i don't really like playing him as a support, he feels very "meh" unless i'm fighting other melees
I tried him jungle but I wasn't really able to gank because my lanes were either pushing too hard or they'd die by the time I got there, but I'm mostly curious about what I'm supposed to build for either?
I've seen a lot of suggestions for 
and others for 
, should I judge it as a case-by-case basis or is one preferrable to the other?
MLDzXnRRR1 votesJungle Tahm is very strong vs immobile champions, but his clear speed is not great. Forget it, if you play vs Fiora, Ahri/Zed, Kalista, Lee type team composition
Wicked Waffle1 votesJungle Tahm is insanely strong right now. Devourer deals a huge amount of damage to Gromp and Big Krug, making his clear speed insanely fast. The only problem is that it's really hard to kill red/blue, because you can't swallow them.
My typical build to Jungle Tahm is: 
The insane amount of health plus wit's end ensures that you do an insane amount of damage with your basics and stack Acquired Taste faster, all the while being tanky. For this reason, Tahm is broken (but hey, don't tell anyone!).
Top Tahm is decent, I guess. I go the same Jungle Tahm build but swap out Cinderhulk for Titanic Hydra.
Big Lincoln1 votesso is Tahm sort of classified as being a Juggernaut when he isn't supporting?
that doesn't seem like a terrible build but can I ask if things like 
or 
have any place in his builds? Also is the CDR from Ionian's much more important than, say, Tenacity or Tabi's passive?
Wicked Waffle2 votesBasicly, he's like the prototype juggernaut for the Juggernaut Reworks. He deals tons of damage while being tanky; but, he has tons of cc, so I don't think he's much of a Juggernaut.
Randuins is good if you're against a crit heavy team. I personally like Dead Man's because it lets you catch up to people faster. That, combined with the slow, you have a good chance of being able to stun/devour that person. And what's scarier than a Tahm running at you with 500 MS?
Frozen Heart is a suboptimal buy for Tahm Kench. The CDR is good, but Tahm mostly focuses on building Health, which is why most of my items have a lot of health. Frozen Heart is good for some situations, like if you're going against a Vayne ADC and Gnar Top; otherwise, I wouldn't buy it.
The boots can be swapped out depending on the situation. I personally like Ionian because then you get to spam your Tongue Lash, Devourer more people, and have more global presence with your ult. Mercury Treads come a close second if they have a lot of AP/CC champions. I don't really think Tabi is very good, unless the other team is mostly AA reliant; in that case, Frozen Heart and Randuins can easily fill the gap. Another boot to consider is Boots of Swiftness if you aren't getting Dead Man's, because then you'll be able to catch up to them, especially if the other team is kite-oriented.
Only Play Darius1 votesTahm Jg is crazy, you should try it. Build cinderhulk.
Caytheles1 votesTahm support if the enemy has a Rengar. Watch him Get himself caught out because he is an asshole and always wants your ad carry. just swallow your adc and fuck that pussy right in the....you get it.
D1rtFarmer1 votestahm vs ad top lane you must get this item 
if support or not. idk about the roa honestly.. but i get great results with the tank fist
