They say "changed" instead of nerf in the actual patch notes....so far the "changes" to tahm kench are incredibly underhanded and I`m glad the community has the insight to know they are nerfs.....
As for his E regen being better late game, wtf is he gonna do with that late game, he cant stand back and poke the enemy with his q because it no longer scales with his max health due to the removal of his stacking mechanic on q.
Hes actually very squishy without his E shield so its not that hard to force him to use it, there is very little use with that regen buff...
His jungling is gonna be much less healthy now because tahm`s e is all he has in order to survive jungle, whats the point in making him eat blue/red buff if he barely survives jungle and when he does get to gank he only provides a skillshot single target slow at the cost of rooting himself for half a second....don't say he can stun or devour the enemy because nobody with a dash is gonna stand still and let him auto them 3 times, regardless of if he slowed them or not...
And as a support you literally only pick him to make the lane safe.....so they nerfed his early game to buff his nonexistent late game?
Now lets go back to the patch where they made his ally W self slow + self ground, remember the compensation buff they gave him so they could say it wasn't a "nerf" and instead it was just a "change" to "shift him toplane"?
They buff his q slow, all they ever do is buff his q slow, all that does is make him oppressive against immobile champs, he doesn't need that, he never needed to be stronger against immobile champs.
And what did that q slow buff cost us? His stacking mechanic on q, literally the only tool tahm kench has to deal with anyone who is mobile, THE ONLY SKILL EXPRESSION THAT CHAMP HAS AGAINST ANYONE WHO IS MOBILE, meanwhile he still shits on anyone who`s only movement is right click when it comes to dueling and riot is patting themselves on the back for taking away his stacking mechanic when they should have just reverted the buffs to his slows...
