Can Tahm Kench get something back?

Now that Tahm Kench has been guttedand everyone forgot can we give him something back the speed boost when running toward enemy champions with a W'ed ally maybe along with the ability to eat allied minions. Remove the ability for alliies to toggle when to come out of tahm's W or remove the self CC on spitting out. sure if some one decides to troll it feels bad but it should be balanced on if it was used properly. Kalista can still pull people out of fights that they want to be in other champions can still refuse to use their spells that would be game changers on the right champions (usually out of preconcived notions that you shove everything into the adc) His E also got mass nerfed with no compensation (you know that word that adcs and mages always get when they eat a nerf).

Now that Worlds is over, I hope the devs have some big plans for the "problematic" champions like Tahm, Aatrox, and Akali. Their mechanics make them very difficult to balance for both pro play and the ladder, and it sucks to see them get dumpstered for us in order to not be pick/ban for the pros.

Large scale work that readjusts how they function would be much appreciated.

They should just remove the ability to eat allies and balance him atound TOP or JG.

Also, making the Q consume the stacks is what ruined him, they must revert that change.

as long as he can eat allies, tahm should not get anything and keep his legs broken

and you suggest to buff his w on allies

lmfao

Man, you whiny ass bitches in the comment make me laugh. If you think tahm is broken, you’re obviously not playing with enough CC. tahm is really strong only when it comes to duelling against fighters and anyone that isn’t a bruiser or an assassin with A-tier or above burst

Tahm kench is a hybrid Warden/Vanguard tank. His warden side comes in the fact that he can eat his allies and reposition them out of danger, and his Vanguard side comes in as him swallowing his allies and walking at the enemy and spitting out the garen who then starts spinning to win

Learn to play him, then you know how to play against him. And im here to say he needs a damn buff

The only thing Tahm should get back is back to back nerfs. Absolutely cancerous whenever he's decent(when he was terrorizing the lane a few months ago, he didn't even have an impressive WR) or strong.

they should at the very least give back his Q giving a stack of acquired taste when it hits

I played ARAM as him last night and while I was the tankiest dude ever, maxing E because it's funny, when it came to any kind of movement, damage or utility, I was just dead weight, basically a W bot for my team mates. Surely that is not what they planned with this champ? A free QSS for people?

Riot, just remove ally eating on W and add some stuff back in to his kit because you know that is the only reason he was picked in pro.

Also, while playing a thought stuck me, Ugor's ult is more fitting for Tahm than Urgot or Tahm's current ult. He eats people. devours them, right? That's Tahm's thing.

Tahm need rework, atm his kit is pure cancer when he play top (not played now but was and it annoing af) Tanky as hell + had more damage than everyone and it was stupid. This champ should not have so much dmg and be only utility but still i think tahm eating skill is one of the most cancer skill in game

ill miss b4 they made the changes to the Q that made him mainstream again.

he was super strong, as I jungled him but nope! let's just change him and put him in the spotlight and completly gut his damage. holy smokes.

Make tahm a jungler, it solves all his issues.
