Playing against Tahm Kench

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Don't let Tahm stack 3 autos on you: at 3 stacks, his Q stuns and he can swallow you with R.

2

His W knockup has a visible ground indicator — get out of the zone before he arrives.

3

Tahm Kench is slow and has no mobility outside of his W — kite him from range.

4

If he swallows an ally to save them, burst HIM while he's carrying the ally: he's vulnerable.
