Top lane Tahm Kench has a lane kill rate exceeding 60% in 47 out of 50 match ups.

How on earth has he not been hotfixed? He has a favorable match up against every single top lane champion. The only champion that even stands a chance is Pantheon, but the matchup still slightly favors Tahm.

Even against Heimerdinger, a champion that should counter Tahm, the matchup favors Tahm.

Lane bullies should exist, but not to the extent of countering every single matchup.

This is incredibly similar to old Nunu, where he was picked to make the other team's jungler as useless as Nunu. But Tahm Kench doesn't become worthless once mid game hits, and Nunu never countered 94% of enemy junglers by a ridiculous margin.

It's incredibly clear that Riot hasn't a clue what to do with this champion, which is why he should be given the same treatment other unbalanceable champions get.

Bench. The. Kench.

My boy, this is toplane, land of the rejects. Nobody gives a fuck about us, except when the team needs a tank of course

I said it before and I’ll say it again - Tahm Kench is a mistake

If tahm was actually op more people would play him but he has a 6% playrate in diamond and a 8% banrate.

Like maybe learn to play vs him since it seems in diamond they know how to.

This whole comment section reminds me those about Riven 1-2 months ago. Luckily, those who said "Don't nerf Riven" or "YOU cAnT CoUnTeR HeR CuZ YoUr BaD" didn't get away.

Of course a goldie would spew nonsense without providing evidence. A majority of the roster can play around him but choose not to respect the champion's strengths and weaknesses and prefer to just face smash their keyboards vs him. He can be easily played around by most top laners except those who are true melee and don't have hard cc to disengage with.
