Aside from Tahm being overloaded

How are you supposed to play against him? I'm guessing that all you need to do is avoid his tongue but this thing moves really fast and it's pretty wide, after lvl 6 he has a lot of damage AND thanks to his gray health he actually is pretty tanky... he can just walk at you and proceed to do his thing while you either try to land some damage on him or try to runaway, either way you'll get a Q on the face and will have to swallow a ton of damage and CC...

so... what are this champs weaknesses again?

Tahm Kench was designed to pressure mobile champions while being fairly immobile himself. However, that means he just destroys other immobile champions.

When the Devs had a talk about Tahm Kench they addressed all balance concerns from the standpoint of Tahm in the bot lane against ADCs and supports, when everyone is frustrated primarily because of his top lane and jungling.

You try to keep him busy and hope the rest of your team can stomp the rest of his team because otherwise you lose.

Good sir, I wish to inform you of two items that'll greatly assist you in dealing with the Classy Kench

Have your squishy ADs get this MercScim: item 3139 , Regardless of whether they're a squishy ADC or a squishy AD Caster. This will save their lives repeatedly when playing against Tahm.

And your support get this: item 3222 Now, Mikael's may not cleanse the devour stacks like MercScim, it'll at least remove the stun and slow from a full stacks Tahm Q and give you a chance to get out of dodge before Tahm eats you.

By the way, this item is also a supp item recommendation for when the enemies have an Ashe or Leona.

PS: Mikael's targeted CC remover comes with a sweet heal that scales with the user's max HP.

"Tahm Overloaded"

You guys don't even know what words mean anymore. Call Tahm whatever you want but don't call him overloaded. Thresh, Lulu, and Nami are "overloaded" because their kits are designed to be really versatile. Tahm isn't versatile at all. Too strong arguably (although stats disagree, at least as a support). But overloaded? No way.

Teamfighting, even splitpushing because his ult is slow af. His 1v1 is pretty godly if he's even, just try to avoid him and farm. MS (de)buffs are useful in general if you can't avoid his tongue (for whatever reason).

Pick Lulu , both top and bot works and make sure you dodge every single of his Q. If he lands one and is smart enough, he can permaslow you and get ready to experience a slow, slimy, and painful death.

If you can dodge his Q, then you know the drill: don't get too close, proceed to mash AA and Q on that fatso. If he is almost dying and is ready to use his shield, mash your W on him so he will die faster.

If you can't pick her for some reason, getting item 3140 will do. Since it's a suppression, using QSS will let you exit his mouth.

Anyone who can poke AND disengage is good enough.
