Tahm Kench

Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) displaces the ADC out of Devour (R) save range. Trample (E) channel beats the Tongue Lash (Q) 3-stack stun windup before he ramps the An Acquired Taste passive damage.

Gangplank's Parrrley Q detonates Powder Keg E barrels for AOE chip damage that out-ranges Tongue Lash by 200+ units, chipping Tahm under tower without ever stepping into Abyssal Dive range.

Jayce's Shock Blast Q in cannon form ranges 1450 units, well beyond Tongue Lash, and bounces off Acceleration Gate E for double damage. Mercury Hammer R form lets him knock Tahm back with Thundering Blow during the W landing,

Kennen's Lightning Rush E phases him through Tahm to apply Mark of the Storm stacks from inside the wave, the third stack stuns Tahm in melee while Kennen Rush-exits, and Electrical Surge W double-procs the stack on every auto.

Tahm Kench's An Acquired Taste (P) HP scaling is melted by Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) percent-HP damage. He has no ranged threat outside Tongue Lash (Q) at 800 — Kog auto range with W extends past it. Devour (R) ally save is countered by Living Artillery (R) cross-map chip.

Leona's Zenith Blade E dashes 1000+ units onto Tahm before he can step into Tongue Lash range, the dash-attached root holds him in place, and Shield of Daybreak Q chains a second stun through Bone Plating.

Lulu's Whimsy W polymorph turns Tahm into a critter mid Tongue Lash windup, cancelling the cast and the passive stack chain. Wild Growth R then knocks up the ally Tahm tried to land on, Help, Pix! E shields the ADC from his 3-stack stun,

Milio's Breath of Life R cleanses the slow from Tongue Lash and the stun from Abyssal Dive's landing knock-up in a single cast, breaking Tahm's only kill setup in lane. Cozy Campfire W heal-zone uptime then out-sustains his sustained trade pressure across the next two waves.

Morgana's Dark Binding Q root lasts up to 3 seconds at max rank and hits Tahm before he can Abyssal Dive into range — he has no dash to dodge the long-channel projectile.

Nautilus's Dredge Line Q hook pulls Tahm from 1100 units, outside his Abyssal Dive landing window, and the dash-attached root drags him into Riptide E AOE slow. Depth Charge R chains a knock-up stun on landing,

Blooming Burst (Q) pokes safely beyond Tongue Lash (Q) range and Tangle-Barbs (E) roots before Tahm Kench connects his Q tongue stun. Pop Blossom (R) AOE punishes An Acquired Taste (P) stack windows at melee range and Abyssal Dive (W) telegraphs the dive engage clearly.

Tahm Kench has no ranged smite tool — Consume's true damage on Drake and Baron steals every neutral he tries to contest with basic Smite. Devour can save one ally from Absolute Zero but the AoE damage already ticks before he can spit them out,

Quinn's Vault E dashes off Tahm onto Harrier passive marks, Behind Enemy Lines R lets her side-lane while he is locked in farm, and Blinding Assault Q removes his passive auto-attack chain.

Tongue Lash (Q) is a slow skill-shot and Abyssal Dive (W) takes 1.5s to land — neither is a real escape from Shadow Dash (E) range. Once Shen taunts him he commits to a fight he cannot Devour (R) out of without burning R on himself, and Twilight Assault (Q) chunks his max HP.

Vayne's Tumble Q dashes her outside Tongue Lash range on every auto, and Silver Bolts W applies true damage every third hit that scales with Tahm's max HP — exactly the stat he stacks.
