Sorry to say, but Kog'Maw tends to get outclassed as a mage 90% of the time. Especially with the new meta of "send all the gap closing AD assassins mid lane instead of top".

In ARAM it works wonders if you need a mage simply because of his range and the lack of juking room, but if someone is paying attention and has boots you can normally juke most of Kog's ult shots.
