Tahm Kench Nerfs are terrible

Tahm Kench's devour nerfs are ridiculous, he was already a niche pick against pick comps, and now his only useful feature has double the cooldown with no compensation to the rest of his kit. The balance team has made a ton of poor decisions this season, but this one takes the cake for me. Going to uninstall until next season, hopefully this dumpster fire will recover.

Yeah because giving a teammate a "get out of jail free card" every 6 seconds was really fucking balanced.

This was a nerf via competitive play btw.

There are plenty of get out of jail free cards in the game that dont even require two teamates to pull off, they can be very balanced actually.

Ehh i played Tahm and wow he felt broken. He can save any ally for 6 seconds, basically moving zhonyas where he can spit them over walls lol.

Pretty ridiculous. I played him 1 game in ranked with no previous experience, and just destroyed.

This. Devouring an ally was way too strong for how low the CD was.

The nerf was definitely warranted.

Maybe. But leaving him with nothing in return wasn't.

I wouldn't see a problem with that except whenever they so much as cut a fingernail on their favorites, they give them a god damn ak47 as "compensation"

Didn't expect they nerfed him couple of months ago (his E), didn't expect they would have totally killed him now.

I like how they can always do worse, every time. It's not easy :D

I'd rather they rework kench than nerf him like this

Tahm has a massive presence in professional league of legends. I know that doesnt matter to me or you but at this point its Braum/Tahm every single game. And that gets old to watch.

Completely ignoring that the TK Q buff was actually massive, because now the Q CD with any CDR is lower than the time it takes for passive to decay.
