Do you know about how if you flush a goldfish they sometimes end up in lakes and ruin the ecosystem?

In the Wild, Goldfish Turn From Pet to Pest

Goldfish invasions start with a disconnect between how people view goldfish and what goldfish are like in the wild, Dr. Beatty said. “Once you introduce something into a new environment — even if it’s a cute, cuddly aquarium fish — it can have quite unexpected, serious biological consequences.” (Direct from the article i cited).

This is LITERALLY IN EVERY SENSE, TahmKench

You flushed him out of support into the festering lake that is top lane and now hes an invasive species becoming super oppresive and incredibly hard to kill. In my opinion he´s one of THE strongest lane bullies. Beats Darius, beats Vladimir, beats Illaoi, beats Renekton. He walks up to you with his grasp proc up, hits you with his practically unmissable skill shot with a 8 second cd with no cdr at lvl 1 no damage items and kills you in 2 combos with 3 autos and a W. this absolutely sucks to play against. Take one wrong step in the lane and he absolutely stomps you. Not to mention that his q slows AND STUNS.

And just think, there were Tahm Kench "memorial threads" just a month ago.

Soon enough someone on the esports team will ask "Where is Kench?" and this abomination will only grow stronger as misguided buffs arrive for "variety", 'the viewers", and "dem plays".

From a solo laning menace, to an all-game S tier monster

We have lost much time, we cannot afford to quarrel amongst ourselves any longer. We must begin the sacrifices in order to kill this abomination whilst it still rests in its cradle.

I actually agree with this goofy post, for the most part. The range on his AA and his devour are both deceptively long, and even running Phase Rush with the Hit+Run Tactics that I use against other tanky/bully champs I still can't do anything against him(as a Diana 1-trick at least) in a solo lane. If I get within the range of his AA or Q whether to CS or to trade, I'm going to be combo'd and devoured - There's nothing I can do to stop it, I can only hope that I deal enough damage first to make it a fair trade.

fuck this cancer champ. literally forces you to give up laning phase unless your jungler camps your lane

Here's the thing: If you survive a whole 15 minutes of his utter bullshit in top lane, your odds of winning the game skyrocket. Kench falls off hard as fuck as a solo laner and now he can't support well as a fallback plan.

Even if he kills you once or twice, as long as your other lanes don't ALSO shit the bed, you can just have your other lanes win the game for you.

I actually managed to beat one playing Irelia.

I am terrible with Irelia.

So i mean,....isnt he just another counterpick up there that hardstomps a few meta picks while being average or bad against the rest?

I think TahmKench could be a little bit weaker in top and a little bit stronger as supp, but I think he should be allowed/encouraged to flex between both positions. He can be frustrating, and it can feel impossible to get away from him before he kills you if he's ahead, but I don't think he's really worse to play against than a different champion who can simply kill you faster in the same situation.

I'd say delete this from his Devour: When used on an enemy, half of Devour's cooldown and mana cost are refunded.

And nerf his Q scaling: Damage the first enemy hit for 80/130 120/180 160/230 200/280 240 (+70% Ability Power) magic damage and slow them by 50~~/55/60/65/70~~% for 2s.

And compensate with this on Thick Skin: Passive: 80/85/90/95/100%of the Damage taken while this ability is not cooling down is converted to gray health. If allowed to decay, 20/25/30/35/40% of gray health will turn back into health. Active: Convert all of your gray health into a shield that lasts 3 seconds. Shield amount is equal to 80/95/110/125/140% of the gray health consumed

The nerfs will make it easier to disengage from Tahm before he manages to kill you, while the buff will make Tahm feel more durable. I think this would be a good change that runs counter to damage creep. Tahm won't necessarily be able to punish opponents as hard for maybe a wrong step in laning, but Tahm will be tanky enough to go where he pleases in teamfights.

And to slightly encourage jungle Tahm, add this added to Devour: (against neutral monsters, deals true damage instead and gains +100 base damage, capped at a total damage of maximum of 400/450/500/550/600 against neutral monsters)

This will make Tahm's Devour feel somewhat similar to Nunu's Consume ability for jungling purposes.

Who the fuck even came up with the idea that flushing animals down the toilet was a good idea in the first place? Imagine having YOUR funerall via being in a casket flushed down a giant toielt.

Keep him top then, sounds like he fits in perfectly fine there.

kench has a long history of being both top and support tho. as a matter of fact on release he was abusive top because of his ult passive on release which forced riot to rework his ult not long after. all we are doing now is coming full circle.

Yorick counters him really good because his skill shots keep hitting his ghouls and you can do this again is 15 seconds making it a good poke
