Playing against Tahm Kench

Key Insights
If an enemy champion has 3
P
stacks,
R
can be used while

Q
stuns enemy champions if they have 3
P
stacks, but the stacks are consumed.
When Tahm Kench uses

, he is Grounded and slowed. If the target is an ally, he can still use
W
and bring his ally along.
Strengths
Can create his own CC chain on a target with
Q
's stun into
W
.
Can save an ally in a pinch with
R
and choose to escape with
W
when needed.
R
+
W
doubles as a flanking tool.
Synergizes well with
Iceborn Gauntlet
,
Winter's Approach
,
Anathema's Chains
,
Abyssal Mask
,
Spirit Visage
, and
Randuin's Omen
. Can opt for
Sunfire Aegis

Weaknesses

Can be kited very easily by mobile champions or ones who outrange him, especially if he misses
