W (Bio-Arcane Barrage) gives massive range and % max HP damage — activate it before fighting and auto from range.

Your R (Living Artillery) costs more and more mana per consecutive use — don't spam it, use it to finish.

Kog'Maw scales exceptionally well — play safe early and farm for your items. You're one of the best hypercarries.

E (Void Ooze) slows in a line — use it to self-peel when an enemy charges at you.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Kog'Maw has ZERO mobility — dive him with assassins or engages. One CC = one kill.

His W has an uptime/downtime: when W expires, his range returns to normal (500). Engage at that moment.

Assassins (Zed, Talon, Fizz) destroy him — he relies entirely on his team to protect him.

Buy HP and MR: his W deals magic damage as % max HP, but MR still reduces it.
