R- Abyssal Voyage

  • Passive Effect Changed to: Tahm Kench's basic attacks and abilities deal 6/7/8 (+2/2.5/3% bonus health) bonus magic damage for every stack of An Acquired Taste on the target upon hitting them. (NOTE: This bonus damage no longer applies to damage from Devour due to enemies that are devoured having all of their Acquired Taste stacks removed from them. This also means a target with no stacks on them takes no extra damage.)

I didn't want to just flat out nerf him (although it is in most situations), instead making his gameplay revolve a lot more on getting stacks from his passive. Also adds more thinking for "Should I Devour this enemy or wait a bit and try and get more damage off of my ultimate passive?" Also makes it so Tahm Kench can't just eat a target and then spit them out for an instant nuke. IT ALSO means that a target eaten by Tahm might not be marked for death, for if Tahm is killed quickly enough then the target won't take the full Devour damage. Thoughts from Tahm mains and Tahm victims?
