Janna is the Queen of DIsengage, and makes it very hard for TK to land his passive on either her or her ADC. Her Q and ult are great for intervening between TK and his target.

His gives him strong sustain from laning phase to late game, and his kit of slows and disables allow him to secure early kills for his ADC. can be used defensively to save his ADC from peril, or aggressively to isolate laning partners temporarily and bring them into 1v2 or even 1v5 situations.

Abilities

PASSIVE ABILITY

An Acquired Taste (Passive): Tahm Kench's basic attacks and abilities deal 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75% (at levels 1/7/13) of Tahm Kench's maximum health as bonus magic damage and apply a stack of An Acquired Taste to enemy champions for 5 seconds (stacks 3 times, up to 3.75 / 4.5 / 5.25% of Tahm Kench's max health).

Against enemies with three stacks, his and are enhanced.

Tongue Lash (Q): Tahm Kench roots himself briefly while launching his tongue in a target direction. Tongue Lash stops once it hits a target, dealing 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+70% of ability power) magic damage and slowing whatever he hits by 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70% for 1.5 seconds.

If Tahm Kench slathers an enemy champion with three stacks of and then hits them with Tongue Lash, he stuns them for 1.5 seconds instead.

Devour (W): Tahm Kench briefly swallows a nearby targeted unit, placing them in stasis for 4 seconds if the unit is an enemy minion, neutral monster or allied champion, or half that duration if the unit is an enemy champion.

If he has an enemy champion in his belly, Tahm Kench removes their shared vision and reduces their sight radius to only their immediate surroundings, but also slows himself by 95%. Devouring an enemy champion also halves the ability's cooldown.

After 1 second, Tahm Kench gains the ability to recast Devour, spitting out the swallowed target. If the target is an enemy champion, minion or monster, they will take 20 / 23 / 26 / 29 / 32 % (+ 2% per 100 AP) of their maximum health as magic damage (this damage is capped against monsters). In addition to this, minions and monsters will be spat forward, stopping if they hit an enemy or terrain and dealing 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to all enemies in an area. Upon exiting enemy champions will get stunned for 0.25 seconds.
