[GAMEPLAY] Tahm Kench W Bugs

YingYangYoshi·7/9/2015, 6:58:10 PM·29 votes·4,496 views

After trying him out in a bot match first, I immediately noticed 3 bugs involving Tahm's devour, one of which may or may not be intentional, but wasn't mentioned in the tool tip: 1- If a minion is devoured and immediately spat out, on occasion (happened 3 times in my first playthrough) the minion will land at Tahm's feet instead of being spat out. In addition, the minion cannot be killed for a period of about 10 second. First did this one near a tower, and he continued to tank turret shots well past the point the minion should have died.

2- On 1 single occasion, after devouring a minion, the game simply put my w on cooldown while the minion was still in my stomach, so I couldn't spit him back out until the duration of the spell ended.

3- (This is a "bug" i'm not sure is intended, but could possibly be) After using his ultimate to gank a lane, his Devour was put on cooldown at arrival. It seemed to happen every time I ulted, so It may be intentional.

Tahm is fun, but these little issues will probably need to be addressed very soon.

Can confirmed 1. I've also noticed that pressing W on a target won't walk into range to cast the ability. I have to manually walk to them.

Yeppers, I love having to auto a minion with 1 health 7 times before it dies. Also, when immediately spat out it does zero damage to the consumed minion as well as no aoe damage when it is expelled. I continuously accidentally do this and it makes me angry every time :(

I can definitely confirm both 1 and 2. I was actually here to report this myself. Glad someone else has already experienced it. It does seem that when you devour a minion and try to spit it out before it is completely devoured that the minion falls to the ground immediately and becomes invulnerable to Tahm or just puts W on CD and will spit him out at the end of the spell duration. One instance of the W bug where the minion fell to the ground cost me a kill.
item 3070 item 3070

I'll report back with any other findings.

Thanks!

I have been testing his W bug for #2 and it seems it happens whenever you immediately right click to move during the devouring animation; it puts your W on cooldown so there isn't a way to spit it back out on command.

This bug happened all the time whenever I right clicked to move during the animation.

To avoid it you can let the animation finish before right clicking to move. However, this bug happened a few times when I let the animation happen.

Aside from the ones you already listed, i have two of my own as well, sometimes, i use "w" on my ally and it simply won't work, i have to do it multiple times, and the other one is more annoying, i click to devour a target and sometimes he devours someone besides my target, happened to me twice in my last game, i clearly clicked a champion and he grabbed a minion, then i tried to grab an ally and he grabbed another one who was near.

I would hope they don't wait till the next patch to fix these bugs.

I had a bug with him last game where i couldn't eat my friendly fiddle at all. i even told him to go out of combat and sit there while i spammed w on him. i could not eat him at all and it got us both killed one time. i really feel this bug needs to be addressed.

I've experienced 1 and 2. 3 is probably intentional.TahmKench

Phalus Fellator7/10/2015, 1:41:29 AM2 votes

Also if you spam his ult you end up doing the cast over and over instead of diving and heading to the location you targetted. Only happened once but it was still annoying as fuck

#2 happened to me quite frequently and in many cases would scew up the intitate.

TwiIightSparkle7/10/2015, 10:06:35 AM1 votes

I found a bug and heres a step by step.

  1. Get devoured by TahmKench as Brand or Ahri
  2. Select ability, or spell like summoner 4
  3. The option to choose when you spit out by yourself is cancelled by your spell selection
  4. Messes up game tactics and timing.

I love Brand new champions, but in the beginning they contain a lot of bugs to be squashed

On occasion (I believe if it's used to damage something other than itself), a devoured minion/monster will refuse to die for a few seconds (1 HP).

Tahm's W has been giving him a speed boost when holding an ally and running away from enemies. The boost is only suppose to exist when running toward enemy champions. This was just repeated multiple times and completely broke a match.

Number 1 is one of those things that makes you freak out and think "I broke the tower, now this is a free tower to kill for the enemy team!"

Xela Syab7/10/2015, 7:31:25 PM1 votes

The bug i see here is that you're using it on minions.... you're that kind of soraka.

Glad that it isn't server-based - I've been having the same problems as the first 2 you noted. 2nd problem is more common than the first one, because in laning, I've been unable to re-spit the minion back out for poke, meaning that I had to turn towards my opponent so the minion would launch in that direction. I've only had the 1st problem once, in a bot game, but spitting out a cannon minion would result it in being invincible for a short duration.

I have encountered the w bug repeatedly and it seems like if you move right when you devour it sets it on cooldown

Motiv8r7/10/2015, 11:16:55 PM1 votes

Confirming 1 and 2. Ive played him several games and had these happen. Also, as another posted, I cant eat the ally champions at all points, seems to happen more out of combat when i am trying to get them to a destination faster.

Kai Guy7/11/2015, 1:47:13 AM1 votes

Can confirm 1 as well as 2. as far as 1 goes , when i had it they lost hp but would never drop below 1hp until duration of tahm w was over, regardless of if they sat there getting whompped on by tower,, minions, and tahm. Note that personalty i have only seen bug 1 on cannon minions and only when i Q W W to try and aoe clear a wave. Will keep an eye out n see if i can pin the necessary steps to 100% recreate it. 2 can be annoying.

Zerocool38097/11/2015, 5:49:18 AM1 votes

i like to know how these bugs got out of pbe bc at least one of these happens every game

O Gajo8/3/2015, 11:51:34 PM1 votes

There is also another bug, the damage dealt to a devoured minion sometimes exceeds the maximum damage allowed

TheIrr3gular7/10/2015, 2:24:19 AM1 votes

I also had those problems and this last game I noticed that I couldn't eat Jax (who was on my team) and I could eat everyone else. Don't know if there are other champions with that problem with Tahm, but Jax is the only one I've had a problem with yet.

I was just coming to post these things but can confirm all 3 things have happened to me multiple times in the two different matches I played with him. Though I don't know if #3 is intentional or not. It happens even if I don't bring anyone with. I've had the bug where the minion becomes invulnerable to damage happen multiple times. The last time it happened it was the last minion alive and with a sliver of health and didn't die while a large wave of my minions attacked it. I asked Swain who was in lane against me in all chat if he saw that and was as confused as me. Many times when I devour a minion it will get spit out instantly at my feet. So far they've just been pretty annoying, nothing game breaking.

I've noticed that you can still be targeted if eatin by Tahm on either it's happened to me 3 times today

RagedHitman7/10/2015, 5:05:45 AM1 votes

I was just logging on here to report the same bugs all 3 but to add to 3 im not sure if its suppose to be that way or my teammates are just freaked out that i ate them but right after i w and spit them out they dont move as if they stunned..

and after ult them to a location they dont move for like a 1.5 sec..as if i stunned...

and a couple of times it seem like when i W to save someone who was about to die i see them go in my belly with like 30 hp then boom they dead and the animation looks like he is swallowing

anyone else have these problems

Zerocool38097/10/2015, 5:15:18 AM1 votes

i came on here to report number 2 but havnt noticed the other two yet

Nomeh7/10/2015, 5:18:13 AM1 votes

Reactivating his R very quickly puts it on the cooldown of 10 seconds. I would much rather the animation play out and go to my destination alone as fast as possible. Anyone having this issue?

Lil Gr33n Ghouls7/10/2015, 5:37:52 AM1 votes

1 and 3 have happened to me numerous time.

Skoonie7/10/2015, 6:24:48 AM1 votes

I had a teammate playing TK who could summoner 4 over the wall while I was still inside him. Pretty sure he's not supposed to be able to do that.

Thy Father7/10/2015, 7:31:24 AM1 votes

Confirming all three bugs were experienced for me as well. #1 also happens when using w on jungle monsters.

As a side note, even when i swallowed people with w, if they had ignite on them they would still be damaged and die from ignite.
