When Kog'Maw is paired with Ryze, he sees a marginal improvement in his total damage dealt. This change could demonstrate that Ryze supports by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ryze.
