Tahm Kench Counters

The greatest picks outside of lane to counter Tahm Kench include Xayah, Ezreal, and Kalista. These champions are all good at countering Tahm Kench with decent win rates over 54%. Even if these Tahm Kench counter picks are not taken opposite your position, it's not a good idea to play him into any of these matchups. They will likely beat Tahm Kench.

Conversely, if the opposing team brings either Lillia or Cassiopeia, Tahm Kench mains should strongly consider selecting him, as he easily wins against these champions with win rates over 55% against both ofthem.

Tahm Kench struggles against ranged champions and fast, persistent poke damage. Exploit this weakness by using ranged champions and frequently poke him down whenever he moves forward or positions aggressively.

He is quite immobile and can be easily chased down, especially when an enemy freezes the lane. Use this to your advantage by drawing him into more open areas where he cannot escape ganks or all-ins.

Kench's early game is weak, and he won't be able to handle poke damage well especially from ranged top laners. Use this time to advance and take advantage of his vulnerability.

His level three and six are significant power spikes due to the increase in pressure and damage from his fully available basic abilities and Ultimate R respectively. Beware of these level ups and adjust your gameplay to maintain the upper hand.

Be cautious when the Kench has multiple items, as this increases his damage consistency and survivability during all-ins. Keep track of his item completions and adjust your strategy accordingly.

In the late game, his abilities will have shorter cooldowns allowing him to secure picks with ease on anyone. Keep this in mind and avoid getting isolated or too far forward to prevent being caught out.

Kench's strength lies in his tankiness and his ability to soak up a lot of damage, especially in late-game fights. Utilize champions that have strong penetration or true damage to bypass his shield and health pool.
