Patch 6.9: The Return of Tahm Kench

Nebuul··2 votes·1,112 views

TahmKench thinks that 6.9 is going to be a splendiferous and engaging experience worthy of a fine gentleman such as himself.

First, take this: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/summoners/masteries/#o.MsUvOgk5.Hn68CXP00

Then, take one of these two gems: item 3027 or item 3800

And finally: item 3065

A full build will be something like: item 3065 item 3800 item 3053 item 3083 item 3742 item 3009

Unkillable. Extremely, extremely unkillable. And terrifying. With infinite sustain.

The math, maxed E, assuming you can avoid popping your shield: Heal 44% of all damage taken base. x 1.25 Visage x 1.1 Keystone x 1.08 Mastery = Heal 65.34% of all damage taken

Then, get 15% of damage taken as mana (you only "keep" about 5% of that 15% damage - remember E!). Get (25% x 1.25 x 1.1 x 1.08) = 37.125% Health from mana spent because healing is fun and mandatory.

So if you get hit for 200 damage, you gain 30 mana, and you really only take 70 damage because the rest heals back. Then you spend 50 mana on a tongue lash and gain back almost 20 health. By the time your E heals you up, you will have literally taken 0 damage overall and had a free Q.

edit: I threw in Warmogs instead of frozen mallet because with Q and Glory, nobody will get away from you anyway. And warmogs gives CDR now. And the heals. The beautiful, beautiful heals.

the changes to the items in 6.9 will really help him after that slew of nerfs. i think i'll probs end up building something like item 3068 item 3065 item 3083 item 1306 item 3748 and the new ap item that has the active dash on it. this build would give tahm 30% cdr, lots of hp and hp regen, lots of damage and he'll move fast from swiftys. they don't really help him bot lane too much, but his top lane is going to be monstrous again (hoping the fotm players don't kill him again)
