When playing alongside, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Kayn and Kog'Maw together, you will not be providing your other teammates much magic damage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Kog'Maw ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
