Why is Tahm Kench still viable top?

I though he got nerfed to stop this but he is still there as a ranged magic damage tank licking me down. Please nerf.

simple answer: he's not.

I don't think they were ever trying to push him out of top lane. He was high prio in pro play as a support for some reason, so they nerfed him a bit. Also, what's wrong with tahm being viable top. Looking at the stats, he's barely keeping his head above water as far as his winrates are concerned.

No he did receive nerfs for toplane.

There are many ways of countering him. Just saying.

just exclude how he hard counters tryndamere and can bully out many champions that are unfamiliar with the matchup with Q spam and W passive against poke

Just get familiar with the matchup then. Very simple champ. Don’t die in lane phase. Even if you’re half his CS, any meta top laner will be more useful than him

Then play it yourself? You're probably a tryndamere player too

His early is strong and cheesy, but his late is nonexistent and he doesnt have a combat ult

I thought he was changed to top on purpose

Tahm is a very mechanically intensive champion and has a high skill ceiling.
