I feel like Tahm will be pick or ban, not because of his damage or low mobility

But because he can basically eat the enemy tank out of the fight for 3 seconds, have his team kill the rest, then spit him/her and kill them.

Thoughts?

In three seconds? Ehhhhhhhh. If the team fails to kill that tank in three seconds, that is now the tank in the front line already sooooo uhhhh.

You know that team fights have been lasting ~15 seconds lately right? 3 seconds is a big deal.

I can see your point, but remember, he has to land 2 autos and his Q or 3 autos and his Q to get close enough to eat them, meanwhile, in a team fight, at this short range, he probably will get kited by the enemy adc and mage very effectively

overall, he'll probably become nuisance level but not pick or ban yet. Thresh can do mostly the same thing more reliably so I figure this guy is going to be around for when the enemy team bans thresh

the most horrifying part though is that his hp recovers based upon how much damage he takes...this means that he can leave the fight and come back with much higher health without having to recall

No, thats not the scary part. If Tahm took enough damage for his E to heal him back to good health, the fight is probably lost. What IS scaryjs the shield portion of it. It shields him based on ALL the damage he has taken, meaning he can shield for his total health if he wanted, meaning you need to burn through nearly two of his health bars before he dies. The healing is only helpful against poke late game, especially with a Spirit Visage.

so he's riot's new ubertank. mundo worked his way into this post DrMundo

we dont' know how long his shield lasts though, but 1 second could save him under tower XD but knowing riot, it will probably be anywhere from 2-5 seconds

Most tanks will have already delivered their "big bang" before getting eaten by him since he needs the three hits off before eating them. The three hits itself can be hard now a days with the Tanks crowd control as well.

TL;DR Tahm will be picked for it, but it wont be as effective as you probably think.
