Overall, Nami sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kog'Maw. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference could indicate that Kog'Maw provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Kog'Maw.

Is Nami better when played alongside Kog'Maw?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Nami that will always be her #1 ally. However, overall, Kog'Maw is a good teammate for Nami. By being on the same team as Nami, he raises their win rate by 1.3% to 50.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a somewhat important bond between Nami and Kog'Maw that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Kog'Maw has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players need to be cautious when lining up Kog'Maw comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.

When playing alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by grouping Nami and Kog'Maw together, you probably will not be providing your side much protection for burst damage. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of your Kog'Maw ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
