Overall, Zoe sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kog'Maw. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Kog'Maw.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Kog'Maw?

There is no top champion pairing for Zoe that will 100% of the time be her #1 synergy. However, Kog'Maw is a terrible ally for Zoe. By locking into the same side as Zoe, he decreases their win rate by -4.6% to 42.4%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Zoe and Kog'Maw that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Kog'Maw has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means you should be very careful when lining up Kog'Maw allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by pairing Zoe and Kog'Maw together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a lot of crowd control. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Kog'Maw teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
