I would still max W on AP Kog'Maw, but I would now max Q second instead of W. The fact that the base resistance shred is so high means that you don't have to max it first, at least on an AP build. That said - I will give it a fair go, but I think losing his ability to clear minion waves will hurt his laning too much.

As an AD - I'll probably try maxing it first. His W arguably does little damage early game as it scales with their health, but the bonus range will be missed. The fact they moved his W cost to his Q and then made his W free means his mana-sustain in lane should be no different after this change despite the fact he's now using two skills regularly, instead of one. If they had given his Q an AD scaling this wouldn't even be a question - I wouldn't max new Q (first) ever - but I'm guessing that's why they didn't give it one.
