This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.

Shen has a lower difficulty than Kog'Maw. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Shen teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Fighting alongside, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by bringing Kog'Maw and Shen together, you will not be granting your team much magical damage output. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Shen ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
