I've been playing a lot of Tahm Kench. Personally, I've had far more success with him in the jungle. But that's besides the point. I'd like to hear everyones take on their strategy with him.

You can choose to save your devour to protect a teammate. A very viable strategy, as you can save your adc or ap carry to clean up the scraps towards the end of a team fight, or escape in time to save your turret. - You can save teammates with a Caitlyn ult locked on to them - You can grab a teammate and flash out to save their own flash - You can just grab them for the extra move speed to get to lane faster

Me, on the other hand, use it more offensively. I usually go straight in for a target to swallow and bring to MY backline. - Depending on the enemy tank, sometimes I will devour them to expose the enemy backline and ensure some pesty Gragas isn't bellyflopping my allies away and soaking up all the damage.

  • Or, you can go for a high priority target, like a fed adc or ap carry. This cancels high potential damage, and allows for VERY easy focusing as I'll ping like absolute crazy for my teammates to clean up my valuable vomit.
  • Sometimes, when facing champs with aoe ults, like Kennen Katarina Amumu etc., I will anticipate their ult and try my best to either interrupt it, or just prevent it in the first place until their team is wiped out.

I'm a fairly casual player, I'm not fantastic, but I just wanted to see what strategies y'all are using with Tahm Kench!

P.S. Tahm ult + Kalista ult with Thresh = easiest gank of your life =)
