The harder you punch him early game, the more useless he will be later. Don't let him freefarm. If you can insta-gib him, do it, even at the cost of one of your teamates (within reason obviously). He is 100% damage and 0 health. Most team comp with kog focus on protecting him while he melts the opponents; don't let him do that.

Anything bursty with relatively good resistances will do the trick, but if you are playing bruiser try to go more on the damage side than the tanky side, because if you take too long to kill him, he'll rape you before you can kill him. Igniting AD Kog is worth it because his survivability comes from his lifesteal.
