Champion.gg - Tahm Kench Support Stats, Builds, Runes, Masteries and Counters

I love Tahm Kench as much as I love Bard, and after getting used to him (and your allies getting used to him...) I find him really strong and viable and have a 60% win rate with him as of now.

Yet, somehow he still sits at the second worst winrate for supports, 43,97% as of writing.

In my opinion he doesn't need changes but WHY does he still have that low of a winrate? Do you think he needs a buff/nerf?

Oh, and it is ridiculous fighting 1v1 with the other support at all levels due to his R passive.

he needs a late game heavy buff and an heavy nerf for early game cause he is in toplane is stupid

he needs his early game damage nerfed and late game damaged buffed his utility needs just a bit of a SLIGHT buff but other then that he is overall fine as is

He's a shit support. He's better as Jungle or Top so he can actually roam and be more impactful than getting stuck at bot lane with a whiny ADC.

Nerf early game, buff utility and late game potential. In top lane, hes fine. You'll always get reported for playing him support because all the ADC mains don't need help. When you eat them to get them out of a sticky situation, they'll just report you.

His scores are based upon people playing him ok, but the adc usually gets him killed, so he should just play top.

could probably afford to tweak his base stats just a bit.

otherwise he's fine.

the passive on his ultimate is way too OP his Q is fine his devour is conditionnal, but still deals too much dmg to me : Maokai's Z deals 13% of maxHP, while Tahm's Z is 32% which is 146% stronger... His E seems OP but this is only if you focus him, which shouldn't happen. The 90% maxHP shield actually disappears after 6s anyway. And the regen compensates his lack of mobility

So i think he should get nerfed on his max HP dmg both on Z and ult, and get a buff on his base movement speed, and 0.5s more duration on his stun so it lasts as long as the slow (Bard like), and maybe lower the slow on his Z when he eats enemy champs.
