Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.6% popularity, Tahm Kench constantly encounters meta-dominant Morgana (5.6%, 13th place out of 53 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Tahm Kench performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Grasp of the Undying + Shield Bash combination (63.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Heartsteel, Thornmail, Unending Despair, and Mercury's Treads boosts your chances from 41.7% to 67.3% - potentially game-changing.

Vision deficit: Struggling in both the matchup and vision control (0.87 vs 1.01 wards/min) demands defensive warding and heavy jungle coordination. Damage doesn't equal wins: Tahm Kench outputs more damage (587 vs 539/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Morgana: leads in both matchup win rate (58.3%) and KDA (2.70 vs 2.30, 21st vs 36th place). Tahm Kench players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Morgana as Tahm Kench (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Tahm Kench deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Morgana deals primarily magic damage (85.83%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Morgana, ranking 2nd (versus 27th for Tahm Kench) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Tahm Kench Support versus Morgana Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Tahm Kench player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Morgana player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

    Tahm Kench tips:

    • Your most important function as a support is to keep fragile allies safe. Keep Devour's range and cooldown in mind and position accordingly!
    • Consider carefully when to use Thick Skin's active. Sometimes shielding early to avoid further damage is good, but sometimes the healing is more beneficial.

    Playing Against Morgana

    • Tormented Shadow deals tons of damage to units missing large amounts of Health. When low on Health, be wary of Morgana's attempts to trap you within its reach.
    • Morgana often needs to land Dark Binding to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding.
    • Black Shield makes Morgana immune to disabling effects, but can be broken with magic damage.
