[GAMEPLAY] Bug Using Tahm Kench's Devour Against Minions

I've noticed that Tahm Kench's W is not always working against minions / monsters. When I activite it on a minion, Tahm devours them just fine. However, when I try to reactivate it to spit them back out, it sometimes won't trigger (even tried mashing W, didn't activate it). The minion stays in Tahm's belly until the end of the timer and automatically spits wherever I'm currently pointing with the cursor. I've seen this bug mostly when laning minions. He doesn't seem to have the same problem with champs. Hope this helps!

His W is RNG in a nutshell sometimes it work perfectly, sometimes you can't spit out the minion, and sometimes it spits out the minion at your feet

Even stranger than this, I've had it where I swallow a minion, spit it back out immediately, and the minion is now invulnerable, it can't die until I swallow it again. Weird stuff... Sometimes I eat a minion and the ability goes on cooldown before I can spit it out, meaning all I can do is wait until the time limit is up at which point I spit the minion out. Lots of glitches.

I'm having the same problem. It takes a split second to be able to reactivate after his initial animation so you can spit out the minion. But when it glitches Tahm keeps the minion inside of him until the duration to "reactivate W to spit" has run out. It simply starts the cool-down cycle early without me being able to spit the minion out.

His W is pure fuckery to the highest degree of random bullshit.

I've had this same problem when swallowing champs, and it seems to always spit in the direction tahm is facing rather than the direction of the cursor. Not sure of that second part though.

When I hit my W, whether it be on a minion, monster, or champion, if I attempt to hit the W again instantly, whatever was in my belly just appears on the piece of map I'm standing on, with no damage done to it, and no animation explaining how the cheeky little bugger even got out to begin with.

This is frustrating as hell, if I be patient and swallow something, then wait a sec, it always shoots it out correctly, but I can't do it quickly and that makes him really hard to use.

I'm quite disappointed that you have let this slide through Beta trials as I believe that is a MAJOR issue, and surely someone has picked up on it, if not, the various others on this thread that I just read.

I've had this same problem, I also reported this very same thing.

The minion becoming invulnerable happened to me quite a few times now. Made a quick video of it happening on twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/xhazama/v/7440913

Hope that helps. Not sure what's causing it and it's really annoying :x
