Playing alongside, Brand players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Regardless of your Kog'Maw ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
