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.
