A lot of CC that is hard to counter, focus on dodging her E's and not getting too close to her, try to act smart and fast when she drops her ult, try and save people with your W if she is not targeting you.

INTRODUCTION
In this guide I'll be talking about how to play
. My name is Vodka and I main the support role. One of my mains are: Sona, Lux(in mid lane, I play her as support in normal games) and Leona. I hope you have fun with this guide and it will be useful to you.
. My name is Vodka and I main the support role. One of my mains are: Sona, Lux(in mid lane, I play her as support in normal games) and Leona. I hope you have fun with this guide and it will be useful to you.
I've been playing league for over 6 years now but only recently decided to play it a bit more seriously. On that note if you ever want to play together you can always DM me and we can play a few matches.
Tahm Kench is great for playing support and a lot of fun as well. His Q is fun to poke with, your W can save lives and allow turret diving in early levels, his E takes him out of fishy situations (haha, great pun) and his ult allows him to travel long distances which can be helpful while stealing dragons or moving somewhere fast.
I personally don't see many Tahm Kench players playing him in the support role anymore but I still do it from time to time so I wanted to make this guide for those who still do as well. Hopefully you'll enjoy it. Good luck!

WHY TAHM KENCH?
|
|
WHY TAHM KENCH? Tahm Kench is an extremely viable support pick, especially into opposing melee supports. He still has the ability to save his ADC from hard cc and if you take cleanse you're basically ungankable. The enemy bot will never be able to all in you. His R, even prior to level 11, is still a great tool to create flanks if you and your adc are fed OR if you want to deliver your jungler behind enemy lines, and is still busted when it comes to picking off people in sidelanes post lvl 11 and making crazy rotations/roams. And with the increase in his damage he becomes even more a lane bully than before.

It's not my video but it is very educational and I suggest watching it if you're just bored and want to watch something.

KEY INSIGHTS
|
K E Y |
I N S I G H T S |
|
FIRST INSIGHT // He's very strong at stopping all-ins with W, but he can't help his teammate (or himself) from getting poked. Enchanter/Mage supports beat him. SECOND INSIGHT // W does a decent amount of damage since it's based on max HP. However, Tahm will typically save W to protect an ally. THIRD INSIGHT // Q will stun if he has 3 stacks of passive P on you. FOURTH INSIGHT // Tahm becomes grounded and is slowed by 95% for the duration of W if he targets a champion. |

FIRST SPIKE // W can save allies by eating them or spitting them out just over thin walls, including the walls of the Baron and Dragon pits. This also makes abilities like Anivia's wall or Jarvan IV's ultimate effectively irrelevant when Tahm is saving someone. SECOND SPIKE // The range increase per rank on R makes him even more terrifying as the game unfolds. Opens up opportunities to find flanks with a carry behind a teamfight. THIRD SPIKE // W will prevent his teammate from taking any more damage (outside of already-applied DoT), making him the best support to protect allies during ganks. FOURTH SPIKE // Has the potential to heavily influence the map when he roams with R, especially when he brings an ally with him. FIFTH SPIKE // Can spam E off-cooldown during extended trades to seriously limit the amount of damage he would normally take due to the constant shielding. |

FIRST WEAKNESS // Relies way too heavily on W as a champion. Once it's used, he is significantly less effective. SECOND WEAKNESS // Is countered extremely easily by mobility or poke champions in lane. E's healing will not be enough to keep him healthy. THIRD WEAKNESS // His all-in is fairly telegraphed. If he misses Q, he can't close the distance. FOURTH WEAKNESS // Completely immobile during combat. |
WARDING
|
|
|
WARDING IS IMPORTANT There are a variety of wards and you should know how/when to use them
I'll add an image to the most important places to ward and where you should be in control of the vision. Also, if you're starting with
Relic Shield do not forget to change your Stealth Ward to an Oracle Lens because it is not only important to put down your wards, but also deny vision for the enemy team.
|
CONTROL WARD
|
CONTROL WARD Grants sight over the surrounding 900 units. But a Control Ward also:
Control Ward).Reveals enemy traps. Reveals camouflaged champions. The Control Ward is exposed to enemies while it is revealing one of the above stealthed units, or granting vision of a Prophet of an Elder God Tentacle.Life span: Indefinite. Limit: 1. Visible: Yes. Health: 4, regenerates after 6 seconds of not being attacked. Bounty: 30 Gold and 40 Experience. |
STEALTH WARD
|
STEALTH WARD Grants sight over the surrounding 900 units. Life span: 150 seconds. Limit: 3 placed, shared with Totem wards. Visible: Stealth. Health: 3. Bounty: 30 Gold and 40 Experience. Source: Targon's Buckler/ Bulwark of the Mountain. Runesteel Spaulders/ Pauldrons of Whiterock. Frostfang/ Shard of True Ice. Harrowing Crescent/ Black Mist Scythe
|
WARDING PLACES
|
|
The dots represent where you should ward. The 2 most important wards are numbered 1 and 2. These wards should always be placed so you know that the enemy jungle is ganking or someone is rotating to your lane. The other wards are optional but very useful no matter what. Example: Ward 6 will let you see the enemy jungle taking Rift Scuttler or about to take dragon, maybe the mid laner coming into your lane. Ward numbered 5 might let you see a jungler like Rengar waiting to turret dive you and so on.

Final words
Hopefully you enjoyed this guide and will leave a rating and/or a comment, I'd really appreaciate it. I'm not very good at creating guides or making them as useful as some others out here but I put a lot of hard work and love into it. It's not finished yet but make sure to come by again to see it fully made. Good luck playing
Tahm Kench!
Tahm Kench is personally one of my favorite supports out there. His whole character in general from voice lines to looks is very great and unique. I'd also like to thank the voice actor of Tahm Kench and may he rest well. :)

NOTES:
Tahm Kench is one of those champions that a lot of people might enjoy playing. He is tanky but provides great damage, he can CC, save lives and easily run away or run in! I hope this guide will maybe have you thinking of picking him up. Give this champion some love he deserves.
Known by many names throughout history, the demon Tahm Kench travels the waterways of Runeterra, feeding his insatiable appetite with the misery of others. Though he may appear singularly charming and proud, he swaggers through the physical realm like a vagabond in search of unsuspecting prey. His lashing tongue can stun even a heavily armored warrior from a dozen paces, and to fall into his rumbling belly is to tumble into an abyss from which there is little hope of return.
