If you are melee solo against Tahm Kench, how do you work around the fact your ae feeding him shield

Tahm converts damage received into Grey Health, which is either free HP regen or an activated shield, all basically fucking you over for damaging him. Maybe this is fine for a support who needs to weather two enemy's attacks, but solo lane it's just god damn dumb that any attempts to push him out simply feed him sustain and durability.

Maybe his Grey Healthy should require nearby allies to build up, or build at a greatly reduced rate solo or something? I dunno, I just hate dealing with a brick wall that also gets %HP damage and free damage from defense stats. Grah.

It's a shield that he can have for the health he lost. Get him to shield, back off, then reengage. You have to harass him enough to force the shield, so don't all-in him unless you have enough damage to kill him twice.

-You don't trade with him unless you'll win the trade by A LOT because his Grey health will restore a part of it. -You don't go for long fights unless you want to all in him -Use hard CC on him once he gets low, he'll try to use his E active at the very last second, and if you CC him once he gets low, he can't use his E. You wanna try to deny him the active.
