Holy hell Tahm Kench

I never thought Tahm was overpowered before I saw my top lane tahm teleport to a ward 1v5 in the dragon pit while I'm pinging him to cancel because the team was walking from the first middle tower. Once he was in he was cc'ed by at least 3-4 abilities while taking heavy damage from the whole enemy team. Tahm survived until we got there we cleaned the enemy team up and Tahm walked away with a kill and about a quarter and a half of his health still intact........In my head I'm thinking how the hell did he survive? I have to try tahm top before he gets nerfed

He gets 2 full health bars. That's 100% max hp scaling. Then there's titanic hydra for aoe damage, all of his cc, etc... top, jungle, or support, he's an excellent pick if he can make it to mid-late game.

He's simultaneously probably the most annoying champion to be against when he consumes allies to save them and one of the best scaling champions in the game.

Honestly, there really seem to be a lot of Champions in the 'near broken' group right now. The only reason none are the 60% win rate Warwick from the start of the season is because there are like 6+ champions at once in this state keeping each other's win and pick rates down.

Every single one of his skills (yes, even E) AND his auto-attacks scale with his health due to his ult passive. This means he can build full tank and have tons of damage and (by nature) tons of defense. That's not good design. Most other tanks have, at most, one or MAYBE two moves that scale with their HP Sejuani Braum Shen Taric

Honestly I think that's the biggest problem. His ult passive is a constant and huge power spike. I honestly can't think of anyone comparable. Sure, a lot of champions have a level 6 power spike (Malz, Graves, Vel'Koz, Jinx for example)... but they can use it once every 80-120 seconds, and are much less dangerous while it's on cooldown.
