This thing is an ABSOLUTE troll, it's fucked up my pentakills, it's been used to drag me away from teamfights (even brief moments have been enough to goof it up)
And lastly I get he's meant to be unique like every other champ is, but an ability like this isn't very helpful, so I have a proposition.
Hard CC'd allies can be swallowed without any choice, while those who aren't can do it similar to Thresh lantern
Ok sure but why1 votesSo Tahm just presses W to throw his tongue out, waiting to be stepped on?

No, I mean like his ult but he can move around and people walk to him to get swallowed by him
UnboundHades1 votesIs this a joke post,u new to leage, or u are too lazy tof stop playing carries and try out tahm
CaptainSeto1 votesSo instead of the tahm getting to use the ability to save an ally who doesn't realize he needs saving, the ally can get themselves killed and the tahm wastes the cooldown. Trust me, there is a reason Tahm can make the choice. When your Caitlyn thinks they'll get that ult kill on the syndra because she's low, and you the Tahm notice a jax getting ready to jump over, along with two other members of the enemy team closing in, you want to be able to FORCE the Cait into your belly so they don't die, not them choose to stay out and get killed because they didn't notice that they were about to die. (That Cait chewed me out btw because "I could've killed her" and then told me to never use my W again ever.).
Sure, Tahm can troll you with it. So what. When that shit saves your life because you didn't realize you were about to die from a gank, or you made a bad move, or pretty much did anything that could end poorly for you, you'll be happy you got the instant help, rather than die because you didn't click on the Tahm because "you didn't need any help". Tahm get's flamed enough as it is, even when he saves your ass. He don't need to also get flamed because "he didn't W me" even though he tried and you didn't click him to get consumed.

the problem is all anyone uses him for is trolling, I have yet to play with a Tahm who hasn't trolled my team or the opposing team.
Baron Barian1 votesAs a Tahm kench main, I find "it isn't very helpful" more adorable then baby yordles.
An enemy we were chasing flashed over a wall to avoid a losing fight, I ate my team's Nasus, flashed over the wall, chased after the guy (which gave bonus movement speed), and the Nasus killed him. Was one of my prouder moments as Tahm. :D
