Will Tahm Kench get any buffs or changes reverted in the near future?

He feels really bad to play right now and is sitting at a low win rate.

Honestly bro i main 4 champs, 3 of them being Maokai, braum, and tahm kench; Once any of them were dominant or found a viable place in pro they got gutted or left to stay in that place permanently. Doesn't matter how many times you complain or make giant post with good points they will not change these champs UNLESS they have a skin coming out, regardless how bad they are in solo q.

  • Maokai fuking sucks atm in ever role, but since he becomes so dominant in pro if there is tank meta he will forever be in that stage. Now im pretty sure riot is trying to shift him to the jungle which i dont mind, so they gave him a pretty decent buff march, but that was his only buff this season.

  • Braum is the support with the second lowest winrate atm, but since he so good in premade teams he is naturally good in proplay. So they will never touch him again cause he found a good spot in pro play.

  • Tahm Kench, bro this dude is never getting changed ): Sometimes champs get lucky when they reach proplay, they get nerfed, and are in a decent spot in solo q. Then riot will actually move em around a bit until they are useful in solo q. Tahm Kench must be the most unlucky champ in the game in terms of this regard. Riot gutted his supp and moved him top where he became a nightmare for regular players. Then they nerfed him again and due to the negative feedback top, now most of lol community hates his guts. There no way riot is touching tahm cause no one likes tahm, with the exception of mains. He is not a skin seller and his fan base depleted after his support identity was stolen and the trauma he caused top lane.

My tip is find a main that has a decent fan base, so when riot fuks them up you have a whole ass community backing you up. For me tat comes in the form of Thresh as my last main. As for the other 3 i pull them out very situationally, like only if they fit on the team very well. Also since you asked about tahm, he went from being one of my main supps to one of my junglers. Tahm with Hail of blades is pretty good, just gank when they used their dash and its a easy kill.

Unfortunately accurate, shame they don't use the PBE as a beta like they used to either, then maybe they wouldn't have forced so many horrendous changes through.

Unfortunately they're going to stay gutted because Maokai, Braum, and Kench are all super uninteractive when they're even remotely good. Maokai is unkillable while also CCing endlessly, Braum blocks everything that you want to do while CCing, and Tahm Kench makes any sort of engage useless since he can just W and use either Cleanse or QSS to get away. If any of the three are strong, they force everyone else in their role to be a check of "can this champ match up?" If not, they're useless, if so, they're meta and probably broken as well

no. Probably not sadly

The pro's pick Tahm so he definitely will not get buffed (since it seems Riot balances only around the pro's).

But I agree with you... he needs changes.

Sounds like I shouldn't get my hopes up for any changes which sucks because he's my favorite champ, but I guess I'll just have to move on to another champ.

A champ like Kench has no place in league. He will be gutter status until further notice.

I really, really, really, really hope not.
