How to Play Tahm Kench in ARAM Mayhem

You are the frontline: walk in, hit enemies with Tongue Lash (Q) and attacks to build three stacks of An Acquired Taste, then either Devour (R) a carry or swallow an ally who is about to die. Abyssal Dive (W) lets you engage and can carry that ally out. Goliath and Tank Engine plus Heartsteel and Warmog's Armor stack health, which also raises the damage on your attacks.
