This is Renata Glasc's own plan; across 737 pooled games the lane is leaning Renata Glasc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renata Glasc | Tahm is a weak level-1 laner whose only tool is a single slow. |
| Level 2 | Renata Glasc | Your level-2 all-in lands before his passive stun can come online. |
| Level 3 | Renata Glasc | At 3 you out-trade a support whose kit is defensive, not poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renata Glasc | Through 4-5 his long-cooldown Devour is baitable and you all-in when it's down. |
| Level 6 | Renata Glasc | Your R engage beats his single-target Devour peel at 6. |
| First item | Renata Glasc | First-item kill pressure beats his grey-health shield in a 2v2. |
| Two+ items | Renata Glasc | Your R flip and chain-heal out-value his one-ally relocation late. |
Tahm Kench is a weak laning support and you press it: at 1-2 his only poke is Tongue Lash, a slow that needs three stacks to stun, so deny him walk-ups by threatening Q-root every time he steps up. Your durability soaks his single Q and your W keeps you healthy, letting you and your ADC own the level-2 all-in window before his passive can come online. His slow costs your carry the exit, so keep the shield-speed unspent until the tongue has landed. Mark him with an auto in the gaps for free damage, tether him on the approach, and keep your ADC moving so his stack count never fires at all.
