How to play it

Don't get caught
You don't win the 1v1, so dodge his Q and never get picked trying to duel him.
Win the map
You don't need to beat him in lane: shut down his bot lane where you're the difference.
He's building AP
Tahm is going full AP here, so respect his magic damage and value magic resist.
Never try to solo-kill Tahm in a straight fight: you lose the 1v1, so play around your team.
