cover Kog'Maw's total lack of hard CC and gap closer, letting his high, safe DPS window (his outranging W) actually survive into the late game instead of getting dove down.
