Tahm is interesting

the way his E works makes him a lot better at being a strong answer to poke and harass combos, and a lot worse at sitting in the middle of a team fight or winning long trades.

It's a pretty interesting niche that hasn't been filled yet, being a tank who can absorb poke and poke back, and while I still wouldn't consider him anything near a good design, this is a respectable step forward.

I think the main issue with this is the timing; game is all about deathballing now, and the poke comp where he would be ideal into hasn't been a thing since season 4. If he ends up truly being weak after people adjust to this/after he appears in pro play, I would prefer enhancing on this niche somehow rather than buffing generic things like damage or basic durability

I'm interested though, Riot, good job

Hes a lot better at dealing with poke defensively but his q did lose a lot of damage since it doesn't apply / stimulate his passive.

Also with maxed e + visage + revitalize his e almost heals him back 100% of the damage he takes. (They scale together multiplicatively so that's why this is possible)

I even consider sometimes getting Mikael`s on him now since it allows him to eat allies and ignore the slow while also speeding him up (while also increasing his e shield and healing)

(Ive tested all healing buffs I mentioned combined and they seem to have a total healing multiplier of 1.79 when under 40% hp for revitalize, not that its important or anything)
