So, I am VERY sure that I came up with this idea, but

If I haven't, I'll just say it anyway. Braum and Tahm bot lane is actually pretty good. Both of their passives together are just ridiculous. While Braum is getting his passive stacks, Tahm can assist him in it while also getting his. = Duo stun. I just tried it in a normal with a friend and it's a tanky pick bot lane comp. We got first blood so easily. Heck, the names even roll off the tongue.

Braum and Tahm.

We built duo Face of the Mountain and just split cs. We built health and some resistances (and I built a bork on Braum too). If someone was in danger, Tahm could swallow them or I could jump shield them. We have excellent peeling together and great cc too. Not to mention the fact that Tahm ult with Braum = great for catching people out. The harass from their abilities in laning is actually not too bad either. It compensates for their melee auto attacks. The duo relics keep them sustained too.

TL;DR: Braum and Tahm is rad.

seems like you'd have a lot of kill pressure but you'd probably have a very hard time CSing without getting poked excessively against a standard marksman + support duo.

so i guess if you get a cheesy kill early it would pay off, but if you dont get an early kill in lane you'll probably fall quite far behind in cs.

I love it. Put a real ADC top or jungle (Vayne/Quinn top, Yi/Trynd jungle) and you're set.

Does Tahm really have poor damage scaling like people have suggested? It feels like, with just a bit of attack speed, he could apply his ult passive hard and fast.

double bruiser bot is always strong, no matter what you pick. tho braum and tahm have low damage and low damage scaling, so you will get owned by real bruisers easy.

renekton + jarvan or darius + karma. nothing you can do.

Honestly if you really wanted double stacking stuns then I'd say ADC Kennen + Braum would be better since Kennen does more damage then Tahm (even as adc) and Kennen's ult is so much more effective for an adc then Tahm's would be, just only use it for self peel and not initiation.

Which kind of makes me wonder why Kennen ADC isn't played at all anymore, I've played it quite a few times and it's always been very strong. Though my favorite duo with it has to be Leona. Played it with some friends and Kennen + Leona ultimate will always win any 2v2 fight bot lane lol.

What happens around level 9 when you need to kill a turret?

Remember, this is just a cheese pick for normals, bots, or whatever. It's just for fun and those first few free kills make it worthwhile.

That's why they're duo support, KUN. Like McAllister said, have a hyper carry or something like that in a different lane. Your job would be a tank like that catches enemies out and uses the passives. @Nasreth, it can vary. If the marksman approached us, we'd double Q and almost get the passive off and force them to retreat. Then, we'd apply constant lane pressure and use relics to heal ourselves. Your situation is very likely to happen as well. But, it's something worth trying. Yeah, his damage scaling is pretty bad, but they're why you're abusing the passive, peels, shield, and CC. :P
