Who Wins

Pre-6, Kog'Maw + Lux have the edge: Lux's root enables free poke combos and Kog'Maw's W range outpaces Yunara's early damage, meaning your healing will be taxed heavily and your W needs to land consistently to contest.
Post-6, Yunara's R shifts the dynamic, but Lux's root remains a hard counter to your setup — your job is to peel Lux's Q away from Yunara rather than initiate fights.

Your best pattern is to bait Lux's Q with positioning, then immediately W into Kog'Maw to slow him and let Yunara stack Q attacks in the window — follow with E on Yunara to amplify her on-hit damage and give her the speed to stay on target.
Avoid using your W as an opener when Lux's Q is available, because a rooted Yunara with your W on cooldown is a kill setup for them.

You should roam only after a wave crash and only if Yunara has enough sustain or a health lead to survive a 1v2 poke pattern — Kog'Maw + Lux will punish an absent support by zoning Yunara off the wave entirely.
Optimal roam timing is post-6 when Yunara has R available, as she can hold lane independently for a short window and your W slow can set up kills in other lanes.

Do not use your W as a heal-only tool in this lane — Kog'Maw's sustained poke will drain your mana if you're constantly healing without trading back, and you'll run out of resources before they do.
The critical mistake is standing too close to Yunara, making both of you vulnerable to a single Lux Q that chains into a full Kog'Maw poke combo.
