Should I buy Tahm Kench?

WinBoat··2 votes·2,129 views

So, I bought him once on release, didn't like him although I mostly tried support with him and refunded him.

Since then, he's been seen in all lanes, and jungles, and has been buffed lots. I would play and main jungle with him if I do get him this time around.

Should I get Tahm Kench?

Other champions I'm interested in is Viktor, Jinx.

That depends. Do you enjoy playing a champion who is both fun AND competitively viable? If so, the answer may surprise you

My favorite jungler by far is Riven. Riven is sorta my main on this account, and after seeing many cry about her, I decided to get her and actually give her a serious go unlike on my other account where I bought her and just didn't play her.

Riven is seriously awesome jungle, way better than top lane where she gets destroyed now and days, and is overshadowed by juggernaughts who wreck her with ease.

Recently been playing Vi and I'm loving it. Vi is so fucking OP it's crazy. Ekko is another one I love, but I prefer to lane with him more so.

Anyhow for me, it's all about that Riven lol. I tried Kindred, leveled and mastered them to 5, they are decent, but better off in like a top lane really lol, not a champ I would stick with, but Vi is certainty one of my favorite champs already although I'd probably go back to Riven eventually.

Yeah lol, I bought Tahm, won my first 2 games and did well despite my ping being 250+ ms cause of my brother hogging the damn bandwith on his phone running so much apps, and probably downloading shit. Cause of him, I have went from playing with high level golds and silvers down to bronze... lol.

I still love Riven the best tho for jungle. Rush in and knock someone up, then stun them, and probably execute with your ult, or first rush in with your ult, knock up, stun, then execute. (Usually don't start with the ult just incase they instant flash or use escape tools).

Anyhow, can't go wrong with a snowball champ like Riven. Probably the best mobility in the game arguably. Can get away from anyone almost.

Right now, Vi might overthrow that spot lol, Vi is pretty cool, her ult is insane since you can just use it and go right in to whatever target that needs to be focused and knock them up for like a second and slam em.

Yes.

Tahm is playable in many different roles, like you've said, and is incredibly strong at the moment.

Do not refund carelessly and for something that was purchased with IP, almost everyone who got no refund left wasted theirs, me included.

To your question, play what you think is fun or looks cool.

I bought Tahm recently, and think he's fucking fun as hell top lane. Great against melee champions who have to go all-in, with amazing scaling due to his ability to build full tank and do pretty good damage.

I haven't tried jungle Tahm, but I've heard it's pretty good, and I've seen a few jungle Tahm Kench players do pretty well. Go for it, or at least try him when the free rotation has him in it.

Honestly, I love Viktor, Jinx, and Tahm Kench, so I see no way you can go wrong.

Tahm's jungle is poor. His lane is bullshit. He wrecks all lanes and should be getting a nerf soon.
