Tahm Kench • counters

Ensure you’re always behind a minion so it is harder for him to land his Q. If he is able to land his Q, he may look for a fight.

As soon as Tahm Kench activates his Grey Health 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 doesn’t spike at level 6 like most champions. If you have a damaging Ultimate, you will win the level 6 fight.

Lookout for flanks as Tahm Kench will often flank in a team fight to get onto the enemy backline. Ward the side and retreat if he walks forward and tries to Q anybody.

Avoid overextending alone in the mid lane without your team as he may use his Ultimate R aggressively and get behind you to catch you out of position.

Try to burst Tahm Kench down before he is able to activate his E. CC is your best friend and he will not be able to activate it if he is locked down with CC.

Tahm will have increased trading power once he has completed components for his first item. Expect him to play slightly more aggressive once he has got them.

At level 6, Tahm Kench doesn’t get a good Ultimate R. If you’re strong at level 6, you can easily win a fight.

Tahm Kench will be really good in team fights as his W can save an ally. Avoid committing to a fight unless his W is on cooldown.
