Tahm Kench and Titanic Hydra

Ironclad Dragon·Aug 18, 2015·9 votes·5,442 views

Seeing how Titanic Hydra's coming soon, here's something I want to bring up. Tahm has three special quotes for buying Ravenous Hydra (even though it doesn't appear in his recommended solo lane items and I've never seen a Tahm buy it). But Titanic Hydra seems a more natural fit for Tahm, wouldn't you agree? It's meant for guys with lots of health, which is exactly what Tahm builds for.

My question is: Could we make it so Tahm says his Hydra lines when he buys Titanic as well? Can the conditions of item lines be changed?

Titanic Hydra isn't "ravenous" though, which is probably the entire reason the lines were thought up in the first place.

I'm like 99% sure that the lines are supposed to be for Titanic Hydra anyway, since Tahm really doesn't build Tiamat at all - they were probably just implemented early so as to not cause problems with missing VO and such

Idk man, I don't know squat about coding so take it with a grain of salt

Primetime Draven has a line for Nashor's Tooth

Yeah but, that's because... well...

"Why would Draven get a Nashor's Tooth? Because Draven."

... yeah.

I'm sorry, but what's stopping "your" Tahm Kench from doing it now? If your Tahm Support actually gives a damn about winning, he won't buy a damage item, now or ever. But Tahm can also be taken top-lane, where he'd most likely buy a Hydra of any kind. Don't see how this would affect your play-style bot.

What's stopping his tiny brain from buying it is not being in the recommended items. Support mains generally have less knowledge than people like me. Also tahm could use nerfs.

First off, Hydra wouldn't even show up in Support Tahm's recommended items; the recommended items actually change for Top Lane Tahm. Second off, you're stereotyping your support as a moron and that he automatically knows less than you; that's uncalled for.

Let me make this clear. Supports win games. Supports can carry games with much mor ease than any other role, but ofc your tiny brain cant comprehend how a support is carrying a game because all you care about is KDA.

Furthermore Fnatic's captain yellostar is also their support, and guess what they are going to worlds after having a perfect split and only losing two games in the play offs.

TL;DR the fact that you didnt read my post just proves my point.
