Tahm Kench's Health to AP Damage

Asudurga··2 votes·514 views

As we all should know, TahmKench has one of the best health to damage ratios in the game, I have been getting complaints in game by the enemy team for two shotting a full build mid laner or ADC before making a snack out of their sated full build jungler, and I want you all to tell me if he needs this damage or not.

Opinions are welcome here! [slayer-jinx-wink]

The HP-to-Damage is an important part of his identity. The tuning may be off, however.

It feels like a needless gimmick that Riot tacked on because the active effect on his Ult was too underwhelming. I play TK a fair bit and he does seem very disproportionately strong for someone who pretty much builds straight HP.

I've always thought a good nerf would be for his passive needing to stack seven times to stun/devour. Players would need to opt for a Wits End instead of a spirit Visage--his core sustain item next to Mogs--in order to achieve the offensive capability he has now--a change that doesnt greatly disrupt his fundamental mechanics. It would also make his initiation a fair bit weaker since he couldn't just mess up someone outright just by tongueing them and jumping in their face. This change would justify the added damage from his Ult, I feel.

Either that or a new map-mobility Ult altogether, something that isn't tied to his damage. That's just my opinion though.

Seven stacks would probably require its damage to get a HUGE buff, as it'd be ridiculously hard to get it all up. Darius would get his passive up faster and penta dunk before Tahm managed to eat anyone.

In my opinion, Tahm's passive stacks should get a timer change depending on how many stacks are on them. And they should also all disappear at once.

E.G: 1 Stack lasts for 5 seconds, 2 stacks for 7 seconds, 3 stacks for 9 seconds.

This would be an overall duration nerf against people who get low stacks on them.

PS: Building a Frozen Mallet on Tahm is overall more effective for what he gets than a Warmog's.
