There's a reason why nobody plays Kog'Maw any more and I can boil it down to three major points;

1. Why play kog'maw which requires a team composition to be built around him when I can just play Kai'Sa or Kayle without a team comp and have even better results

2. Literally every aspect of Kog'Maw has been gutted, from his items (Loss of hybrid tri-force, loss of on-hit scaling rageblade, loss of MR shred wit's end, bortk price increase) to his stats. Remember when Riot reworked Kog'Maw and nerfed his base stats because of how ridiculously broken his W was and when they reverted his kit they didn't revert his stats too?

3. Tanks do not exist in League of legends any more. Any "tank" can match most other damage-oriented champions with only tank items built. On top of this, almost any champion played to this day has some form of gap-closer or long ranged harass that completely takes kog'maw out of the fight. Go look at Zed and Yasuo's Pick-Rate and that alone can tell you why nobody plays Kog'Maw in a competitve setting.
