Tahm Kench vs Warwick Counter Pick

36.8% is a severe result, and the mechanism behind it is specific. Jaws of the Beast deals damage based on the target’s maximum health and heals Warwick for what it deals, which inverts the usual advantage of a champion built around a large health pool. Tahm Kench reaches 2,391 health at level 18 and draws bonus attack damage from that total through An Acquired Taste, so every point he stacks makes the bite that hits him larger.

Sustain compounds the problem. Eternal Hunger adds bonus magic damage to Warwick’s attacks and converts it into healing below 50% health, with a stronger effect below 25%, so the window in which a kill should be closing is exactly where he recovers fastest. Blood Hunt then grants move speed toward wounded enemies and attack speed against them, removing the option of walking away at an identical 335 base move speed.

Infinite Duress finishes the pattern, a leap that suppresses the first champion it hits for 1.5 seconds, which no amount of armor prevents. The 125 games on patch 16.13.1 behind this figure make a limited sample and the grade is Hard, but the direction is consistent with both kits. Warwick attacks from 125 units against 175 and is rated difficulty 3, a forgiving kit to pilot, while his opponent sits at 5.
