So, can we all agree that tahm kench was absolutely gutted?

So, I picked up tahm a couple times after the changes to his shield and passive and such, and It felt bad to me and I got pooped on. I didn't even think about it though because I didn't really care at the time and figured I had just lost my touch with that champion.

Recently, I've been noticing that he hasn't been in a lot of my games, so I figured I'd look up and see if anyone was playing him. I went to the champ statistics on OP.GG and I cannot believe what I'm seeing.

  • 43.11% winrate as support
  • 46.22% winrate as top lane
  • 48.89% winrate as jungler

I know winrates don't mean everything, but jesus christ... what happened? If you think winrates mean nothing, just pick him up and play him. It doesn't feel... right. HIS INTENDED POSITION NOW HAS A 43% WINRATE FFS.

Are there going to be any buffs for him? Or is he just going to rot down there forever?

I dont even care about his W. He has Tryndamere ult on a normal ability. Nuff said.

Tahm Kench is in a good spot right now, the only issue is that he requires communication and good timing with his W, it needs to be managed well. This is something that lower ELO players can't make use of.

EDIT: He also doesn't fit well in the meta because Ashe, Ezreal, Lucian and Cait are popular and can kite him extremely hard.

Yes. We can also agree it's a good thing for game's overall health. He should get some buffs, but I can't really see what could be done to him to make him viable without becoming monstrosity he was not so long ago. Except for i.e. reducing CD on his ult, but I can already see TK's fanbase bitching about turning him into TP bot so...
