Post any tips or tricks you've found that relate to the newest champ on the rift

(Put role/lane as well)

Ill start off. Try starting w as Support Tahm. It really helps when leashing a jungler as it does a ton of the monsters hp, and it does some really nasty poke in lane when firing a minion at the enemy adc

New thing I found. By starting W as Supp Tahm, you can hit level 2 and potentially get a kill very easily. Ward the enemy's bot lane camp. If they start there, wait across the wall untill the enemy adc/supp leave. Then, flash w the monster and spit it at the jungler. If done well, you will hit level 2, and they will be supremely chunked. Level q and try to go for a kill, or level e and use it to escape, your choice

Tahm Top or is is Top Tahm, T.T

item 3074 item 3071 item 3146 item 3115 item 3022 item 3158

I start with item 1036 2 Red, 1 Blue. And rush Hydra

You shouldn't oom early if you save ability for crucial moments.

Reasoning for this build: 2/3 of your stacks will more then likely come from basics By lvl6 you should have enough mana to not have to worry about ability cost Hydra kills minions like nobodies business. CD reduction brings your Q to 3s or less and w at 6s or less. Ult every minute.

Conclusion: I'm sure people would have better ideas on gear substitutes, but this basically makes up for early game lack of last hits. And gives you more ultility late game. 1m Ult helps maintain lanes

  • Your Q has a shorter cooldown than your passives wear off time, so you can stack you passive at range if you land it right.
  • Your Q doesn't consume your Passive charges like W does, so you can stun a person multiple times in a fight if you hold off on eating them.
  • See the enemy jungler taking crab? Q-W to take it away from them and get it for your team.
  • You clear Super Minions really quickly, even as a support, by eating them and spitting them back out. In general you have awesome waveclear as a support.
  • Don't be too quick to eat enemies in a trade. If you're a support and your ADC is trading, make sure you don't eat the only person in your ADC's range.
  • Your ult is easiest to use with a duo partner, but you probably won't use it too many times in a game. It's 100% OK to use it to get back to lane as a support.
  • Eat your ADC to run back to lane faster.
  • If you think you'll get out alive, don't use your E. You'll lose more health by shielding if you would get away.
  • If you're getting chunked down quickly in a teamfight, activating your shield when you're low health basically gives you twice your health for that fight!.
  • You can spit allies out over walls, which can help allies close gaps or get out of fights.
  • Eating someone doesn't make them invincible. They can still die to Ignite or other effects.
  • Eating an enemy Kayle who has ulted is a great way to negate her ultimate.
  • You can eat allies that are partway through a displacement ability, really saving them from a tricky situation.
