Basically riot refuses to give us official surveys for each change they make..

I want the playerbase to start making surveys for itself to get us all on the same page on changes that appear to be controversial.

Yes go make survey questions for anything regarding game balance or champion/item changes, make one for the ban removal on aaram for all I care, upvoting and downvoting isn't enough since they arnt necessarily specific enough on your stance.

For this survey question.

It's very clear rito doesn't want tahm to eat allies. They should just rework him into a top laner/jungle, much like how this patch pushed him into. Remove the ability to eat allies, and instead change it so that tahm can use his empowered abilities on jungle buffs (3 stacks can q stun or w eat). Maybe they could add him just outright eating big jungle monsters once they're at a low enough health to restore a certain amount of health as well, to make up for him losing the ability to eat allies : /

In doing this, they should up the damage back to his W, so it's somewhere in between where it was pre 9.9 and where it is now. That's just what I think as an Iron II tahm top otp tho

Post what changes you would keep in the thread...or just post general comments lol.

I’ve thought they needed to lower the effectiveness on his W since forever, and it needs to happen to increase his overall health, and wouldn’t you know it, but TK Support is actually rising in WR after the change.

I still think a 95% slow is too much, so if they want him to be a perfect 50 maybe lower it or make it so he can instantly regurgitate someone, but these changes, overall, are very positive, way more than I expected.

Good idea for changes, probably needs some tuning (and obviously bug fix on the q w no mana cost which is making him so strong right now).

I was surprised by how effective the new changes were at making him playable. He's still underperforming as a support but at least now I can effectively perma-slow someone at level 9 and build up charges of my Aquired Taste just with repeated tongue lashes. And before you could rarely Devour an enemy and then tongue lash them right after, which you can do now. I still think he has no role in late game team fights but at least can help someone rotate relatively well after level 11. I pretty much never Devour allies anymore because of how much of a waste it is and if I do it tends to be a quick W+W just to relocate them. You never want to hold on to them. Any Devour use now is purely against enemies, which makes Hail of Blades probably TK's best keystone now because you can stack Aquired Taste very fast.

Unlike most people I don't see the Q+W free cost to be that much of a problem. The poke damage is hilariously poor and you put Devour on cooldown, granted free damage is something we should avoid.
