Tahm Kench eating priority

I dont know if this is because of the change in patch 5.16, if its still occurring, or what... but i still want to address the concern of wrong targets being consumed with w...

in patch 5.16 it says for changes to tahm: PICKY EATER Now prioritizes Champions over Minions

this seems to make it so that, even if you select a minion to eat on purpose, if there is an enemy champ with 3 stacks, or a friendly champion very close to that minion, they get eaten instead of the minion tahm has selected to eat.

please DO NOT assume im messing up when i "misclick" ... give players the ability to eat what they select to eat, instead of going with the; "oh you really meant to eat this even though you didnt click it" approach

this has gotten some situations pretty messed up, and there isnt really anything i can do about not misclicking, but eating the wrong thing anyway. please remove this

never should a system be put in place like this in a pvp competitive game. if you misclick, its your fault and you should deal with the mistake you made. if you dont misclick, you shouldnt end up doing the wrong thing anyway

hmm no comments and 1 downvote... guess i need to explain in more detail why this is a bad idea...

there are way too many scenarios that could ever possibly happen in this game to rule out the best choice never being: id like to eat a creep to do some aoe damage, or distance damage. whether its to clear room for skill shots, get a kill on a low and escaping enemy, or certainly many other reasons.

it seems as tho the riot team has decided that eating a creep for options such as these is not feasible, (over wanting to save a teammate or eat an enemy champion) which simply isnt the case (although, could also easily be the case, in SOME scenarios, or even most). therefore you shouldnt put a system in place that rules out / prioritizes this possibility in certain scenarios (like if you wanted to eat a creep to do one of these things while a friendly champion is right next to it, or enemy champion that is ready to be devoured) and rule out others, even if that is what you clicked, and normally would be able to do (if the creep wasnt in close proximity to a champion)

dont make that choice for us please. misclick or not, do the command entered like a computer command should
