Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Elise wins with a 71.4% win rate compared to Tahm Kench's 28.6%, giving Elise a 42.9 percentage point advantage. Elise dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Tahm Kench players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Elise overextending.
