How the Tahm Kench page is built

Where the data comes from

This Tahm Kench page is built from real ranked Teamfight Tactics matches pulled from the Riot Games API. Ladder games are sampled across regions and ranks, read, and filtered to the current set and patch. The performance numbers, recommended items, synergies, and comps shown all come from how Tahm Kench was actually played in those games.

What this page shows

The summary shows how Tahm Kench performs, with its average placement, top 4 rate, and pick rate, and the insights break this down by star level and by item. Further down you see its traits and synergy partners, the items it is built with most, and the comps that run it, ordered by how often each one appears.

This Tahm Kench data is a snapshot of the current meta and shifts with patches and balance changes. Use the page as a starting point and adapt items and positioning to your lobby.
