Tahm still banned in like all my games...

Weasel Kensei··3 votes·700 views

No matter now broken Xin be at snowbawllin, or Udyrs Kenyan running speeds get out of control... TK is pretty much 100% banned in my games.

Gratz on making a champ thats SO ASSTASTIC to play against, people ban him every game and most of the time before they ban Xin.

Also good job on that Xin buff Riot that made him even stronger than Udyr, who is supposed to be getting nerfed because hes too strong... Udyr getting nerfed, cause too strong... Xin buffed to higher win% than Udyr...whatever.

The point is, despite those monsters, sometimes people skip banning them, so they dont have to fight Tahm Kench.

I think Jhin was the first champ in a LONG while that people dont just abjectly HATE playing against. Opinions will vary, but many of the early thoughts on him was that Riot had released a champ that seemed fairly balanced, and wasnt an exercise in irritation to play against.

My real hope is, if were going to have all kinds of crazy ups and downs in flavor of the month balance, can we at least have the next half dozen champs not make people want to punch the champ designers for making utter abominations dedicated to frustrating people?

the only reason people don't hate playing against jhin is because he's incredibly weak

I don't see why everyone is calling jhinn weak... give it a bit he'll get played in the lcs and then be everywhere.

no...he won't...

he's currently with a lower win ratio than urgot and that is quite the accomplishment, his damage is spot on, but the reload and his basic attack range just makes it impossible to trade both botlane and midlane, and his reload/attack speed means you will get only 6 autoattacks in a teamfight, and that is just beyond terrible

Also now that i mention urgot, expect urgot to actually see LCS after the buffs they are planning for him hit live

He as been played in pros, and failed. He takes to long to come on line in these shorter matches and even then he still gets out damaged by other adc's.

He was played 1x in the pros...and although the team lost, he played incredibly well. (The only one on their team who played well at all, to be honest).

To the op's point: people ban champs a lot of times just because they see him banned all the time. I have no idea the state of TK, or xin, or Udyr, or Jhin, etc. because I have only played against each one like 1x...

Didn't the other team camp him all early game too?

I still have yet to play a match and really notice Jhin having any kind of impact on the game. He is just kind of there and every now and then he will pop his ultimate and get some nice kills. Other than that, he is just in the back sucking ass or getting killed by assassins as he tries to limp away.

At higher elos, tahm doesn't get banned because xin, udyr, kog'maw, fiora, gangplank, and zed can kill him so fast. I'm still waiting for the next wave of nerfs so i have more control in champion select for ranked.

I don't really fear Tahm or anything. I don't think he is broken. I'd just rather not go through the frustration of playing against him.

Two things:

  1. Tahm Kench is not broken/OP/raid boss level insane. When they nerved him the 1st time, people finally realized that he is ridiculously kiteable and gets destroyed by any atack damage carry with half a brain.

  2. The real reasons why Jhin is not hated is that he's not a 3-proc herpderp champion who has a ability(s) that makes them nigh-unkillable. Another reason why he's not hated is that he was underpowered/weak on release (Maybe on purpose to see where he is and not repeat the Skarner fiasco) if you look on the PBE/Unofficial patch notes, they are buffing his armor, his movement speed, and his health regeneration.
