Tahm Devouring Jg Buffs

Hey guys! So I know Tahm is new, and regardless of how good this post turns out changes probably wouldn't be seen for a bit as they work on any post launch balance changes he may need. However this post is a two parter about Tahm and his inability to devour some of the more savory rift creatures, specifically Red and Blue buff.

1. Why can't Tahm eat buffs?

2. What if he could?

I'm going to try and discuss my thoughts on the two, and then I would love to hear thoughts from both the community and Riot if were lucky.

Starting with the first, I can see why Tahm isn't aloud to eat the buffs, the 20% (starting) health damage on Tahm would give him startling wave clear (we assume) in jungle. However, considering that it would only speed up 2 camps (the buff camps) I don't think it would be that startling of a difference. Considering I can already do a full jg clear as Yi before the first camp respawns. Also as it is Tahm's wave clear isn't great to begin with from what I've seen and played, so if it put him ahead of other, I don't think it'd be by that much. And if it became a large problem, just nerf the Devour effectiveness on jg creatures like often happens with overpowered jungles (looking at you sion >.>)

Now secondly we have to ask ourselves what could we do with the Devour Power (it rhymes, I like it)

1. It would be great to eat Blue Buff and then run it over to my mid laner, spitting it out with no health in jg for them to get the easy buff. Team play! :D

2. A faster wave clear for a tank jg, Its not a bad thing! just ask !

3. A larger menu for our favorite chef on the rift.

4. End Rift segregation! If Cho can eat in jg then tahm should be able to too!

5. Also to go along with this, still has her lovely ability to chuck a buff at your face in jg, I'd love to see more of that. Along with Syndra's ability to chuck Buffs at your face, did you know the ability also has extra effects when its done? (small amounts of true damage on Red, Cdr and mana on Blue) I'd love to see this with Tahm's Regurgitate! :D

So what are your thoughts guys? I'd love to hear them!
