Original
24.06.2010
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.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

League of Legends Wiki | Champions
League of Legends content
Attack windup
The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content
Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

League of Legends content
Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content
Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content
Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content
Selection height
A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content
Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

  • Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
  • Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

League of Legends content
Bottom
Within a drafted team, the Bottom Carry is one of the two champions assigned to the bottom lane alongside the Support. Being the most vulnerable, the Bottom Carry has to acquire as much gold as possible to purchase key items that will greatly increase their fighting potential.

Within a duo lane, the optimal strategy for earning gold is to designate a single champion to farm while the other is recommended to purchase an economy item. The Bottom Carry is expected to fulfill the former designation: the position is made for champions that highly depend on item-based power spikes.

Marksmen are the most likely champions to be selected in the Bottom Carry position.

League of Legends content
Marksman

Marksmen (formerly "Carries") excel at dealing reliable sustained damage at range (usually through basic attacks) while constantly skirting the edge of danger. Although Marksmen have the ability to stay relatively safe by kiting their foes, they are very fragile and are extremely reliant on powerful item purchases to become true damage threats.

At present, Marksmen do not have any official subclasses. The following have been considered:

  • Demolisher
  • Scrapper
Examples

Marksman (Legacy)
Marksman (formerly known as 'Carry') excel at dealing reliable sustained damage at range (usually through basic attacks) while constantly skirting the edge of danger.
League of Legends content
Mage (Legacy)

Mages are offensive casters that seek to cripple and burn down the opposition through their potent spells.

League of Legends content
Mana

 Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.

Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.

League of Legends content
Ranged

Ranged champions have a basic attack  range usually beyond 300 units. Many deal damage through projectiles, which are subject to mitigating effects like An icon for Yasuo's ability Wind Wall Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for ranged characters.

League of Legends content
Centered range

Centered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.

  • Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
  • It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.
League of Legends content
Death
Death occurs when a unit's  health is reduced to zero, thereby being killed. The unit can no longer act and is removed or becomes a corpse.

On player death, they can view the death recap and the shop to purchase items, and some item actives can be used while dead.

League of Legends content
Untargetable
A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content
Zombie state
A buff that allows a player to keep controlling their champion after Death always flags the champion to be in a zombie state. It prevents enemies from gaining full kill credit or triggering most on-kill effects from the champion a second time, and some abilities (e.g. An icon for Yuumi's ability You and Me! You and Me!) interact differently with champions in this state. An icon representing Renata Glasc Renata Glasc's An icon for Renata Glasc's ability Bailout Bailout and Resurrection will always take precedence over zombie state effects.

The following effects trigger a champion to enter a zombie state:

League of Legends content
Ghosted

A unit that is ghosted ignores unit collision, allowing them to move through other units and other units to move through them.

League of Legends content
Invulnerability

A unit that is Invulnerable reduces all damage taken to 0 and prevents effects that trigger from damage.

League of Legends content
Cc-Immune

Crowd control immunity prevents any type of crowd control from being applied to the unit. CC which has already been applied will still have an effect on the unit. Epic monsters (excluding a summoned An icon representing Rift Herald Rift Herald) and turrets are always immune to all crowd control, with the exception of stasis.

League of Legends content
Area damage

Area damage is the damage type dealt by most area of effect abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Area damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.

Effects triggered by damage subtypes will occur (i.e. physical, magic or true).

League of Legends content
True damage
League of Legends content
Untargetable
A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content
Homing projectile destruction
Destroying or popping of a projectile references an effect that destroys all homing missiles currently targeting a specific unit, such as ranged projectile-based basic attacks. Destroyed missiles will do the same thing as if they were destroyed by An icon for Yasuo's ability Wind Wall Wind Wall or An icon for Samira's ability Blade Whirl Blade Whirl (usually vanishing without any effect).

The following abilities perform one or more projectile popping events:

League of Legends content
Projectile

A projectile or missile is any entity not classified as a unit ( champion, minion, monster, etc.) that travels at any given velocity.

League of Legends content
Nexus Obelisk

The Nexus Obelisk, (or Fountain Laser), is a turret that deals tons of damage, bypassing survival tools such as invulnerability and resurrection. A Nexus Obelisk presides over each team's spawn platform on most maps.

League of Legends content
Raw damage
Raw damage is a type of damage that normally ignores resistances, shields, and minimum health threshold and resurrection effects on the target. Invulnerability and spell shields, where applicable, are the only ways to reduce or negate raw damage. Champion-sources of raw damage against an enemy always deal more than 100% of the target's  current health ("execution damage").
All champion-sources of raw damage are currently special-cased to respect death-protection effects: resurrection will activate, and units with a minimum health threshold are left at 1 health rather than the threshold, when dealt lethal raw damage.

Raw damage does not interact with any effect.
Internal raw damage is a form of raw damage that also bypasses invulnerability and has no overrides in place to prevent it from killing death-protected champions. The Nexus Obelisk, An icon representing Zac Zac's An icon for Zac's ability Cell Division Cell Division redirected damage, and An icon representing Rift Herald Rift Herald's self-damage also have this modified form.

League of Legends content
Resurrection
A unit that is protected by Resurrection will enter a revival state and dispel most debuffs upon taking fatal damage. After the state completes, the unit is revived. Resurrection effects do not count for kills or assists.

Resurrection sources have a hierarchy, and will trigger in the following order:

  1. An icon representing Zilean Zilean's An icon for Zilean's ability Chronoshift Chronoshift
  2. An icon for the item Guardian Angel Guardian Angel
  3. An icon representing Anivia Anivia's An icon for Anivia's ability Rebirth Rebirth and An icon representing Zac Zac's An icon for Zac's ability Cell Division Cell Division
Resurrection will always take precedence over zombie state effects. Entering resurrection does not cancel cast times. An icon representing Renata Glasc Renata Glasc's An icon for Renata Glasc's ability Bailout Bailout always takes priority over resurrection.

League of Legends content

An ally can grab the lantern to dash to Thresh and gain the shield, but cannot do so while immobilized, grounded, or silenced.
League of Legends content
Gate

Gates are map elements that offer transit.

Champions can interact with a gate to channel for 0.75 seconds. Upon completing the channel, they dash to the other side of the gate over 2.25 seconds, becoming untargetable during the travel. Each route has a 30-second cooldown per champion.

They may choose a location to dash again up to a distance from the gate, though not through terrain. Champions taking gates will always blink to their designated location, even when the dash is stopped.
