Who Wins

  • You lose most direct trades pre-6 due to Tahm's superior stats and sustain, but can win through consistent poke and kiting.
  • Post-6 your advantage decreases further as his R makes him nearly unkillable in extended fights.

How to Trade

  • Focus on short poke trades with auto-Q-auto when he goes for CS, then immediately create distance.
  • Use W movement speed to kite backwards and avoid his Q, never allowing extended trades where his sustain and damage overwhelm you.

Wave Control

  • Freeze waves near your tower to force Tahm to overextend for farm, making him vulnerable to ganks and your poke.
  • Avoid pushing unless you can crash a full wave, as being pushed up makes you extremely gankable.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q blind on him when he's not actively trading, as the cooldown is too long and he can easily wait it out.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes or areas without vision, as his Q-W combo can instantly delete you if caught.
