[GAMEPLAY] Tahm - Using W twice fast on a Minion makes them incredibly tanky

When I do a fast double tap with Tahm's W on a minion/monster to clear the jungle fast, push the lane or poke instantly (so the enemy opposing laner cant react), following bug occurs from time to time:

The Minion/Monster does not get thrown, instead it plops out right in front of Tahm's belly. There is no following collision damage nor devour damage. I am not quite sure about the devour damage, because I've been mostly in a rush (that's why I used the spell afap twice).

I am not sure if the devoured minion/monster becomes incredibly tanky or just stays in stasis. It cannot move, receives no visual damage whether from Champs nor Minions (can be attacked though) and fights back.

I'd say it occures one to two of three times after fast double tapping creeps. Well, I learned that keeping stuff in my belly longer avoids the bug, but that took my ability to clear fast or fulfill surprise poke attacks. From time to time it still happens, (sometimes you just have to be fast and you do not think about the bug). Happened every game so far. I have to point ou, that I am only playing** Twisted Treeline** at the moment. So Idk if the Bug, also occurs on the Rift.

This bug is incredibly annoying. I died 2 times to jungle creeps. One time we could'nt push a tower, because of this fuckin unkillable cannon minion. Three times the opposing laner went all in after he saw my W went on CD for nothing and he won the following trade single handed. Two times I did not get a kill.

I can confirm that the bug also occurs in Summoners Rift. It seems like the minion gets invincible for a few seconds. I also noticed that the minion loses life until there is only a tiny line left and then stays like this.

I can confirm. When playing Tahm Kench in top lane that bug really messed me up

I can confirm, that this happens always, when i double tap W too fast. I also had an experience in a game today when i was 1v1 with Rengar at our fountain and even thou i had all 3 stacks applied i couldnt devour him. I even tried Q and stun has triggered.

As I said in other discussion, this bug happens, if TahmKench uses W again, while minion in mid-air. @Riot , just increase cooldown after 1st part of W to fix it.

Ya. When I eat a minion it will not let me spit them back out until the time runs out on my eat. Don't know if that is what you are really experiencing but happens to me every game. :/

I think I got the same thing happening to me. When I eat a minion, it starts to go on cool-down and it won't let me spit the minion out until it makes me spit it back out. Don't know if other people are having the same thing but happens to me every game TahmKench
