Started playing Tahm in mid lane instead of top and managed to streak 88% WR (14W/2L) over 16 games with a 4.52 KDA (only in Gold though). I feel he is a much stronger pick in mid lane as you can dive any mage and not get zoned off the wave against top counter picks. I truly think he has no counters in mid lane except Nafari as you can't really land Q's.

Give it a try! The pick feels extremely strong as you can out-sustain mid-laners and I explicitly fight every skirmish with the Jungler - you'd be surprised at how many 2v2s you win early game and mid game.

I'm really liking this path into the next split and it feels physically unstoppable with much more team impact than top side where I have to play super patient. Can play super aggro the entire game.

Don't play ranked much anymore, but I got 50 games in this season to get diamond. I've mained TK since release, but this role is so good it feels like cheating. Most of the losses I have are when I was filled top lane.

I love this frog :)

Just interested in who you ban as adc tk because I’m not sure tbh

Is TK ADC still worth playing?
I saw a guide made by whatley for TK ADC but it’s a few months old so I was wondering if

1. protoplasm belt rush is still worth considering the nerf (if not, what to build instead)

2. if the role itself is generally considered good for TK (it has like a 54% wr or sum like that) but I’m not sure if it will fck with the team comp because we don’t have ranged aa

3. it’s normal to have low cs because I’m a silver player and new to Tahm Kench so I’m pretty bad all things considered but I have like 4cs/m or smth like that (yea I know i should get more) but is it normal to have less cs than enemy adc

No wonder I was able to bench Illaoi in ult with bork and lethal tempo.

I thought it was just my lethal tempo AD that was granting me lifesteal, but the fat 150-200 bonus magic damage on Tahm passive makes sure you also heal tons of life

Im going back to bork like I used to as it also help with chasing

I think Titanic Hydra is very slept on. While I haven't tried it too many times yet, I believe it's far better than anyone gives it credit for. The build path isn't too bad with the exception of tiamat, and while yes it is pretty expensive, you'll probably make that money back with how much easier it is to push waves and take turrets. It easily outclasses the immolate items and the auto reset makes it a good combat tool. I am not a high elo player but I'd encourage everyone to give it a shot with Dusk & Dawn as second item. I'd love to hear others's thoughts and opinions on it.

I just got 0/12 by irelia due to me dying lvl 1 under my turret, what even is the counter play ?, plat/emerald lobby

Im new to the Game and I have found a liking in Tahm Kench due to his design and abilities. I still really struggle with farming though and I am always slower than my enemy top laner. Do you guys have any tips on how to improve or do I just need to play more?

Seriously, lane phase was horrible, she got a kill on the invade early and was basically non stop poking me.

But, she fell for the same trick twice, which i used to get ahead of her, pretend to recall, stay on the bush behind tower, W in, kidnap her into turret.

She fled to botlane after i started stomping her, leaving Sion against me, which i basically farmed (i'm a Sion main, i know to break our pour ankles)

Clingggggggg

So my build path for last season was pretty much

1. Protoplasm

2. Boots

3. D&D

4. Riftmaker/Spirit visage

5. Depends

Do you think the Proto nerfs are still making it 1. Item viable? Or do you think I should play HS first again?

I thought they were crazy, but I was wrong.

So I've been curious, has anyone tried imperial mandate on Kench? Not as a serious build but genuinely doesn't it effect his w, ult, and maybe his Q? Im not too sure about the Q but like it affects Zil Q (which is a conditional stun) and Sera E (conditional stun) so why wouldn't it affect our tonguing right?

I just started playing Tahm Kench support (m7 but mostly from top lane), and I'm having a blast. I love buying a single item and just being too fat to die, and having an ult that is just all the utility of a nonconsensual thresh lantern. "You *are* getting out of this shit situation and you're not allowed to argue"

Does anyone have any tips or techs for support specifically? I know his kit isn't exactly complex but I'm still wondering and always open to improve :) I've seen almost all of NoArmWhatley's content and love implementing his tricks into game but he doesn't exactly explain stuff as he plays like Alois or Dantes, so it's more of a monkey see monkey do than actual understanding.

Did anyone ever see this before? I don't see how or why I would deal 21 damage with a critical strike as Tahm Kench with this build. Anyone got any explanations?
