The Lux versus Tahm Kench matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Lux deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Tahm Kench has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Lux is superior vision control (ranked 29th among supports) (versus 34th for Tahm Kench), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lux player to maintain constant pressure on Tahm Kench, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
