@Riot i beg you PLEASE respond. dont let tahm ruin 2016 competitive LoL. pls consider my rework
its been almost a week of LCK tahm kench pick/ban status. i feared kench would ruin 2016 League, wasnt hard to figure out looking at his kit
can we agree that tahm, in his current state, is turning this game into a boring sleepfest
toplane has turned into "which champions can lane vs tahm"
he is a ultratank with godlike 1v1 ability. and hyper lategame scaling
riot. can you PLEASE consider my rework for the kench
if youve ever laned against him. at this point its just getting dumb. also seeing him remove every good play your team does against him. it is NOT enjoyable.
it is not entertaining to watch this in the LCS / LCK. if tahm stays as he is i hope riot does a competitive ban on tahm until his rework
tahm is RUINING the enjoyability / entertainment value of lck / lcs
here is my rework to tahm that will make him more fun to play, more entertaining to watch, and no longer firstpick firstban status. it will be fun to play AGAINST and WITH my new tahm
Q - no longer stuns. instead reduces MR, with greater MR reduction for 3 stacks. im thinking 10% 30% maybe sounds good. slow is 20% and 60% with 3stacks
W - when you eat ANY champion (allied or enemy champion) tahm has a 50% slow applied to him while champion is inside. this makes it so tahm can still eat the ADC to give him a zonyas during a teamfight, but the slow makes it so the good play by the enemy team isnt simply negated
E - the same, but gray health activate has 60 second cooldown at all ranks. meaning tahm is encouraged to get out of combat to get his heal
R- changed completely passive: kench has a permanent self sunfire that deals 30/70/100 magic damage aoe per second. no ap scaling. same range as sunfire
active: kench immediately summons a magical whirlpool beneath him and jumps inside. this happens instantly on cast once kench is inside the whirlpool he is untargetable, and kench can move the whirlpool at a movespeed of 300/325/350 the whirlpool lasts 10 seconds or until tahm presses R to end it once kench jumps into the whirlpoorl, while moving he can click an allied champion to instantly suck them. kench can only hold 1 allied champ in his whirlpool. allied champ in the whirlpool becomes untargetable with kench. the "suck in" range to take an ally inside is about 500 range. when the whirlpool ends (after 10 seconds, or if tahm presses R) tahm and the allied champion inside jump out and spawn at the location where the whirlpool is
whirlpool deals 60/100/140 AoE magic damage per second. small AP scaling. whirlpool aoe range is equal to sunfire. Any sunfires / aoe damage of champions from inside the whirlpool (like kench or his allies sunfire, or karthus AoE) does not do damage from inside the whirlpool
basically the whirlpool is 100% like vlads pool. lasts 10 seconds. ally can jump inside
cooldown: 300 (since its basically a super flash in lane. a garuntee gank escape) / 200 / 100 so with 40% cdr. it has a 60 second cooldown max rank
at first i thought of having allies click the whirlpool to jump inside. but then i realized having allied champions click a big whirlpool could cause problems in teamfights where allies cannot autoattack probably without accidentally clicking the whirlpool
so instead, i think its best to let tahm himself click a champion with the whirlpool to suck them in. give the suck in a 500 or so range. and tahm can only suck in 1 champion. functionally this is the same but you let tahm choose who he sucks in.
also. tahm cannot cast his whirlpool when he is devouring a unit.
