Like, forget Viktor top, Vayne top, Karma top, basically all the top laners that make you not wanna play the game at all have virtually nothing on Tahm Kench. It's at the point where I'm not even playing top lane anymore until they do something about him.
You know between your runes, champ select, and itemization you can make him obsolete. You just have to be willing to try something new and not a cookie cutter mobafire build.
eh, tahm top is not the worst top lane has seen, he is a problem but certainly anyone who has been a resident of top lane through the years knows there has been far worse things there before. for me, so long as there isn't a tank ekko phenom again i'm generally ok with it cause that ekko shit was actually unplayable when his %health dmg on his W passive was 5% instead of 3. and fiora isn't popular enough to truly be shown up as the balance disaster show that she is, iunno why rito keep on juicing her up with buffs here and there either. tahm currently is like vladimir's ugly cousin, twice removed, i don't want to see him but i've had worse visitors. also tryndaderp, because no one can forget a good tryndaderp.
As a support, I'm just glad he's not in bot lane anymore!
Fuck Tahm Kench. Absolute degenerate champion
The only thing that comes close to Tahm Kench top right now is Olaf back in the days. He was Pick or Ban and if the enemy picked him, there was absolutely nothing you could do.
Yeah he really counters bruisers like Irelia, Riven, and Jax, which everyone is playing right now.
I'll take TK over Mordekaiser anyday.
TK is stupid easy to gank and camp top lane on.
With morde he just goes Teleport and even if you've camped him pre-6 he will still make it impossible for you to gank post-6 since top lane always outlevels the jungle and his ult allows him to kill the jungler 100% of the time he comes for a gank, and if not there's a high likelihood he shuts down his enemy top lane with it anyways.
I just came off a game where my Gnar was feeding TK like an idiot and it didn't matter because come mid to late game he did nothing in TF's and my Vi stunned the living crap out of him and he blew up in every team fight.
He's a useless toplaner that can't really make picks or threaten the backline at all, and his damage is all single target so he does no cleave damage whatsoever unlike most other top laners.
We had a tahm on our team recently against a Yi jg. Yi ults and flys face first into our adc - Ult / Q ( Alpha Strike) and all. Tahm eats our adc mid Q and Yi stands there dumb founded as he was kicked out of his Q before it got a chance to proc. It was beautiful.
I am at that point of playing top lane that when I do not know what champion imy enemy is going to pick, I safe-pick Tahm Kench. Also, conqueror is still a problem and there's no answer for that.
if i have to go top i just ban him.
are none of u old enough to remember ekko release or juggernaut rework release?
Fuck that shit Viktor top was cancer and i still have to deal with 
top and 
and most adcs and mages in general in other lanes who i still have to interact with but they get free excapes after i blow by mobility and cc to catch them.

For now you can ban him when you want to go top lane you know...
licks agressively
slurp
(tahm is so horrible to fight though, ik what you mean)
I made a thread about this point specifically already, but Tahm beats literally, literally, the entire cast toplane during laning phase. But since he doesn't have a kit of like, an actual champion, he doesn't convert it into objectives or game wins. Well he does, only against about half his opponents though. He just prevents top lane from playing league of legends for 20 minutes then does virtually nothing.
best way to play against a tahm kench. is just do small trades. or play a character like jayce that can poke. a lot of what i see people doing is trying to all in him and falling to his shield. if you do small trades or pokes. then you can negate his shield
yo you beat tahm kench by building mr and sustain. basic league right there
He's so dumb lol. Lliterally walks up to you and kills you even after you outplayed him. His defenses need tweaking cause it's absurd.
All I wanted to do was support. Riot had different ideas.
Not even Riven or Vayne? I never play top and I have no idea how the fuck you're supposed to farm in top lane without being poked.
