All you need to do to balance Tahm Kench is this:

Reduce the time his freaking stacks last on you, holy shit. They last so damn long and you aren't able to be near him once he lands one on you because applying the next two is a cake walk. Also, if you're laning vs him and the wave is just slightly past the middle of the lane on his side and you're melee, you can't lane anymore. He lands on Q on you and you're getting devoured and eating a turret shot or two.

No, they don't last that long, they last just a tad bit longer than his tongue lash so he can keep stacks on you, and with that its not hard to dodge it

Dude he's like immobile af when he is near his turret. If you are eating a turret shot, you are overextended. He moves almost no distance at all while he is there. If you take two turret shots, you are way too extended. It would be surprising if the jgler doesn't come to take advantage of it. It would be the same as any champ that hides under the turret; let the minions push. Treat it like a vs Nasus matchup; you are fighting a tanky champ who's goal is to survive the laning phase, prevent you from getting too ahead or from him being too far behind, and become tanky lategame while still dealing tons of damage.

how about you try to dodge his Q? or hide behind your cs when you fight him?????

I love all of this Tahm Kench hate when he isn't even that bad. The only thing that needs to be changed is that he doesn't get a speed boost with an ally in him unless he's running towards an enemy

Tahm would be balanced simply by removing his ultimate passive, not his stacks. Without his stacks he doesn't really do anything of importance and it would be too harsh of a nerf to his solo lane. The thing about Tahm is that he has to be balanced for a Top or Mid role but also a Support role. I think a fair nerf since no matter what Tahm is almost always full tank/mostly tanky would just be to remove the passive on his ult which allows him to output an extremely high amount of damage for being a 6 item tank.

No lane doesn't push if you know how to last hit the cs. if you are constantly hitting the minions they will die faster = the lane will push to your enemy.

It's unsafe to lane against somebody when you push them into tower? Hmmmm....

so what you are saying is that you were pushing against tahm kench with devour stacks on you. Cool.
