How to Beat Tahm Kench as Morgana (Support)

While statistically Morgana is slightly stronger than Tahm Kench as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Morgana 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.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Tahm Kench, ranking 34th (versus 34th for Morgana) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Morgana Support versus Tahm Kench Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Morgana 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.

Morgana tips:

  • Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.
  • Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.
  • Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.

Playing Against Tahm Kench

  • When you see Tahm Kench use the shield from Thick Skin, remember that he just opted out of a good deal of healing. He will also not accumulate new gray health until Thick Skin comes off cooldown. Use this to your advantage!
  • Watch out for Kench's Abyssal Dive - you can cancel it's channel with immobilizing crowd control effects.
