Try this combo, Lucian TahmKench Luc can ult while Tahm either runs to the enemy or away. Now you have a laser catfish How to set up Get 6 on Luc Luc ults in direction of enemies Tahm eats Luc Tahm runs around with bullets flying out of him

No. You run Singed with him. Ult behind enemy team, let Singed run through, then eat singed and now YOU run through. His poison never stops.

Shrek LuigiJul 9, 201531 votes

He's gotta be one of the best support for solo queue. Forcibly pulling back an overextending adc and saving them from 3 gank-ready enemies is some game-changing stuff. Thanks Riot :)

Spicy RiceJul 9, 20154 votes

Better yet, play him top and gank bot.with your jungler along for.the ride

Jeddy017Jul 9, 20158 votes

Um,Tahm's ult range isn't that large.I don't know the specific range,but I know you're not ulting from Top to Bot.

DrCyanideJul 10, 20155 votes

Although the Wiki pointed out that you can eat an ally, then use Teleport with them in.

The enemy sees the TP - "Oh, it's just Tahm." Tahm arives and immediately regurgitates his jungler - "Oh. Crap."

GallowgrimJul 9, 201528 votes

..I can say with absolute certainty that I do believe he is the most damned fun I've had, not just as a Support but possibly... possibly in League ever

He doesn't feel overtuned, either - just has an excellent niche and a highly entertaining personality and design.

Complete slam dunk home run, Riot.

Thank you for what is destined to be my new Main.

I couldn't do shit against him in fights. He saved allies I focused while he himself was really tanky. What are his weaknesses so I can abuse him next time?

Were you trying to 1v2?

Heavy, sustained burst is problematic. Once the shield has to be popped, its on cooldown for around 10s, which is a huge window of vulnerability - especially as the shield decays by itself. The devour ability's on around a 10s cooldown as well - once he pops both, he's more or less out of tricks that I'm finding. Hide behind a minion, then burst him while your ally (again, don't 1v2) is hitting him to force him to pop his shield - he'll likely be building HP, not armor. Once the shield's down to save himself, even if he devours his buddy he'll still be downed quick and you can proceed to brutalize em.

It's great, I don't even have to pay attention now as an ADC, he'll just carry me safely back to tower in his belly if I'm about to die.

OhthePiplupJul 10, 20152 votes

My level 11 friend loves him because he can be caught out but still be safe in the belly

TheWolfSageJul 10, 20153 votes

Am I the only one who senses a Varus/Tahm team-up meta soon? Varus' only weakness is his lack of escapes, after all; other than that he's a damn powerful teamfighter.

Can confirm combo is great Tahm needs a taxi driver skin

OnanThaManJul 9, 201517 votes

On a different note, tried him out in a bot game, grab my less than 20% health adc, ashe , threw her into the enemy team. We all laughed as she was instakilled

10/10 As his kit was meant to be used.

JungHai0Jul 10, 201516 votes

Was playing Yas.

Dive under an inhib turret like an idiot.

Almost die.

Our Tahm eats me, I live with 70 health.

11/10 would be eaten again. Praise Tahm.

Tahm is seriously overpowered. When i jump the ADC i can't do anything as Khazix. I am so done with playing asassins in S5. It just sucks balls. I might as well go for Xin Zhao, as every other noob in this game and Q the shit out of everyone.

While Ekko sucked for asassins since he could go back in time and have his health replenished, Riot brings out another champ which plays against asassins. The game, as it is right now, is just a fucking pokegame with too many escapes for. I understand that Riot has to make a new champ but with every champ Riot overdoes it and the champ has to be nerfed a few weeks later.

I usually play in positions where i get blamed a lot (jungle and support, occasionally top).

If Tahm can swallow other champs while ulting them, i also want other skills of other champs to break ults. For example i can not excape Vi's ult when i jump over a wall with Khazix or excape other stuns and shit midflight.

Since there will be a lot of Tahm players out there in the next time, i will just play Karma and poke the shit out of everyone, ty for giving me no other opportunity...

Just wondering. What happens when Tahm dies when an ally is inside of him?

EkkoFrofflesJul 10, 20153 votes

I do believe they're just spit out wherever he died.

Mystic ButttholeJul 9, 20151 votes

He's kinda poop in top lane though.

Shrek LuigiJul 9, 20155 votes

Once TK has been out for a few weeks and people have thoroughly tested him out, there's bound to be effective solo lane builds popping up on mobafire or what have you.

With the proceeds of a solo-lane worth of gold, he could probably tank just about anything lategame. And that %maxHP magic damage is no joke, either.

LusdenJul 9, 20151 votes

Problem is, he's not really damaging enough to be a bully (I was just able to tank one as a Nasus, to the extent that I largely didn't care about being eaten if I knew the enemy jungle was busy) and he's not going to super-scale to be a passive farmer. Could probably make a good top if the jungler is extremely bursty and aggressive, but then that's tying your jungler to top lane.

Diananmen SquareJul 9, 20153 votes

Nasus tanks almost everything in lane.

Dat passive doe

doviendeJul 9, 20152 votes

And don't forget every auto does 4/5/6% of his bonus HP as magic damage on-hit. Pretend Frozen Mallet has 72AD instead of 30 ;)

Actually, now that I think about it, an extra 42 AD would have cost 1512g. This is effectively like making each point of HP almost double the gold value. You're adding 2.16g worth of AD onto each point of HP that is valued at 2.66 per point, making it effectively 4.82g worth of value

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhh...... Might wanna switch BC with Wits end

A) tahm don't deal lots of physical damage B) Double rage is redundant

AFK PushJul 10, 20152 votes

You shouldn't be wasting your time with a melee carry item on TahmKench . He likes hp too much, so capitalize on that. item 3027 item 3022 item 3060 for certain situations, and when item 3001 gives hp in the next few patches. Besides that, I can't think of any other offtank/bruiser item that gives him all of the stats he would want.
