The advantage Kog has over Xerath in terms of mageiness (?) is that he spikes much harder and earlier than Xerath (all you need is a Ludens and a Tear for mana sustain and you start destroying people, while Xerath needs 3 or 4 items to really get going). Kog'Maw also doesn't suffer from a self-slow when using his main damage spell and has just about as much mobility as Xerath. And because of how hard he spikes with Luden's, he can lose lane and do just fine, while a behind Xerath just does nothing since he can't farm up well enough to get enough items to get rolling. I honestly think Kog'Maw is better than Xerath for the moment.
