Learn how to Tahm Kench counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Position behind minions when laning against Tahm Kench — his Q stops at the first enemy hit, preventing him from applying slow, stun, and passive stacks which are crucial for his all-in potential.
Basic Lane Phase
Track how many passive stacks Tahm Kench has applied to you — at 3 stacks, his Q can stun you for 1.5 seconds and his R can suppress you, dramatically increasing his threat level.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Disengage immediately when Tahm Kench activates his E shield — fighting him during the 2.5-second shield is inefficient as it absorbs a significant amount of damage that could otherwise kill him.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Burst Tahm Kench quickly when his E is on cooldown — his shield has a 3-second cooldown, creating a window where he's significantly more vulnerable to concentrated damage.
Skirmish Team Fight
Tahm Kench's W (Abyssal Dive) has a 1.35-second channel time and enemies can see the destination indicator after 0.75 seconds, giving you time to move away from the landing spot.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Be especially wary of Tahm Kench's W from fog of war — you can only see the destination indicator if you can see him channeling, making these engages much harder to avoid.
Skirmish Team Fight
Punish Tahm Kench after he uses his W — it has a long cooldown (21-17 seconds if he doesn't hit champions), creating a window where he has limited mobility and engage potential.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Fight Tahm Kench in groups rather than alone — he can only Devour one target at a time with his R, greatly reducing his effectiveness against multiple opponents.
Team Fight Late Game
At level 6, Tahm Kench gains a major power spike with his R (Devour), allowing him to suppress enemies with 3 stacks or protect allies from damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Kite Tahm Kench between his W uses — outside of Abyssal Dive and the movement speed from devouring allies, he has no mobility skills and can be effectively kept at a distance.
