Upcoming kench changes

I am no expert but these upcoming changes seem to be primarily a nerf to kench? The buff to his q and his e are certainly helpful, but the massive nerf to his w will take away what I thought made up for his lack of impact compared to other tank supports like alistar, his dueling potential.

I am no expert and I look forward to discussing this change.

riot doesn't know what they are doing at this point. they just simply don't care. if you aren't labeled riven zed jax lee sin etc expect to be gutted without recompense if you show up too often in pro play.

These changes are neutral for his support role and a nerf to his top and jungle which i don't believe were problematic The Q is a nerf 1-4 lvls buff 5 and onwards his main strength in lane was 1-4 levels if he could get a lead by then that is when he becomes a champion The W is a nerf for his jungling and a nerf in his early trades until he puts points into it and again later is still a nerf against beefy targets

The E change is great The R is a simple nerf

So indeed i think TK will go down in winrate over all again since the Q slow is hard to abuse in lane early considering he won't be getting 2 qs unless his enemy commits to an all in

How is this neutral for his support role?

They are gonna kill him as a support. He is now slowed by 95% eating an ally? Guess what, it's why he is even played bot lane, for the ability to devour and walk away.

I am so angry right now. All the effort I put into learning Tahm support and they might just ruin him.

higher potential for an all in with the 50% slow his late game is nerfed they don't want him to be the 1 button champion he is now
