Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Tahm Kench and who Tahm Kench beats
Tahm Kench is a wall, but a wall with no real damage, which is exactly how you beat him. He is slow, his only gap closer and escape is the Abyssal Dive knockup, and his Tongue Lash is a single skillshot that needs three stacks of Acquired Taste to actually stun, so a missed Q or a dodged dive leaves him doing almost nothing. His Thick Skin shield and self heal let him out last most poke, but champions who simply out damage that sustain in extended fights chew straight through it. Bruisers who can stick to him and out trade, or ranged supports who poke him down and peel his engage from a distance he cannot cover, give him the most trouble. When you pick Tahm Kench, you are accepting that you will rarely win a lane on raw kill pressure, so you want a partner who can punish the openings your crowd control creates.
