Go for shorter trades. Tahm isn't great against poke, he can only protect people from full commitments. If you poke either Tahm or his ADC low enough, you can all-in without them being able to fight back.

Also yeah, ganks help a lot. Tahm has no escapes, so he's pretty vulnerable to ganks.

If you want to win lane vs Kench, pick a lane like with a lot of ranged poke and just shove him in and poke, or go for tower plates. He doesn't really do much aside from protecting allies from being killed, so you should be able to bully the other ADC with your range advantage.

I join @ PsiGuard in his opinion. Picking some poke heavy botlane such as or , might be great thing to think about. They both provide high amounts of lane dominance, big poke damage, and reliable late game damage (Caitlyn with protection from Karma).

In general you should just make sure you don't get hit by , because once he gets the slow and a first stack, you're done for the day... Make sure you can deny him this and just chip him/adcarry down and you should be fine! Anyway for late game he has always been super busted... Goodluck!

Acutally Tahm is pretty good against and for poking, its like a worse version of pyke when is to tank trades.
edit: his gray health allow him to regen kinda fast so on any poke/trade (and his Q range is pretty hard so most of time he will poke back) he will get the advantage of it.

Most poke supports can deal damage from behind the safety of a minion wave. Tahm's Q can be both dodged and blocked by minions so I don't think he trades evenly, even with grey health. The exception would be if Tahm's ADC can outpush the other 2 champions.

Hi there, mast 7 Tahm main here (sorry about that). The best counter to Tahm is simply poke and cc. As others have mentioned, he has no escape other than just tanking through damage and walking away. So if you have a lot of crowd control or a shield breaker, that is your best chance at beating him. Be VERY careful when he is under turret as he can just you to keep you under turret. Otherwise, just play relatively safe while poking him down and he can't do anything to you. His biggest counter is easily . The hook, knock up, and shield break are just lethal for him. Plus, if you can tahm when he s an ally, then its 2 hooks easy. Hope this helps!
