Tips Against Tahm Kench in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Zagreus16 says “all what hes gonna do is out sustain you by hitting his Q lick on you constantly. If you can avoid that then you pretty much win the fight. if he goes heartsteel then make sure you ult him into his own team for big dmg”
0
step1v9 says “The only reason this champion isn't in extreme is because he is just so useless out of laning phase in MOST comps. Do your best to mitigate giving him an advantage through laning phase. Stand behind your minions to dodge his Q. He will only use W two ways: 1) after he Q slow you to kill in all-in 2) to disengage. Just keep autoing when he procs E for the most part. His R does damage once he spits you out, so try to hold your R for as long as possible while inside him. Remember he can reactivate it early.”
0
Lukenzoo says “He's pretty strong early if you fight him stack as much ghouls.”
0
Raideru says “You win lvl 1, punish him with an extended trade if he doesn't respect you, through the lane your goal is to just do short trades that eventually lead into an all in, remember to keep your e for his teleport so you can cancel it”
0
Azzin says “You can cleanse his Q stun or his ult. Just don't be too greedy and don't get send under tower and you should be fine.”
0
Haxorr says “Tahm Kench is a really easy matchup and is almost never played. Just take Conquerer + DBlade and rush Ravenous Hydra. Obviously be careful about him eating and spitting you into tower, but other than that you should be all set.”
0
DuckQc says “Annoying shit He can kill you pre-6 with cc and a big wave. Post-6 he can escape your r with w. When he uses w or when he is pushed up, all in him.”
0
TeiWasTaken says “This frog has decent pre 6 damage for a tank, so do not do stupid stuff. Dodge his W with your E or dismounted Q and you will be fine. Also, take Flash so you can escape if he eats you and spits you under his tower.”
0
WIELKI B says “dodge his q, he has big dmg, w his ult, take cutdown and first strike.”
0
The Cats Meow says “Too tanky, deals way more damage than you, has better stats than you, and just destroys you once he gets an epic item. I recommend play passively and wait for jungler's help. ”
0
Ulsur says “Tahm Kench can be easy, but if he's playing with his team he'll be pretty strong, try to dodge his :P, as he has pretty high early/mid game damage as a tank, if he ever walks up to your Q range instantly punish, as he has no escape from your W and you can interrupt his W with your own Qs, he's really good in teamfights though so watch out.”
0
DioSett says “take tp , conq, go for black cleaver, try to dodge q and keep ult for when he is ulting you inside his turret so you can escape”
0
Hotch says “His early damage is pretty strong. You will definitely need 3-4 ghouls to fight him. Look to punish with W if he uses W or if you're really quick you might be able cancel his W with yours and trap him. You outscale him.
Take Ignite.”
0
KingJoeyy says “stand behind wave from his tongue ability you need to know wave management its possible if he hits you with 3 attacks he will eat you into tower. just cs better play around levels and learn wave management.”
0
forlid says “Tahm Kench is a dueling based tank who has a lot of shields and sustain in his kit. You want to prevent him from freely getting his passive stacks on you, so try to play behind minions. After level 6 he gains a lot of kill pressure and insec potential with his R, but he can only use it on you if he has three stacks of his passive, which he procs by auto attacking and using Q. Early boots help with dodging his abilities.”
0
Eriyjah says “Inspiration secondary runes, rush Blade of the Ruined King.”
0
procatking says “for this matchup runes NO.2,3 are good, take tp and D shield.(look for one that fit your game-style).
*Hard matchup*
You have 2 ways:
1.Don't fight, focusing on farm, roam to kill and help your team.
2.First back u have to buy EXECUTIONER'S CALLING and quicksilver so he won't be able to heal a lot and ult u.
Stay behind minions to avoid getting hit by his tongue lash(Q).
Go skills leveling page NO.2 and first item BotRK.
If he try to run away with his W,
Shield Vault(W) him to cancel it.”
0
YuletideGlory says “The guy can easily retreat, easily engage, and poke you to death from a safe distance. He will absolutely try to pick a fight with you level 1. His ult also can render your ult useless as he carries you around. Despite dishing out great damage, Tahm is also very tanky, his stats simply beat your stats. You can avoid his Q by hiding behind minions or being light on your feet, but don't try to fight him without the jungler's help, just farm what you can.”
0
Witchking of Angwar says “Flash/tp. Conq
His q poke is annoying and you need to watch out for him eating you and throwing you under tower. You can cancel his r with yours if you time it perfectly. Save e for his e.
Liandries rush and its free”
0
conqiyana says “out sustains u and will win 1v1 after heartsteel, take first strike and scale”
0
Haggars says “Able to get a very early form. Can potentially kill you early on. You hard win extended trades after Rhaast/first item.”
0
MaesePerez says “Do not fight him early. If you go even in lane you outscale, but he will always be a pain in both sidelane and 1v1. Early on his q healing and on hit damage will make him win both long and short trades, and once he gets his ult he will try to spit you into his tower. Remember to silence him before going for an ult because of his e shield. ”

forlid says “Tahm Kench relies heavily on getting his Q off, so standing behind minions hinders his CC output by a lot. He also lacks mobility, and you can cancel his W with CC. Once he buys Thornmail, he gets much stronger, and you will probably never kill him in late game, so focus on killing his team.”
0
SpoonSlayer says “Stand behind minions for his Q. When you're pushing the wave be careful as he might ult you and spit you in his tower. Clear the waves asap and wait for your wave to get into his tower before getting near it.”
0
Belle19 says “stand behind minion wave to deny his q's. Stay away from his half of the lane from 6-10. At 11 you can honestly tank 2-3 turret shots and not die from his ult kidnap thing, but with rank 1 r its impossible and you will die. You hard outscale.”
0
Bard_Enjoyer says “He does have 2 stuns and can tank your dmg, but if you have an aggressive jg then it shouldn't be a problem (if jg even ganks you, lul)”
0
Angryappleseed says “No winning vs this guy 1v1. Conq Scorch build with BORK Cleaver rush is best chance. Maybe get a serpent's fang late game (if you survive that long)”
0
Artszy says “Muito forte no 1v1. o dano do Q com a passiva da muito dano e o escudo dele salva muito ele. evita tentar ir para cima quando a wave ta perto da torre dele, ele vai para cima para te ultar de baixo da torre e te stunar la. Espera gank enquanto farma e se ele tentar fugir com W, use o E para cancelar.”
0
ItzLuckyGMD says “[MAX Q] [First Strike] [Proxy] Win at Last Whisper”
0
Belle19 says “if you are careless and are anywhere close to his tower he will ult you and your bleed stacks make you auto aggro the turret. Dodge his q's. Beyond that you win pretty hard”
0
zwartebliksem says “Don't get hit by his Q, Tahm Kench can stick on you really easily, but you out trade him as long as you dodge his Q. Tahm Kench wins longer trades, due to his sustain. Therefore, you should do a quick trade, wait for Tahm Kench's passive stacks to dissapear, repeat.”

Haearnbleidd says “Annoying shit
He can kill you pre-6 with cc and a big wave. Post-6 he can escape your r with w. When he uses w or when he is pushed up, all in him.

deathbypotion says “Buy swifties if you can, dodge his Qs, avoid being to close to his tower. Your W stops him from using W”
0
PPlongcook says “Dodge worthy. Fuck this 200 years bullshit, he will outdamage you the entire game while being unkillable. Don't even try and trade with him. Rush Bami's Cinder and play under turret. It's winnable if your team carries you because he's not as useful outside of lane if no other lanes are winning.”
0
MYCATRENGAR says “Conq / grasp
Take short trades until his stacks on you fall off, then commit.
Save your WW for his Q stun if he does stack.
You can WW his Ult, it's a win condition. ”

Akuzai says “Try to stay away from him if you're close to his tower. You outscale hard later.”

hoflol says “Low mobility tank but has very annoying slow on Q. Lane can be difficult, but you will be much more useful in team fights.
Rush swiftness boots and Demonic Embrace to have kill pressure.”

GheeseEmpty says “Not a very pressing threat, and easily outscaled. Try not to trade him hard near his tower at level 6, as he will simply eat you and try to spit you out beneath the turret. When trading him, attempt to force out his E to prevent him from healing it back. Abyssal Mask and Liandry's Torment make good first items into Tahm Kench, but you should also consider buying Grievous Wounds as well.”
0
xXazzer says “The only thing he can do is after 6 eat you and throw you in tower. Other than that just go ham on him. Deny him his heals with his tongue too. You can predict when he's going for it.”
0
NegativePhoenix says “The only real annoying part of his kit is his Q and Ult
You can take bramble if you wanna hinder his Q healing, but remember he does AP damage so that's only to stop his healing, not to lower his damage fully, and he gains more damage the more health he has so that's up to you if you wanna bramble or not
If he Ws, your Q can usually stop it and your Q also destroys his E shield so keep that in mind
You're gonna out-tank him in the later stages”
0
X_TRM says “(Start W/E) Very hard matchup. Utilize your early lvls because you will get outscaled and If he Ults you under his tower use your Ult to get out. His Q's are almost impossible to dodge but you can play around your minion wave, which is his main counter, although he can contest you in the wave and out dps you with his AAs. Your E and Ult can grab him out of his W. He can be a pain because he controls the lane but early you can get prio at least.”
0
LilliaFanBoy says “Do I have to say anything?
Stay behind minions less you have 4 passive stacks.
You can rush Demonic for an even easier match-up.
Reap your free lane by not being hit.”

LegacyOneTap says “A dangerous fish. lt dblade, flash ghost, stay behind minions to dodge his licks, fight within minions so he doesn't get heals. when he is about to dive and run start up e and automatically stun him. care for his shield, try not to get eaten near his tower you just die at that point. sunderer bork.”

Pode pegar PTA, F.F ou P.R (eu recomendo P.R)”

The Saucy Saurus says “Trade with Q when he walks up for minions but do not take extended trades. Avoid his W. If he is trying to use his W to escape, interupt it with your E.”
0
BurritoTopKing says “After buffs he can be a bit more dangerous, careful.
Don't get poked by his Q, try to save your E for his W, also try not to trade too close to his tower after 6 as he can ult you into tower and your bleed will make you catch tower aggro.”
0
WarwicksSimp says “From what I remember when this pick was popular in top lane you could just go grasp with second wind dshield or corrupting pot and go even the whole lane so you can focus on wave management and cs. He doesn't do anything to you and you can stack grasp freely off of each other. But you can kill if hes low, just save your r for when he tries to escape, timing your E to when he might try to escape with his teleport is good too but harder to do. DO NOT BE PUSHED INTO HIS TOWER AND CSING, HE WILL R YOU AND KILL YOU UNDER TOWER.”

Chaddouk says “Trynd can beat Tahm Kench on long trades early levels since new lethal tempo came out, BUT it will depend on trynd dodging at least one Q from Tahm. Basically laning phase is all about this, either dodge it with good movements or by positioning yourself behind minions. Be careful after 6 your ult duration is 5 sec and Tahm can eat you for 3 sec, so he can tempo it very easily and then spit you lick you and here's your ult gone. Can play safe pretty easily if you want to scale up, later with kraken you have an other opportunity at killing him but if he goes full armor it's doomed just bring him side and rotate,”
0
daitolol says “- Mostly an afk lane, go only for short trades stand only behind minions
- His ultimate does a lot of dmg and can be chained into q but can only be used when he has full stacks of passives try your best to evade it by staying in shroud and waiting it out
-HIs w is really easy to dodge as you can use your e and get a free hit
”

chewy378 says “Tahm can't kill you by himself. However, he is very tanky and can throw you under tower post-6 if you come near it. ”

CyncWolf says “Bad macthup, try to cheese early and snowball. If he rushes steelcaps it's hard to 1v1 him. Rush Hydra and perma push to roam jungle/mid.”

DebRiX9 says “He will be annoying, a lot of heal regen on his side. Rusy Rylai anyway, then depends on team comp for Mythic. Use your E if he dives. Ult him carefully because he can completely cancel with his. ”

Divine
Play to proc grasp, be sure to dodge his Q since it procs grasp and heals him by default. when he has R don't let him stack on you when he's near to tower or has ghost. If your jungler is ganking wait with fourt stack for him to W and cancel it with E2.”

Antecc says “Dodge his Q
Don't perform any trades if he has Q up.
If you dodge his Q, short trades are possible, but it's much better to focus solely on farm as he heals damage back up with Doran's Shield, E Passive and resolve. Easier matchup after Divine + Black Cleaver.”

ABL Pantheon says “Really hard one. You must dodge his Q if you can, if not you cannot really play. Try to dodge his W if possible too. You dont deal much damage to him before getting any items. Stay away from his towers if he has 6. He wins extended trades.”

lordimboutabust says “Even though his top got gutted he is still a threat in lane. You can beat him in the early levels if you dont get hit by his Q and at 6 you win even if you get eaten if you don't get stunned. If he does hit his Q tho he can still kill you so be careful of that and stand behind minions in lane. If he misses Q or uses it on the wave you can use that as a trade opportunity | Second wind | Dshield - (executioners if you need it, if you didn't fall behind you can usually do ok without it) - divine”

Bernardian says “One of Darius's worst matchup now turned easy. Tahm used to be cancer because he had free sustain with his shield and tons of damage but now that he doesn't have those things post rework kench is a easy matchup for Darius. Divine isnt a must but it is really good against him, auto w trade is crucial and SAVE SAVE SAVE YOUR E for when he W's as if you do its literally a free kill. Dont let him stack his passive on you because he can now Q+R you and if hes under his tower it pulls you.”

AlmightyNoxian says “You can easily bully tahm kench, just be careful about him using his ult to bring you to the enemy turret.”

SesaPrime says “ Talm Kench used to be a nuisance for carries trying to scale & become a champion. He exploits your early game flaws & tries to force fights on you aren't prepared for. He's too tanky to fight in the early levels & only gets progressively tanky to soak up more damage. But that is all he can do.
He needs a team to back him up & for him to save. He's not even close to matching a prime Camille. ”

Ulamog says “Grasp Build; Second Wind + D Shield.
Always dodge his Q's, you can parry his W and his Passive-Q or Passive-R.
Just farm it out and punish him if he misplays.
he cannot kill you aslong as you stay behind minions so he can't hit Q's and also take good Grasp Q trades with him.
Make use of your Second Wind + D Shield every time you take dmg.”

xShortBreadx says “Tahm Kench is definelty stronger pre-6 but outplayeable. Standing behind minions to block his Q is very important as it both his main source of damage and healing otherwise just sit back and scale with your passive. If you see him going into bush or out of vision, he is likely going to W on top of you so either check with W or stay back a bit. Even when you have ult, its important to stand behind minions as it makes it incredibly unplayable for tahm. ”

Biba or OTP Kled says “Tank base:Caddle fish,not a frog,Kled beats every tank easy 'cuz he is strong in early when tanks need to scale first(Ok this one is really hard so dodge his Q everytime and dont let him stack passive on you if he close to his tower)”
0
PraefectusMace says “Another one of those who classify as 'too tanky'. Not only he can soak up hits, but has the whole gray hp thing to help him to survive. Not only that, his poke has a decent recent to bother you, and if he gets 3 stacks you spend a long ass time stuck in a CC and throw into whatever direction he is pointing at. So might be best to land Qs when you can and play safe until you are sure you can go all in. ”

But normally you can fight him alot as long as you aren't close to his tower. He can just eat you if you are on his side in lane and spit you out under his tower.
Do not use R when he has alot of grey health unless you can Q silence him first, because he will just press E and get a huge shield.”

Pep_Shin says “Respect him before 6, his CCs and minion wave can fuck you up.
Once 6 run him down. You should be able to catch up his W.
If you can't, it means he maxed it out and shouldn't do damage.”

Puyi says “Q is harder to dodge with your E than you'd think, but not extremely difficult. Don't get near his tower if you don't have W up. Play around your cooldowns; it's hard to kill him but not impossible. He can't do much against you if you play correctly, but he can easily punish your mistakes.”

Irelius says “If you dodge his Qs a couple of times and hit all your speels, you'll be fine. Dont take trades under his tower after 6 tho. You dont want to get devoured and then found yourself under enemy tower. ”

ananesever69 says “Only real scary thing about him is his Q poke but it's easy to avoid if you're behind minions. His W and yours have around the same CDs but his is super easy to predict where he's coming up so you can W him the second he comes out. You should win most fights if he doesn't have help truthfully with your max health passive and Q3.”

Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Blade.
Ghost+Ignite.
Tank with huge survivability and a lot of DMG. Don't fight him before level 6 or when you're alone. It's best to wait for the jungler and try to kill him together, alone your chances are not too high. If Tahm is very fed, you can go BOTRK, which will definitely increase your chances against the catfish.”

RuchaczSzmat69 says “Your kit counters him, the problem is that his numbers are sick and you have no way of killing him early. Play safe, dont get licked or knocked up and you should be fine, if he uses the "jump from the floor" ability place barrel on the place where he will jump out. You can kill him past lv7 if you play smart and after dominics and lv13 he is just free kill if not turbo fed. The key to dueling him is reseting your passive as the true damage hurts him a lot, the fact that you can W out of his ult is also very helpful but you will still take some damage and he will displace you.”

RandumPersin says “Very even matchup - take conqueror, ghost, and rush BotRK. Tahm Kench is a bit of a cheese pick as a toplaner these days, but he is still a powerful duelist. Respect the bonus damage his passive gives him on autos in the early levels and you should be fine. Use empowered W to break his Thick Skin shield and you should win every fight. Ghost is crucial in this matchup since Kench's ultimate has the capability to completely ruin our positioning to a point where even flash can't help us enough to recover. Unlike most champions where empowered W only really shines in laning phase, breaking his E shield remains our single most important counterplay tool to Kench throughout the entire game. He becomes pretty unfightable past 2 items, so make sure to push your advantage while you can. Don't ever dash in on this guy unless you are prepared to all-in since his Q slow is ridiculous and it stuns for an ungodly amount of time if he hits you a couple times beforehand. Don't disrespect his level 1 damage as well as the possibility for his ultimate to completely ruin our day and you should be fine.”

Fizzy says “Avoid fights near his tower, that's the biggest advice I can give you, he'll just throw you into it and it'll be a big problem. His Q is a bit of a problem because of his slowness, so if it's all three passive stacks, use W to parry his Q causing a stun and a possible win.”

hamgi says “tahm is a lot like ornn in the sense that they're super tanky but do a lot of damage, but tahm is a little harder for yone than ornn bc he's more mobile. he has great gank set-up, so him using his w to engage (when ur not super low) is a tell-tale sign that ur being ganked. his q does not go thru minions, so u always want to hide behind them. each lick slows u and after 4 licks, he can stun u, so keep that in mind for when u do fight him. it is a skillshot, tho, so try ur best to dodge as u fight. after only 3 licks, tho, he can eat u, so be prepared to be spat out under a tower. tahms have good discipline to not eat u in spirit form, but in the off-chance the tahm does, like sett, if u recast at the exact moment he casts, u wont be ulted (unlike sett tho idk if his ult goes on cd). otherwise, once u get spat out, e duration will be over or u can just quickly recast it and get back to safety. try to always engage with e post-6 as this will err tahms from wanting to eat u. altho be careful as if he gets 3+ stacks on u and ur body is not in a safe place, he will either w onto it to eat/stun u or simply walk past u and camp it”
0
Justkb says “Play passively early and don't shove the lane as he will look to eat you and throw you under tower. You hard win post laning phase as you can use him as a stacking tool in team fights. Having a decent wave position all laning phase is very important in this matchup! ”

StingingChicken says “Stay in your wave where you can land your Q and he can't land his, be careful of being spit under tower after 6. Poke him down with Q's and all in once he's low, you can cancel his W with yours as well. Unlike other tanks, he actually has some power in an all in. ”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Ensure you’re always behind a minion so it is harder for him to land his Tongue Lash(Q). If he is able to land his Q, he may look for a fight. As soon as Tahm Kench activates his Grey Health Thick Skin(E), disengage from the fight as it will offer him protection and you may be unable to kill him through the bonus health. Tahm Kench is quite immobile. If you can, try to keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map. This will force him to overextend for farm, which can allow you to chase him down, or set up your Jungler to kill him.”

NegativePhoenix says “12.11 sees an increase to his passive damage, and gives him more sustain thanks to his Q giving more healing power if landing on you. If you can out poke him in lane phase you can normally win. Just be careful not to start a full fight with him as he has more overall damage in the early game so without a gank, he will beat you. If he's about to run while low, silence him or knock him up with Q to stop it. You have a good kit to stop his escapes and engages.”

Yiphen says “Start Doran's Shield and go for Merc Treads. You need armor pen to kill him lategame. Get Divine Sunderer. He's actually faster than you so if he W's, Q + W away from him.

Also if he does not want to fight you you can't kill him becuse he just uses w and gets away, you can't stop him becuse tryndamere does not have stuns to cancel the w”

HelloStranger says “GRASP | Flash + Ignite

WildSamu says “DBlade + Red Pot.
He's a lot weaker toplane after the nerfs a couple patches ago, so he's not the unkillable monster he was.
Dont underestimate his short trades if he goes hail of blades, you beat him in extended trades.
Look to dodge his Q because it heals him quite a lot,
His W gives him a lot of sustain, go grvious wounds if there is othere healing on the enemy team.”

Aberrant Demon says “Stay behind your minions and farm up. You shouldn't get a kill opportunity for a while but he also has a hard time sticking to you, because you can cleanse his Q slow and/or W his passive stun. Scale up and you'll be more useful by default. The only way you can solo kill him realistically is if you bait out his W and then all-in once his shield runs out.”

NegativePhoenix says “Tahm is still a tank, an annoying one at times honestly. He's only even because his tank power is backed up by insane damage all game if you aren't careful. With 12.11, his passive damage increased with an ult shield increase and a Q healing buff, making him have more lane sustain if he lands hits on you. Just be cautious, avoid his Qs and remember if he feels he will lose a fight he will W away and since you have no stuns, you cant stop it. Be heavily careful of his Q and W as now it stacks off AP pretty heavily. As weird as it is to say, AP Tahm might start to return as a pick.”

Potent213 says “Runes:
PTA
Goal in lane:
Deny him as much resources as possible, as he is really hard to kill.
Wave 1-4:
Try to get prio and get a cheater recall off, but it can be tough as tahm kench isn't weak in the early levels, if not wait for level 3 and trade him, stop trading when parry is on cd.
Tips:
You want to poke him out don't look to go for all ins in the early levels as he is very strong, try to poke him down while trading in minions to not get hit by Q, you completely outrange and have way more mobility than he does.
There are a ton of spells you can parry from his kit, his Q if he has 3 stacks, his devour if you can predict, and the easiest well, his old ultimate that is now his W so the abyssal dive, upon reappearing he knocks up everyone, so you get a free stun if he uses it on you.

Alan234 says “Go Fleet footwork with cut down and unflinching. Take boots + refillable pot and buy swiftness boots asap, then transition into the standard PTA build (liandry and demonic are valid alternatives).
Use your huge movement speed advantage and small hitbox to prevent tahm to q you. You can hear his w so be prepared to dodge it (its always dodgeable no matter what angle). Don't harass him too much under tower as his ult is a death sentence. Don't underestimate tahm kench at low hp as his q heals him a lot and his shield is decent as well at lower hp values. If you constantly push tahm kench in he will have trouble csing and his w engage will never work due to your swiftness boots+unflinching running away.”

Anothaoneforym6 says “Used to be extreme buy since his E change he dropped down to a Low major/High even as he can still lane bully you just not as much, as level 6 all ins are very different when he only has a 15% shield rather than 55%. He can peel for his and can escape easily if he isn't far behind but stunning and W'ing away. Avoid his Q poke by staying behind minions in lane and go Q max try to outscale as soon as possible without dying give up as much cs as you need to until jg can help or you outscale either works.”

Federals1 says “This matchup is very tough for Volibear, though not impossible. If he rushes Anathema's Chains he is unkillable. The only way you will kill him is if you have Black Cleaver+Divine Sunderer. His early to mid game damage is also very high without him needing to build damage. If he does also build damage it's even more threatening. Divine Sunderer is a must if you want to 1v1 him late game. Dodging his q is the most important part of the lane so if you max q and can wiggle around him properly you can get some decent trades in. Maxing w also works but it doesn't give enough value, as it doesn't change your upfront 1v1 pottential against him. Doran's ring and Blade both work well into him. Flash+Ignite are the preffered summoner spell choices. You can build either speed like Aether Wisp or tier 2 boots, or you can try to rush Divine Sunderer. First rune page should be used. Q max is needed.”

PandoraPanda14 says “DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HIS DMG. U can punish him for farming but dont give him free grasp stacks. He can eat u when u q and stun lock u for ganks. His e can completely negate ur ult dmg but if he misses a Q u can all in him early with ghost. Save E if he tries to W away.”

You shouldn't face a lot since he got a rework for support role, but he is still pretty strong in top lane, You can parry his 3 marks Q, his devour or his W to stun him, try to poke inbetween minions so you don't get poked by his Q. Don't fight him early lvls since you still outscale him.”

Start W.
Really annoying lane but I haven't played vs him after his top lane viability got nerfed in patch 12.2. Just don't fight him ever. He's too tanky and does way too much damage for how tanky he is. He can also freeze like 3 minion waves without losing that much hp wich is overpowered like c'mon Riot. Just try to survive and be more useful than him outside of laning phase. He's becomes a walking brick once he leaves laning phase.”

MHLoppy says “Because of his W (Devour) and E (shield pop), he can actually be quite a formidable champion to 1v1 pre-6. You should be much stronger at level 1, somewhat stronger at level 2, then plausibly even or weaker during 3-5. At 6 you can dumpster him if you start the fight healthy, so just respect that time period when you're not as strong.”

Your Desired Username says “Very similar to Mundo, just chill behind minions and there isn't really much he can do. Rush liandry's and watch his health be shred. If he farms in melee range spam poke him with q and e as he simply cannot retaliate. The only point in the game where you actually have to be careful is when it's early into the game and the wave is on his side. One single misstep can mean certain death here so watch out and make sure you're capable of fighting him when you're this far extended, otherwise he can simply perma slow you and kill you. Post-6 just avoid taking quick trades and always extend into an all-in. You beat him if you don't miss too many Q's with ult. You outscale him super hard but only ult this guy if there's no better option in teamfights as he's just way too hard to kill within 7 seconds.”

boboderaffe says “Stay out of his way during laning phase. If he dives interrupt it with your E.
He can either eat you OR one of his teammates during a teamfight. If he chooses to eat you during your ult, you will lose a lot of damage. If he eats one of his allies, wait for him to cast his dive and interrupt it with your E.
You can also cast your W in the direction he is probably going to spit out his teammate or cast it on where he comes up again, should he have the chance to dive away.
Don’t get eaten. ”

Stinkee says “Tahm has been a threat in the top lane a few times but currently he is not great and easy to deal with. He is extremely susceptible to ganks.

He does mostly magic damage so you can consider buying Mercury Treads and other magic resist items.”

Sovereign Kitten says “Finally the Kench has been Benched slightly making him more of a support champion again more than a dominating Top laner. He can still easily run you down or surprise you with his (W) from bushes or while you're near his tower to get behind you and potentially knock you up. Once you get slowed by Tahm there really isn't any escape especially later on when he has acquired Frostfire Gauntlet. He should be easier to deal with, but still it would serve you well to play a more mobile approach with a max E and W, and purchasing Swifties to avoid being run down. He is tanky, has a massive shield and slows / sustain. ”

Anoying bro5 says “Don't fight him early game. This is not an enjoyable lane. Dodge his Q. Look to parry the final passive Q or W that he uses. This can be tricky but its the only real use of you parry in this lane. You win once you hit 6 and have tiamat. DO NOT DIE PRE 6. ”

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Complete hell to lane against after lvl 2-3. His W completely mitigates Thresh range advantage by allowing him to jump on you at any time and force a bad trade. Does good magic damage making the soul scaling useless. In lane you will be forced to sit under tower and wait for jungler to try and kill the frog. The upsides are that he does not push very well and can be locked down in teamfights. Q and E will both cancel his W. He falls off very hard.”

quinn adc says “Literally all you need to know is that if Tahm Q slows you, AA-E-AA to proc phase rush. This means he cant walk up to hit you with W, ever.
Stand behind minions, and if he Q slows you, use phase rush to escape. He relies on this slow to use W on you, which is all of his damage.
If you go even in this lane then it is a win for you becasue Tahm relies on getting ahead to do anything in this matchup.”

montybucket says “After his rework, tahm kench has become yet another problem to deal with. This is a skill based match up. I'd suggest legend; tenacity along with merc treads. He has a lot of CC and a surprising amount of damage for a tank, but he can't deal with your own healing and ultimate, make sure his ult is down before you use yours. The best way to win lane is to try and get 6 first then all in. NEVER TOWERDIVE A TAHM KENCH. ”

Una vez que Tahm te frena, realmente no hay escapatoria, especialmente más adelante cuando haya adquirido Frostfire Gauntlet. Te será de gran utilidad jugar con un enfoque más móvil con un máximo de E y W, y comprar Swifties para evitar que te agoten. Es tanque, tiene un escudo masivo y ralentiza / sostiene. Hasta que sea nerfeado, sería prudente bloquearlo como objetivo. No hay mucho que puedas hacer más allá del nivel 6 solo con él.

Just be really careful of his W, so instead of running towards your tower, you should run down through river, so unless their jungler was pathing up to you then you should be good but to be honest I would run towards any champ that is not TK.”

Drake6401 says “His rework has made him much harder to deal with because he now has mobility that was previously the only way Renekton could outperform him. You have a shot very early on, but if he stacks armor your full combo will do so little damage that he will passively heal it off in no time while one auto-attack will match your damage. Jungle help will be required if your opponent has any common sense. You can fight him again at 2 to 3 items in, but you needs BoRK and Black Cleaver to get through his defenses. Once he has a Bramble Vest, you pretty much lose until then.”

Rhoku says “TL;DR - CHEESE MATCHUP. JUST DON’T GET CHEESED AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. DODGE HIS Q. POKE HIM DOWN WITH Q FROM BEHIND YOUR MINIONS SO HE CAN’T FIGHT BACK. CONQUEROR IS VERY GOOD INTO HIM. CLEAVER IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING. KITE KITE KITE! DON’T EVER FIGHT HIM STRAIGHT UP AND TRADE AAS WITH HIM. HE CAN KEEP YOU STUNLOCKED UNTIL HE END OF TIME. MERC BOOTS WORK INTO HIM.
Tahm Kench top is a rare pick nowadays but when he was meta, he used to be a crazy strong pick. He is annoying because you have to destroy his health bar twice. But on the bright side, if he loses lane to you you can just dumpster him over and over again. The trick is to be careful when he just walks at you. Don’t get his by his Tongue, as the slow can sometimes be a death sentence. Poke him down with your Q as much as possible while staying behind minions so he can’t retaliate. Don’t sit next to him and get into an AA match with him as he WILL win. If he gets too tanky to kill, Cleaver will be a good buy into him, ESPECIALLY with the removed true damage of Conqueror. On the bright side though, the Conqueror healing allows you to stay in fight longer vs him…until he buys Bramble Vest. You beat him Level 6 with your ultimate if you dodge his abilities. AND he is bad vs ganks.

FeedLaneGetCaryd says “(Conditioning+Magic Resist+DBlade) Tahm Kench can be beaten lvl 1-2, if you kite him, dodge Q's and land E. Get Executioner's. Stand behind minions, to avoid getting hit by Qs. Don't fight him at all solo before second item. If you get junglers help, save E to stop his W. If he W's into you - run, you can't beat him even in your minion wave. After you get Black Cleaver - he is a free kill.”

Melyn says “Poke him out and make sure he never gets in range to eat you (which leads to your death). The most important thing here is not blowing your whole combo on the enemy ADC when his devour is up.

Hecki says “The current Toplane Tahm Kench got his sustain with E butchered to the point where you can actually win all-ins in the early game. Keep in mind though that the only thing they nerfed was his E so don't get cocky and dodge his Q's and go for trades that are in your favor.”

IvernLover74856 says “Been seing this a lot recently since his rework. Sadge.
Your E+Ignite doesn't kill lvl1. You need at least 2 full E procs.
He will stack armour. Go DShield since he also does fat tongue damage.
When he walks in to lick you early, dodge it and punish him by full-proccing E.
In mid-late game, you will NEED armour pen to kill him.
Go Sunderer -> cleaver -> bork
He can eat you in your ult so you don't get the healing.
Prioritise stacks over CS - roam for far stacks. He'll let you do it. Similar to Galio.”

Unmasked Kayle says “[Dodge?] Kayle cannot do much against Tahm. He can kill you every time his dash is up, and his slow makes it impossible to run away from him once he hits you.

IAmStryker says “Starting items:
-Dorans Shield
Lane:
He will try to bush cheese you by going into a bush and then channeling his W to knock you up and out trait you. Try to dodge his Q as good as you can because it heals him.
You will need 2+ Items to ever fight a TK in the wild or he will just win lane.
Tank Shredder build will be very efficient against him if you didnt lose lane with in the first 3 minutes of the game.”

MrShykun says “MATCHUP A RISQUE. NE PRENEZ PAS DE RISQUE INUTILE. ÉVITEZ SON Q. POKEZ-LE AVEC VOS Q DERRIÈRE VOS MINIONS POUR QU'IL NE PUISSE PAS RÉPONDRE. CONQUEROR EST TRÈS BON CONTRE LUI. NE LUI FAITE JAMAIS FACE IL VA FALLOI LE KITE ET JOUER AVEC LUI ET ESQUIVEZ SES Q. LES BOTTES DE MERCURES FONCTIONNE BIEN CONTRE LUI. Tahm kench top est rare de nos jours, mais quand il était méta, il était broken. Il est chiant car il possède un shield représentant ses pv il peut vous maintenir a son corp a corp et il fait des dégâts en pv max il vous détruit au corp a corp il va donc falloir jouer avec le conqueror et vos stacks. Mais le bon côté, s'il perd la lane vous pouvez simplement le chain kill encore et encore. Ne prenez pas le coup de langue, car le slow peut parfois amener votre mort. Touchez un maximum de Q derrière vos sbires pour qu'il ne puisse pas riposter. S'il devient trop tanky pour tuer, couperet noir sera un bon achat contre lui. Vous le battez au niveau 6 avec votre ultime si vous esquivez ses capacités. Tahm kench a également une mobilité inexistante en faisant de la viande de qualité pour votre jungle si il passe dans le coin car il n'aura aucun moyen de s'enfuir.”

KillMeKillMe says “He's just as tanky as you, if not more so. he can deal good damage, he has shielding and sustain to deal with poke. He can use his ult to spit you into his turret and it deals percent health damage.
His Q slows you and heals him for percent missing health.
His W let's him dive to a location, avoid this. It's knock up, stun, deal damage, and refund some of his mana if it hits. He can't do anything for 0.65 seconds after diving though, so you have some time to get away or attack if you dodge it.
His E lets him get a huge shield or, if he hasn't taken damage for 4 seconds, possibly heal up to full. Keep hitting him when he's low.
He can also swallow an ally and give them a shield, but generally people use it on enemies.
I'm explaining the abilities because they're all very good and understanding how they work is very important against a good tahm kench.”

Bombabo says “Although he lost his devour on W, his knockup is very easy to hit on Urgot, and his Q healing makes him a tough guy to take down. Play very safe early game, even if it means giving up some farm. He will likely be VERY aggressive, because he can afford it”

XtheZ115 says “Ah, my other main. Kench is one tough customer, but his weakness is Singed's main strength- being kited. However, if he does make you actually fight him-
When he eats you, your Q still deals damage while you are inside him. So long as he doesn't spit you out under his tower, you will be fine laning against him. Note that his sustain will make for an uneventful top lane if you lane against him, provided he tries to build against you. ”

Lupus_ToplaneMain says “After his rework, he is really powerfull and his passive isnt red anymore when its on 3 stacks. This makes it harder to see. His W knock-ups when u are in the circle, which makes it a good parry, but it can be a hard parry. Its a hard matchup and his ult (eating you) is VERY STRONG. disengage if you have maxed stacks of his passive on you.”

SettVEVO says “Be wary of his early levels as he does unexpected damage. He is a laning phase champion which means he is really good at laning, but falls off on teamfights, that is unless you feed him then he will be a terror for your teammates as well. I advise to play safe if you aren't confident against him. If he is low and hasn't popped his shield you can actually E stun into W to kill him before he can pop it, you can also ult right after W if he still survived it. Be mindful of his W it takes a long cast and is predictable, you can also cancel it with E and R if he is using it to run away. Always E stun before W so he doesn't shield your W damage. A good ult target as he will have health in his items.”

SethPRG says “A bit stronger than previous Season because of buffed tank items, so it's very hard to win a 1v1 if he has hail of blades or ignite, just don't take any dumb early trades with him in lane and you'll be fine. Let him shove in on your tower, just make sure you can CS under your tower and dodge his Q poke or you won't have a good time. Goredrinker is your best mythic for this matchup as you'll want to use your ult to set up good engages. Divine Sunderer could be your alternative Mythic Item if he is armor stacking and the enemy team comp can easily dodge your ult engage. Past level 6 you should be able to fight him and win so long as you're not behind, just try to E cancel one of his AA to delay him voring you for as long as possible. If you let him shove then eat you, you can use your ult to throw him into your tower, but good players aren't stupid enough to do that, so it's best to save your R to dodge Tahm's Q stun. Just be careful of his roaming potential from his ult, and don't push too far in lane or when splitting with him absent or he might bring a friend to say hi to you. His utility in team fights is pretty terrible other than being able to become a meat shield and saving someone in his belly for a few seconds. He can also be used as a nuke for the enemy backline. He really doesn't have utility unless he gets three stacks from his passive, so if you engage on his team he has to respond and by then it will probably already be too late, your team will have secured the fight. Take Mercury Treads and eventually go Abyssal Mask.”

Zaloufi says “This champ counter every toplaner in early game, even Darius can't trade him without a skill gap. You really need to dodge his Q because of the slow (or even the stun) to win the trade in early game. His E has low cooldown so he can clutch even at lvl 6 with your ult.

Otherwise, by simply being able to dodge his Q skillshot, Tahm doesn't really have any other tool to get on top of you and coupled with his bad scaling allows you to win this matchup.”

Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Tahm kench is moderately annoying with his Q stun and W eat, but if you don't let him stack his passive, you easily out damage him, and his ultimate gives him no extra kill potential, so your level six is a huge powerspike compared to his. ”

Penguinoverlord1 says “He can kill you very quickly early game and get out of control if you don't respect his level 1-3 potential. Just try to stay out of his range early game and don't over commit on any trades as he favors extended trades. You probably won't be able to kill Kench in lane without your jungler so just try to poke him off with your grunts and your E in order to cs.”

qasddsa says “Get an early Blade of the Ruined King, dodge his tongue, and stay out of melee range. Don't get greedy if you start to get low since he can easily turn on you with gray health. In lane, harass him as much as you can without being attacked or tongued.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Tahm Kench top used to be a thing if I'm not wrong last season, where he can obliterate all other toplaners and there was close to no counter play to him (I remember perma banning him), but he got severly nerfed and he's not really played toplane anymore except of some One Tricks or Auto Filled Supports. As for laning Phase just make sure yo farm behind minons to dodge his Q poke and try to not get him to Devour you since he will just Regurgitate you away from your tower and stack his Passive on you, Respect his damage since its a lot for being able to play as a Top and Sup. Similar to Pantheon or Rengar, once they will hit 6 and you played passive all lane they will look to Roam so make sure you have vision on River and ping a lot to your team whenever he's not in lane. Once you get lvl 6 and Sheen spike you can look to do trades against him, usually short ones never work since he has his E but the way to beat it is to do consistant short trades, usually look to alternate between a normal autoattack, Q and E to prevent him of healing himself to the point he is low enough Nasus can Flash + Q kill him or he has to back off, just be careful if you try to do this really hard while close to his torret, he can Devour and Regurgitate into his tower but usually Nasus wins the All Ins. Later on to the game his teamfight isn't the best but he does have really good peeling for his ADC or Backline so keep that in mind, Splitting against him is the key, since he doesn't have enough damage to take Nasus down and even if he pokes you to chunk you to half HP, just Lifesteal with Legend Bloodline + Nasus Passive back to full and you should be fine, you outscale him quite hard.”

Grayified says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Do not look for fights or trades with tahm kench. Make sure that when he applies a stack on you that you let it fall off before walking in his range again. The only trade you should take with tahm kench is an auto attack + spin out when you are going for a minion to farm. Try to let tahm kench push you in always, if the wave is starting to push towards him that is bad. He can all in you very well and he wins short trades and extended trades. Only chance you have of beating him is with jungle ganks or if he runs out of mana. If you can, swap with your mid laner (if your mid laner can handle tahm kench) as you will most likely have an easier time against any other opponent than tahm kench. You do not outscale tahm kench in the 1v1, but you do outscale him in team fights. Tahm kench does not have good scaling in a fight where you can destroy squishies. When splitting go opposite side of the map where tahm kench is and use your mobility to outrotate him as much as possible.

Swaim says “Tahm's laning phase is insane. You should be able to win pre 6 but after that the entire lane is a nightmare for an Aatrox player. He has good sustain, he's really tanky and his damage is crazy. For teamfighting however, Tahm is pretty much useless compared to Aatrox. Try to farm up and play to outscale him. Mid to late game he shouldn’t be much trouble to fight.”

qazx1427 says “Off-meta is off-meta for a reason. Tahm Kench can, and will, 100-0 you if he gets in range, but he can't. He lands a Q on you, he's going to run forward since that's his only engage, so you can just W him and remove his health bar. Your ult does max health damage, and he can't stack his passive on it, so your L6 just destroys him. To make things even better, he's a HP stacker, so you can just buy Liandry's to watch him die even quicker. Much like Darius, this is a very, very satisfying lane.”

Daedralus says “Although this guy can pack quite a punch, he is not very fast at it especially early on with high cool-downs and no real attack speed. You want to shut this guy down tho or he can be a problem with his tanky nature. Save your E damage reduction for when he gets 3 stacks so you aren't damaged as much from his lick + swallow. Go for early harassment and dodge his lick as much as possible to force him out of lane. Your Q is your friend here for healing and you might want to get W second for attack speed and passive regeneration. Your attack speed and his overall low base MS will be what brings him down. ”

Hamstertamer says “Borderline unplayable early game. TK makes melees cry, outtrades them, zones them, and eats them. But then, they just picked TK toplane, so it's kind of a "win lane lose game" pick. Tough it up, only thing he can do is be annoying, he can't kill you unless you mess up hard. Short trades are good so take them, just walk away immediately and disengage with W if needed so he'll never stack his passive. An early MR item is a must.”

Hugys says “Tahm can be quite the problem to deal with due to his passive. "An Acquired Taste" which after hitting a target and stacking up to 3 times, will allow him to swallow you. You have to understand that he can also gain additional effects from these 3 stacks with his other abilities. Allowing him to stun and kite you down with very little effort. I personally recommend building PTA allowing you to deal with his tank side and also the ability to out kite him with ghost. He becomes a real threat late in the game due to his tank-on-hit nature with wit's end. Remember he is full AP do not build armor against him, that would be a mistake, since all of his abilities deal %health as AP. You can take other runes, but you really should take it into consideration of whether you want to shut him out of the early and mid game, or deal with him never an hope your team can take him out. Use minions to block his tongue lash, never stay near him when he paths towards you, back off because he will win these trades if you let him touch you.”

E61K says “Start Doran's Blade and go for Conqueror. Believe it or not but this fat catfish counters you. Generally you won't lane against him but if you do keep in mind that Top Kench has one of the strongest laning Phases out of all champions. His post level 3 all-in is more powerful than yours so respect it. At 6 it isn't won either since he effectively has 2 health bars and Darius hates a lot of health. If he snowballs on you you're gonna get destroyed in lane. In this lane you either just accept the fact that you can't fight him early and farm until you have your core or you dodge his Q's by side-stepping them or fighting in your minion wave. Tahm might be a beast in lane but he scales like garbage and he has no real waveclear. He can also save teammates from your R if he is quick enough. This is one of the very few matchups where I would think about building BORK at some point. Luckily for you almost nobody plays Tahm Top because, aside from a few very good matchups for him, it's troll.”

SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: High base damage early, Great Sustain. Inherently tanky. Instant CC on devour, Grey Health + Shield. Weaknesses: Out-scaled, Utility ultimate, Low mobility. He is a matchup that is designed to beat you in lane. You will have a very difficult time winning any extended trades against him early because of his passive and grey health. You do not want to be in a position where he can get multiple passive stacks on you. Never let him get you to 3 passive stacks unless you are committed to an All-in. There is no point in trying to riposte his Devour once you are at full passive stacks because it is extremely difficult to do so. It would be more beneficial to Riposte one of his auto attacks when you are at 1 or 0 stacks so that the attack speed slow makes it that much more difficult for him to stack his passive in the first place. Primarily Q poke for vitals and focus on farming early so once you hit your one to two item power-spike you can split-push against him easily.”

Velkyann says “Tahm Kench is just an annoying lane until level 6, you cant get very close to the minions because of his W, i would recommend rushing Boots to try and dodge his W, also be carefull of his Q poke and stacks of passive.”

T1vladimir says “You can put a minion between you and Tahm Kench in order to dodge his QTips. As soon as he uses his ETips, disengage and wait for his shield to fade. After his shield is gone, you can engage him back, he will be vulnerable. If you manage to dodge his WTips, you can kite him. Do not try head to head fight with him, he is better at long trades so keep your trades very short or just push your lane and try to win the minion war.”

gizemdeniz says “Other than his Dive ability, he has no other equipment to challenge us. We can easily evade his slow passive in the bot lane. Poking from afar without getting too close would be the best strategy for Ahri.”

Fenreee says “|||TOP||| Tahm Kench is fairly annoying but Janna benefits from sustained fights aswell as playing around champions that typically play well into tanks so he's not a huge issue. You can cancel his W by using Q or R. Swifties are nice as they prevent him from catching you. Make sure not to waste your W as the movementspeed is very valuable against him.”
0
Roltu says “Tahm kench puede ser un problema con thresh en fase de late debido a su R que tiene un enfriamiento muy bajo, dejando eso de lado, es un matchup bastante fácil a inicios de partida.
Prioriza corta curaciones ya que se cura con la Q y siempre te intentara golpear con ella”

NotAragami says “Not a lot of people plays Tahm Kench these days as he's remodeled from a troll pick to... something. He has really good engaging tools and soaks up extreme amount of damage, most people don't really use his new W due to how slow it is. Mind his Q though as it chunks you a lot of HP in early game. ”

OakuMarai says “Very strong engage and annoying poke for tank standards. Otherwise not much of a problem. Guardian with celerity. If you see him using W try to evade. If he does engage, CC his adc.”

Rissen says “Tahm Kench can punish you for your small mistakes, your movement and engages are vital against this champion.”

Demonsedge90 says “He just has too many surprises up his sleeve. This matchup requires a lot of patience and timing of your skills. You can interrupt his w with any of your engage skills (q, e, and r), which can sometimes turn the fight in your favor. Still watch his movements closely prior to ulting or stunning him since missing a key skill could mean certain death against him.”

Bella Starlily says “Tahm isn't bad to lane against, stand behind minions so he can't hit you with Qs and watch out for when he jumps so he doesn't catch you off guard.”
0
Cordiall says “Another lane that just goes boringly even. There isn't much you two can do against each other. Just try not to stand there and let him get 3 stacks on you and you should be okay. He wins most extended fights, so just take short trades and go for an all-in to punish bad positioning, rather than forcing a fight.”

Ionia King says “Not much Tahm can do to stop your mobility, just don't stay near him long enough to get eaten and you're fine.”

DtNikk says “Avoid getting hit by Tahm's Q. Whenever Tahm uses his W you can either:
1. Put your E on top of Tahm to stop it
2. Put your E on his destination to Silence and Root him.
Either suport item is a good choice. ”

Saethwyr says “While Taric does excell against melee champions who want to stay in, the main issue with tahm is tahm also does damage early too somehow. Don't try to overextend fights and keep an eye on your own mana because the second you're out you hard lose any fight against him.”

Nozul says “Apenas não tome o W dele e você vai se sair bem e não se exponha na lane. Se você tomar o Q dele, vai levar muito slow, além do dano alto da skill. Fazer um corta-cura também é bom por conta do E dele.”

TheBlueImperial says “Since his rework he can't really do much against you, he can't eat his allies until level 6 and his W takes way too long to go off to counter your W. Freely engage onto him or his carry pre-6 and save your Q to pop his shield.”
0
Winter Nicole says “Tahm Kench: He can be so annoying because he's a tank supp and all you can do is stun them so try healing your teammate a lot and be careful with his ult. (Recommend playing it safe but also try to get some stuns in so your adc can do damage on them)”

Mystral says “Q him when he gets closer and W if he tries to eat you/your adc.”

Doglightning says “take barrier/ignite. Honestly the lane isn't that bad but I put him as extreme because he will deny you kills all game. His ability to eat allies you sleep is definitely a hard coutner to your playstyle.”

LimTheDestructor says “Play the game slowly, you outscale unfed Tahm and he's pretty useless in lane unless you heavily underestimate his engage potential. Whenever he starts a fight, stop Tahm's engage on your adc or engage his adc to force him to defend. In longer fights, wait with using Q when Tahm has low hp. Use it right before he will use Grey health to disable this ability and kill him in stun.”
0
warmfishu says “He can teleport with Abyssal Dive (W), which will knock up any enemies underneath him. Watch out for if he dives, especially from out of vision. Must have quick reaction time once you see the teleport marker. He may also carry other enemy teammates when he dives. Tongue Lash (Q) by itself will not reset Yuumi's W, but, with 3 stacks, Tahm Kench can eat you (R), which does reset W, and potentially spit you out into dangerous positions. Poke down with Q and make sure not to go off alone.”
0
iKonek says “Tahm Kench is a relatively hard person to lane against in the sense that he can deny you kills by eating his teammate and bringing them to safety. I would put him higher, but he has two problems when facing Thresh. The first being he can't ult away as you can hook him to disrupt the channel. Secondly, if he tries to save his carry, you can hook him in, thus hooking him and his carry within him to you. This can turn a normal kill into a double kill for you if played correctly.”
0
Rasta Da Masta says “Things to watch out for are his Q slow & his R CC. His resiliency to poke works for you since you can just get paid by hitting him. And if he uses W to run away/engage, knock him towards/away from you.”
0
LegendaryOstrich says “Like..just dodge if you go against him LOL!
If you land a hook on anyone other than him he will eat them and save them. You CAN go in on the hook if you want to follow but usually not smart. This is an easy lane if you guys are focusing Tahm in small trades but not if you try to burst him first.”
0
lin00 says “Avoid getting poked out with his Q. Tahm makes it very difficult to all in onto the ADC since he can cancel your hook by eating the ADC. ”
0
Korippo says “Really out of meta right now, especially after his rework. His teleport that knocks up is rather short range and it is predictable due to you being able to see exactly where he comes up. If you're with a dash/blink champ such as Vayne/Ezreal, he will pretty much be useless except for saving his ADC, but otherwise getting his poke off is almost impossible. You can bully him pretty hard but being a tank he's not really the priority; his job is pretty much to take all of the poke and use his shields and devour to keep his ADC from dying. His slow can be quite obnoxious at times but that's about it, overall not a very scary thing to be going against right now.”
0
CorgiBorgi says “He can eat the person you Q'ed so throw you Q's wisely. Also use your E for anyone about to get stunned/eaten.”

Eforie says “If he just miss his w hes dead. Anyone still play this champ on support role???”

Flackojodye says “this champion is bad even after the rework. Respect his engage with his new W though.”

Arcurath says “Pretty much a free lane, he cant get anywhere near you to try eat you.
Dont waste combo on adc just slow and double bomb him and its usually free kills he cant do anything about it.”
0
0Banda says “On a normal meta Tahm Kench should be a difficult matchup, bet he's winrate is so low actually that he won't cause you much problems, roam as much as possible before level 6, because once on level 6 he gets he's R which counter-roams you a lot, even though, this ability has 140 seconds of cooldown so you can make use of this.
Against Tahm Kench you should build as usual, and in the rune section you could take Unflinching if the enemy team has even more CC than this gentleman frog”
0
bobsalad says “Somewhat annoying if they are playing with Senna but otherwise just useless and you can poke him for free.”
0
ARealFakeIdentity says “Tahm Kench causes massive threat to the team, with his large amount of health and damage he can virtually ignore you, you could buy Sorcerer's shoes or a Void Staff to prevent him ignoring you, but also need to be aware that a Tahm Kench could easily turn around and kill you if you do not have enough Tankiness.”
0
Biotic says “Together with Braum very insane matchups. You can abuse him and immobalize him so his W isuseless. Be carefull if he gets meele and builds up stacks. Just cc him and go on distance again. You can roam in lane, he cant really punish your adc. If you gank make sure to focus Tahm.”
0
DeusSciMachina says “When dealing with him as a support, stun him and proc your passive as much as possible. Other lanes, near unkillable.”
0
Guoblide says “Tahm Kench is a fairly easy matchup for Braum mainly due to Tahm Kench just not being a very good champion at the moment. Braum is mainly just a better Warden support with better stats and a better kit. Tahm Kench is a tanky Warden support who is used as a [targeted [Zhonya's Hourglass]] dispenser due to his Devour providing amazing peel for his carries. Tahm Kench spikes at Level 2 where he gains access to Devour which is his main peeling tool, Level 3 where Thick Skin (For a thick boy :D) makes him significantly harder to kill, and Level 6 where he gains access to his long range reposition tool Abyssal Voyage. Tahm Kench also spikes at Level 9 where he maxes out Tongue Lash which changes the slow from 30% to an amazing 70%, Level 11 where Abyssal Voyage's range becomes way larger, and finally at Level 16 where Abyssal Voyage's range increases so much it basically becomes a global ult. In lane Braum should focus on poking the enemy ADC and pressuring them off of the wave with Winter's Bite. He can also poke Tahm Kench if the opportunity provides itself. Winter's Bite deals more damage than Tongue Lash so taking a 1 for 1 trade is usually beneficial for Braum. At Level 2 Braum gains Unbreakable which can block Tongue Lash. This makes trading significantly easier and allows Braum to exert even more pressure on the enemy laners. Tahm Kench is a defensive champion and does get out-scaled so engaging on him isn't necessary but is good if the opportunity provides itself. Be aware that Tahm Kench can Devour his ADC and spit them to safety if Braum lands a Concussive Blows stun so some trades may seem better than they appear. Tahm Kench can use the same Devour tactic against Glacial Fissure post Level 6 so Braum should only really look for picks when Devour is on cooldown. Keep in mind that Devour has a flat 20 second cooldown so it is fairly easy to track (Can be changed by Ability Haste though).”
0
Spection says “Watch for his Q. If he walks up on you and is able to devour you, the chances are quite good you'll die. His threat is very low and he is quite tanky, meaning it is easy to run away from him so long as you can dodge the incoming q's. Spam your Q against him, has zero mobility. You can interrupt his ultimate as well. ”

Doody_tco says “Tahm Kench is tanky and poke and creates opportunities for his carry, but it is possible to survive him and Yuumi out scales him”

KeleiX13 says “Tahm Kench can't do anything to you in lane unless you for some reason walk into melee range and let him stack his passive on you and eat you which should never happen unless you get CC'd, so just go as aggressive as can. Unless you're confident you can burst his ADC down quickly, ult Tahm instead since Tahm can just eat his ADC if you tried to kill them and didn't burst them down quick enough.”
0
LilRidge says “When facing a Tahm Kench you have to engage on him first as if you engage on his ADC he can just (W) Devour them and spew them away.
Engage on him whenever you can as he is very weak in the early game and is very susceptible to CC.
Save your (Q) Shattering Strike when you do engage on him as his Thick Skin shield is huge and lasts a while so you would want to break it to finish him.”

Poke him all you want, he can't do anything about it.
Lvl 6 he doesn't have an ultimate, her R at rank 1 is REALLY short distance, abuse that to do an all in lvl 6.
If he eats you or your ADC then he doesn't have it for his ADC, and when your ADC is inside Tahm Kench and you're attach to him, you can heal him in order to save him.
Rush Mikael's Blessing.
You outscale him since lvl 1, it's a free matchup.”

Takitsu says “Play towards your tower. Tahm kench has a lot more health and shielding than Thresh. Save your flay for chain cc with your hook. If you Flay Tahm Kench, he can W onto you for free. Flay should only be used with hook on him.”

EionThePepega says “Tahm can't really do much. His shield doesn't count as health so your W will still do amazing damage and you can root him if he over extends for a little lick. The only problem his is ability to move around with R along with his ADC (or another enemy).”
0
xDopii says “Very tanky and can eat his teammate out of your engages. Avoid standing close to him if he has Hail of Blades or is in range of his Tongue Lash. Do not underestimate this matchup, as he has very high CC and burst damage. His shield will also deny your own burst.”

Jexeff says “Tahm Kench is one of the best champions to deal with Thresh's hook. He can simply eat his ally out of your CC and walk away with them as if nothing had ever happened. In addition getting close can put you in a bad spot since he might be able to eat you up if you arent careful. Look to hook him from long ranges and let you ADC poke him down while he is CC'd. Only take the hook if you feel that you will be able to kill him. Be careful though he is quite tanky and relatively hard to dive due to his ability giving him grey health to survive.”

itizhelia says “You can't kill him if he knows what he's doing and he can also eat his ally in order to say no to your knock-up or charm. But try to see his reaction by doing a fast W engage in the lane phase. If he fails to react often then his ADC is really vulnerable to your all-ins however if he's a good Tahm Kench then you pretty much have to play for the mid-late game phase and do nothing in the laning phase.”

KajiKumihoAkukei says “Tahm Kench is really no fun to lane against as Nautilus. If you engage on him you won't get much out of hit due to his tankiness. If you engage on his ADC, he'll devour her and it's over. Advise: make plays elsewhere, but be aware that Tahm Kench can match your roams with his ult.”

Xeptron says “UNBENCH THE KENCH! Tahm is a tanky, melee support that protects his AD with his THICK skin. Despite being annoying swallower, he has very hard time to play against poke champions. As Thresh, you don't poke as much but with extra help you can kill Tahm. Later into the laning phase, he can become so tanky to the point where he isn't affraid to anymore. Early game is where Tahm is the weakest. If you can get early advantage of him, lane goes into your favour.”

DracoMeteor_ says “Tahm isn't in the greatest spot, but the chances of you fighting a Tahm and them being a decent support are low. But if you do end up fighting one, try to poke him out as much as you can like other tanks so they don't have the HP to sustain a fight long enough for their ADC to do something, unless the ADC is already fed. If that's the case don't take fights.”

Guoblide says “Tahm Kench can be a hard matchup for Sett sometimes due to his great peel but Sett can easily just out-duel him and make better plays throughout all stages of the game. Levels 1 and 2 are favored for Tahm Kench but after that short period of time Sett can easily roll over him for the rest of the laning phase. At levels 1 and 2 Sett should try to stick with his ADC and farm up behind the minion wave in order to avoid poke from Tongue Lash. Once Sett hits level 3 look to make a play with Knuckle Down or Flash. Try to save Facebreaker and bait Tahm Kench into using Devour. If Tahm Kench does Devour his ADC then he is massively slowed which make cutting him off from his tower very easy. Once Tahm Kench spits his ADC back out land an easy Facebreaker onto both of them and hopefully get a kill. Hitting Tahm Kench with the center of your Haymaker can deal massive damage due to the True Damage going through his Stone Skin and tanky stats. At level 6 Tahm Kench gets access to Abyssal Voyage which can make roaming to mid lane and objetives a little bit easier. Note that the range on level 1 Abyssal Voyage isn't very far so the ability doesn't really become scary until Tahm Kench hits level 11. During teamfights Tahm Kench is a great target for Show Stopper due to him being hard to kill and extremely tanky. The Show Stoppering him into his backline can create massive AOE damage and set up for an easy Facebreaker. If Tahm Kench opts to sit next to his ADC in order to peel for them then try and The Show Stopper the Tahm Kench and then run back to duel his ADC.”

Kilo Khaos says “Tahm Kench is a relatively hard person to lane against in the sense that he can deny you kills by eating his teammate and bringing them to safety. I would put him higher, but he has two problems when facing Thresh. The first being he can't ult away as you can hook him to disrupt the channel. Secondly, if he tries to save his carry, you can hook him in, thus hooking him and his carry within him to you. This can turn a normal kill into a double kill for you if played correctly.”

moon827 says “Tahm kench is your run of the mill tank support, with a kind of unique kit.

0
KajiKumihoAkukei says “While Tahm Kench doesn't offer much in the form of damage during the laning phase he is still one of the most annoying champions to play against.
This is due to the fact that Tahm Kench offers so much safety in lane. If you land a hook on his AD carry, he will just devour them and walk away, denying almost every form of engage.”

You can't really engage on him otherwise you'll be eaten, but on the same note, there's not too much he can do to you as long as you keep your distance. His Q and W poke is alright but costs too much mana for him to keep up. All in all, this would be farm lane if the match-up itself was dependent on you two alone. Just remember to keep him away from your ADC and to keep some distance from him yourself so you don't end up in his belly.”

Zefirez says “Normally little is as scary for engage tank then seeing Tahm in his lane. He will stack his passive on you or adc and then start doing brutal damage and eat or stun you. But much like with Braum, you have ways to make his life miserable too.
Tahm is all about his devour. Playing around it can net you some nice results.
He ate his ally? No better time to go for a flip, pulling both of them away from safety!
He is chasing you or your adc? Roar at him making the chase unbearable under your slow (he can slow harder then you, but he has no speed ups like you!)
If Tahm goes for slowing power first (Tongue lash) his devour will have insane long cooldown - after he uses it you got a big fat window to engage on adc!
Ps. His ult channel can be interrupted with damage!
