all you wanna do in this lane is just try and farm up without dying and stomp him after 20-25 minutes into the game because you scale 10 times better.
Nautilus
if you are against a nautilus and a very agressive adc, i would suggest you to dodge the game (you wont have fun) . Nautilus just stops anything you try to do with his ultimate at any stage of the game.
Karma
Karma is so hard to play against because of her shields and movement speed buffs to allies.
Anytime u try to engage she just speeds her entire team up so they can kite and run away from you . its a really hard matchup
Tristana
she will try and all in you at level 2 with her W and E combo. so try and keep your range early because she can secure level 2 advantage faster than you. This is also where exhaust comes in handy, if she jumps ontop of you just exhaust as fast as you can and 40% of her dmg is just gone
Varus
Varus is strong but support picks is what decides this matchup. You outscale him, watch out for his mid/lategame Qs as they do almost your entire HP bar.
Jhin
Really strong champion, support picks decides this matchup. Watch out for his Qs bouncing on minions and back off from him whenever he has his fourth shot as he will look to poke you with it during laning phase
Thresh
Depending on your ability to avoid his hooks. Thresh mains have a fetish for trying to predict hooks so they will try and hook where they think you will dodge (so they will try and predict you walking backwards during the cast motion) in this situation you play dumb and have ego and not dodge the hook whatsoever and just keep walking. it sounds dumb but this works surprisingly well against ONLY thresh mains/onetricks though.
Aphelios
This is very dependant on how good the Aphelios is. Laning phase he outdamages you pretty heavily everytime he has his sniper. Watch out for him lvl 1-6. You outscale him
Ezreal
Ezreal is mehh, just try and avoid his Qs by standing behind your minions. You outdamage him depending on support matchup and if you are inside your minions. Ezreal has good scaling aswell but Kog'maws has even better scaling.
Samira
This matchup can be tricky if samira is paired with a high CC support such as Nautilus or Alistar due to their high kill pressure during lane. However you outscale her depending on how good your composition is at denying her 1v9 potential with her R.
Caitlyn
High range, high poke but you outscale this matchup heavily. Just watch out if shes paired with a Morgana/Lux because shes super deadly if you get rooted and Caitlyn puts a trap under you, she can combo you for your entire hp bar if its a good Caitlyn player
Ashe
You outdamage her as long as you play behind your minions to hide from her W arrow volley. Her R is quite annoying, against this matchup i would take cleanse. You outscale her
Kai'Sa
Kai'Sa is an easy matchup due to her low range and with my common used build you can 1v1 her at most stages of the game because wits end denies alot of her dmg.
Lulu
really strong combo due to lulus shields, her polymorph on assassins trying to kill you and also her ultimate making you a tank and knocking up nearby enemy champions. If you have a good lulu she can deny any engage from a rengar ultimate leap for example.
Nami
really strong combo here with Hail of Blades + namis E and Kog'Maws W. high kill potential with ignite on nami.
Braum
Braum is really broken IMO but nobody plays him sadly. Having a good braum next to you puts a smile on your face as Kog'Maw. He denies any engage from enemies with his ulti and he can also block any projectiles coming for you.
as Kog'Maw you can also take Hail of Blades if you want in this matchup. U have high kill potential with Braums passive
