This change may demonstrate that Kog'Maw does not help cover for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Gnar is played with Kog'Maw on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Kog'Maw.
Moreover, when Gnar plays with Kog'Maw on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Kog'Maw does a decent job of covering Gnar during team fights.

Kog'Maw has a lower difficulty than Gnar. That means Gnar players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Kog'Maw comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Gnar players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by bringing Gnar and Kog'Maw together, you will not be providing your side very much cover. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Kog'Maw ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
