This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Kog'Maw.

Is Brand better when played alongside Kog'Maw?

There is no perfect companion for Brand that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Kog'Maw is a very typical ally for Brand. By locking into the same team as Brand, he drops their win rate by -0.4% to 51.0%. This shows that there is a weak bond between Brand and Kog'Maw that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Kog'Maw has a greater difficulty than Brand. That means you must be careful when enlisting Kog'Maw allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing alongside, Brand players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Brand and Kog'Maw together, you may not be granting your side a great deal of cover. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their potential.

Regardless of your Kog'Maw ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
