Overall, Kog'Maw sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This could signal that Karma provides cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Kog'Maw is played with Karma on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Karma. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Karma.
Moreover, when Kog'Maw plays with Karma on the same side, he typically takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Karma does a decent job of protecting Kog'Maw in teamfights.

Is Kog'Maw better when played alongside Karma?
There is no one best ally for Kog'Maw that will 100% of the time be his top synergy. However, Karma is a very typical ally for Kog'Maw. By locking into the same side as Kog'Maw, she lowers their win rate by -0.5% to 48.5%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Kog'Maw and Karma that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Karma has a lower difficulty than Kog'Maw. That means Kog'Maw players don't need to be cautious when finding Karma teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Working on the same side, Kog'Maw players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Together, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by bringing Kog'Maw and Karma together, you probably will not be giving your team a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you include other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Karma ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
