[Gameplay] Tahm Kench Devour, Kalista Rend, gives jungle monster 1hp invulnerability.

Firstly I can only use examples of the game that I played in as it requires the two specific champions (TahmTahmKench , KalistaKalista ) and impossible to replicate in a custom when I am playing on my own. However I will do my best to describe to you the events.

As far as I can remember, I as kalista was taking Gromp with Tahm where i had a few spears/ rend stacks in the Gromp when Tahm Devoured the gromp and spat him out at which point I immediately used Rend which took Gromp to either 1hp or just above, when I attacked it again it either didn't take damage or was reduced to 1hp depending on which happened prior. further attacks from myself and Tahm could not kill the Gromp, for maybe around 3-4seconds at which point I believe an auto attack registered as hitting and I received the gold. Later in the game this instance occurred again but on the small red buff monster, where I was taking red buff Tahm Devoured the Smaller monster and spat it at red buff, after finishing red buff i tried to kill the small monster and it again remained with 1hp and impervious to mine or Tahm's damage for a few seconds (3-4), I'm not sure whether I had used Rend on this minion or not. For this reason I am unsure whether this is a problem with the interaction between Kalista's Rend and Tahm's Devour or possibly between Tahm and other champions too, as I have seen him jungling fine solo.

To my knowledge to replicate:

  1. Kalista attacks Gromp
  2. Tahm Devours, and spits out
  3. Kalista rends (possibly)
  4. Both try to finish killing the monster.

Sorry I cannot be of any more help, like I said need a willing participant to replicate the event. People aren't often inclined to help with such matters.

I think this is a Tahm bug, not a Tahm and Kalista bug.

I think what's actually happening is that Tahm's eating a minion right as it dies (or the minion dies inside Tahm). When a champion dies inside Tahm they just kinda fall out, but I bet minions/monsters are coded to be available as a projectile even if they technically died. Tahm spits out the minion/monster (every time I've triggered the bug it's been when the minion was spat out/killed and fell out almost as soon as I ate them) and they are 1hp invincible, just like if you were teleporting to that minion.

It's been scary the few times I've done it next to my tower.
