+ Funny and interesting dialogue
+ Pairs well with fed jungler/carry
+ Surprisingly mobile
+ Peel God
+ Amazing lore
+ Really fun to play
+ Is unlikely to get gutted with nerfs
+ Insane kill pressure
+ Super good against split-up teams


- Telegraphed abilities
- Hard time following slippery champs in the early game
- Cant do much if the enemy team stays together or is clumped
- Very little scaling

Passive:
An Acquired Taste
INNATE:
Tahm Kench's basic attacks deal 8-60 (based on level) (+2.5% of bonus health) bonus magic damage.
PASSIVE:
Tongue Lash and basic attacks against enemy champions apply
An Acquired Taste stack for 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times, with the duration refreshing on
Tongue Lash and subsequent attacks. The stacks decay once every 0.67 seconds when the duration ends.
Tongue Lash and
Devour gain additional effects against enemies with 3 stacks.

PASSIVE:






Q Ability:
Tongue Lash
ACTIVE:
Tahm Kench lashes his tongue in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 50% for 2 seconds, as well as healing himself if an enemy champion is hit.
If an enemy champion is struck while at three
An Acquired Taste stacks, all of their stacks are consumed to stun them for 1.5 seconds.
During
Tongue Lash,
Devour can be cast at no cost to swallow the target enemy champion hit while at 3
An Acquired Taste stacks after pulling them towards him.
Tongue Lash's range and travel speed can be increased by
Tahm Kench's size.

ACTIVE:

If an enemy champion is struck while at three

During



Tongue Lash's range and travel speed can be increased by


W Ability:
Abyssal Dive
ACTIVE:
Tahm Kench dives into the waters, channeling for 1.35 seconds and upon completion blinking to the target location, emerging after a 0.15-second delay and remaining unable to act for 0.65 seconds after the channel completes.
Upon emerging from the depths,
Tahm Kench deals magic damage to nearby enemies and knocks them up and stuns them for 1 second. If at least one enemy champion is hit,
Abyssal Dive refunds 40% of its cooldown and mana cost.
Enemies can see the indicator for
Tahm Kench's destination after he has channeled for 0.75 seconds.
Tahm Kench grants sight of the area during the channel.
"Boy, the world's one river, and I'm its king. Ain't no place I ain't been; ain't no place I can't go again."

ACTIVE:

Enemies can see the indicator for


"Boy, the world's one river, and I'm its king. Ain't no place I ain't been; ain't no place I can't go again."

E Ability:
Thick Skin
PASSIVE:
Tahm Kench stores a percentage of the post-mitigation damage he takes as Grey Health on his health bar, up to a maximum of 300% of his maximum health.
While
Thick Skin is available, and after taking no damage for 4 seconds, Tahm Kench rapidly heals himself to restore 30% − 100% (based on level) of his Grey Health. Every 0.264 seconds he heals for 10% of his maximum health.
ACTIVE:
Tahm Kench converts his current Grey Health into a Hybrid shield that lasts for 2.5 seconds.
This works similar to
Pyke's grey health, where he can only heal his full amount near two enemies, alive or dead.

PASSIVE:

While

ACTIVE:

This works similar to


Ultimate Ability:
Devour
ACTIVE:
Tahm Kench swallows the target champion for up to 3 seconds, rendering them vanished and unable to act, as well as granting them displacement immunity for the duration.
If the target is an ally, they are granted a Hybrid shield for 2.5 seconds, refreshing after they are Regurgitated.
Tahm Kench is slowed and unable to cast movement spells while an ally is swallowed, but may still cast
Abyssal Dive.
If the target is an enemy, they are suppressed for the duration.
Devour can only be cast on enemies with 3
An Acquired Taste stacks, consuming them in the process.
Tahm Kench is grounded and slowed by 40% while an enemy is swallowed.
After 1 second,
Devour can be recast into Regurgitate while
Tahm Kench's belly is full, and automatically does so at the end of the duration. Allied champions can exit at will by inputting a movement command after the same delay, unless they're immobilized.

ACTIVE:

If the target is an ally, they are granted a Hybrid shield for 2.5 seconds, refreshing after they are Regurgitated.


If the target is an enemy, they are suppressed for the duration.



After 1 second,












TOP LANE: Your goal in top lane as

ADC: Now, you may be asking, "What is the difference between Fasting Senna and ADC Tahm kench!?:. The difference lies in the fact that Tahm Kench ADC is playing Farming Tahm WITHOUT Senna. Tahm Kench is basically a fatter ezreal, with the engage of a Kalista ult and survivability of a tank. The ADC role is so ****ed that a tank or mage outperforms most marksmen.
SUPPORT: Previously,










You pretty much win earlier harder with this rune. falls off but its fun.












In Conclusion:
Tahm Kench Is a duelist tank top laner, a better bot laner than most marksman, or a tanky engage peel cc support. He lacks AoE damage, but exceeds in single-trio target damage. His abilities are a bit telegraphed but not impossible to hit. Very interesting lore and funny dialogue, give it a read sometime! Also his theme slaps. Tahm is jack of some trades and master of none. He is in a really really good spot now and is usually able to hold his own in any matchup. His counterpicks are rather niche and he is uncommon so no one really knows how to counter him like they do with
Sett or someone meta.
