The problem is many games don't go on for that long and most people would rather have the adc that can defend for themselves rather than the very fragile Kog'Maw.

When the whole balance of your team comp rides upon one player staying alive (in this case, Kog'Maw) the win condition becomes very clear and easy for the other team. Whereas if your throw Kog into a team of 2 or more carries he lacks a place in that team and throw off the balance of a good team composition.

This is why High elo and LCS players diss on Kog'Maw so much. When you're going against people who know your Ability Cooldowns to the decimal and capitalize on every opportunity given to them there becomes a lot of room for error when playing Kog'Maw.

A kog'maw needs to be lucky every time he fights. An Assassin only needs luck once.
