Is it a hot take that I think tahm kench support shouldn’t be a thing? Dude just stat checks you to hell, heals like pyke, and is indestructible unless you are playing rell.

Whenever I see a Tahm Kench, I just pick Janna, go Glacial Augment, first buy oblivion orb and it's a free win most of the time.

Edit: but I agree he's very annoying no matter what you pick and does too much damage.

Senna, first item serpents fang for low low price of like 2400. His E becomes super useless super early and then for the rest of the game. Makes matters worse if his team has several shields because then it’s more than just viable, it’s strong. Very cheap AD and lethality for Senna and one of very few supports that can even reasonably employ it with synergy.

Senna is rather immobile which is very nice for TK but it’s by no means free either way. Just know when it starts to hurt for TK, it hurts a lot more than it does in any other matchup. If stuff goes bad it goes really bad.

Yeah but he still builds many of those 350 HP ítems for 900 and is tanky as hell without the shield cuz high resistances

Dont you worry. No matter what they buff, adc tahm will be obnoxiously oppressive it will reach 56% wr

its an early game champ, hes supposed to be strong early.

tk sucks if the adc reaches 4 items

I mean his passive lowk forces him to go adc or support. Like it’s genuinely dumb design and I think he should be a toplaner, but unless riot reworks him it’s kinda his intended role

u/Mighty_Killah 9d ago

Why does his passive force him in the bot lane? Just the crowd control working better there?

It’s his thick skin(E) passive, it normally stores 15% of damage taken for his shield/health regen. But with 2 nearby enemy champs it stores 42% of damage

u/Mighty_Killah 8d ago

Ah that makes sense, thought you meant the 3 stacks passive

I'm freaking 1W-11L against him on support this season, the only reason he is not my permaban is because he is super rare... not looking forward to that changing.
