This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kayn.

Is Kog'Maw better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Kog'Maw that will always be his top ally. Yet, overall, Kayn is a not very good ally for Kog'Maw. By locking into the same team as Kog'Maw, he decreases their win rate by -1.5% to 47.5%. This shows that there is a harmful bond between Kog'Maw and Kayn that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Kayn has a greater difficulty than Kog'Maw. That means you must be cautious when lining up Kayn allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by bringing Kog'Maw and Kayn together, you will not be giving your side very much AP. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Kayn ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
