The Nami 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 Nami 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 31st (versus 32nd for Nami) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 3.4) 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 Nami 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.
