Who Wins

Pre-6, you have a meaningful level 2 spike where E jump into auto-W-auto with Thresh flay can chunk or kill Kog'Maw before Lulu can fully react — this is your best window to establish dominance because Lulu's W is on a long cooldown and she cannot peel both of you simultaneously at level 2.
Post-6, Lulu's R makes all-ins significantly harder and you need to either burst Lulu first or bait out her R before committing to kill Kog'Maw.

Your best pattern is to E onto Kog'Maw when Thresh has already landed a hook or flay to guarantee Lulu's W is used reactively on Thresh rather than on you — then you auto-W-auto and reset E if you get a kill, or disengage with E if Lulu R's Kog'Maw.
Never jump in without Thresh engaging first because Lulu's W will polymorph you mid-air and waste your cooldowns.

You want to hard shove the wave with W and E resets to deny Kog'Maw CS under tower, since he is immobile and struggles to last-hit safely when pressured — shoving also creates roam opportunities for Thresh and forces Lulu to choose between following or staying to protect Kog'Maw.
Use your range advantage at later levels to poke Kog'Maw off the wave before committing to an all-in.

Do not jump onto Kog'Maw when Lulu has W available and Thresh has not yet engaged — you will be polymorphed, slowed by Q, and Kog'Maw will outdamage you at range while you are CC'd.
Patience on your E is critical; an uncoordinated jump into this lane is a wasted cooldown and often a death.
