As Kog fanatic I have to say something: i agree with you, nerfs on ult touched more ad than ap kog as you have to wait more or you risk to go oom in a second (as they increase the timer of more mana stacks) while ap can build a rod of ages and a tear of goddess (and for real spammers also athene) and you will be fine for the rest of the game. Also bonus ad are low at early game so your ult deals overall less damage as ad than as ap. I suggest you to wait the next patch and try kog with blade of the ruined king as first item as they changed a bit the effect (i think it will help kog'maw a lot). Also try to keep or a complitely agressive attitude with a good nunu support (or lulu) or a complitely defensive attitude during laning phase, you have to keep a bit of lane control even if it's hard. I'm currently trying different builds and rune pages for kog, i'll see which one makes your laning phase at least at the level of vayne (vayne is an hard carry as kog but with her little dash, her passive and the knockback/stun laning phase is easier than kog's).

I had the same problem at the beginning of pre s3, but then i realized that i just had to play him a little more and try a different item built order.
