Tahm Kench 9.14 nerf is stupid.

So I was playing a kench game today as top, and was wondering why when i tongue lash i wasn't getting the fish icon. Looked at patch notes today and saw that it was removed in the PATCH! WHY!!!! If this is the case you need to remove all passives like this (kai'sai, braum, etc). This is not fair that his passive was nerfed to something that is unreasonable to him. his abilities were what allowed him to even get a good set up for his passive. Now he's complete trash.

I can understand that if I hit someone with Q it removes all stacks, it makes sense. same with kai'sai and Braum's passives. However all of their abilities place stacks on a person. This is just ridiculous and idiotic.

How does Braums W and E place Stacks on a person exactly? Or Kaisa R and E?

They don't, but neither did Tahm's. He meant the q's and I'm fairly sure you already knew that.

Tahms W did put a Mark on enemies if he spat a minion at them. The problem was when they made Tahms QW combo cost literally no mana.

Huh, I forgot about that. I haven't seen a Tahm do that in one of my games for so long that it must have slipped my mind. Anywho he definitely needed some nerfs/power rebalancing but taking out the passive stack on his q is a pretty serious impact. Nobody likes having things shaved off of their champ's kits.

I always feel bad for a tahm that doesn't know the QW combo- it makes wave clear easier against high damage threats and poke champs. I laned against Tahm with Heimer the other day and didn't see him QW once.

Funny part is he's preety much a jg now decent wave clear takes 0 damage from camps cause grey hp gets invaded kill invader.

tahm was way more broken than the other champs you mentioned. It IS fair.
He's still op and picked in pro play.

1> no he freaking wasnt only trash that doesnt know how to kite think Tahm is broken. He is extremely easy to counter if you have the wherewithal and ability to kite and dodge, or if you can do animation cancels.

2.No hes not, pros will always be pros but they removed an essential part of his kit and its abhorrent

Yes, just kite the permaslow...lmao. Animation cancels have nothing to do with tahm...lmao.

The fact that he's being used in pro play kinda says its not essential.
