Only buff Tahm needs

A slight increase in his base attackspeed. Currently he has the 3 lowest in the entire game. Buffing that will also help his toplane position.

You could say that about all tanks who go top lane. The answer is using attack speed marks

I dont necessarily think tahm needs any buffs, because he feels pretty strong already. If he does though, that would be the place to do it.

I think it might be so low to keep you from building a bunch of attack speed on him. A Tahm with something like item 3153 item 3091 item 3071 item 3143 item 3068 would be pretty freakin annoying. Right now its better to stack a bunch of health instead of building the BC/BotRK, but that would change if he scaled well with attack speed.

It doesn't really have todo with his attackspeed scaling. It's more his trading that worries me. In the game from fanatic vs origen I noticed a fell 1v1 trades between Braum & TahmKench . Braum litterly managed to prox his passive off before Tahm. In both 3 trades adc where not involved.

Also in that game I don't think TahmKench ever managed to get 3 stacks off after the lane fase. So he didn't eat anyone of the enemy team that one game.

Alternatively why not let his Q stun on 2 stacks. Would make him combo more scary. To compensate maybe cutting his ult onhit damage a bit.

why him and not the other 2 with lower AS?

The lowest is that is a mage with 575 attack range.
The second lowest is
The 3th lowest is shared between & . Nautilus only need one AA to trigger his passive. Singed playstyle is not involved arround his auto attack.

I don't think it has to be a massive buff. Just something average like 0.625 base attackspeed. That would still put him in the 4th lowest class but than he can actualy manage to win a stack duel vs a braum that starts with 0.644 base attackspeed... I fear if they ever need to nerf braum it probaly will be in that area.
