Please DO NOT remove Tahm from the support role.

As a support main that has played since the ending of season 3 AND has been active on ranked since I've hit lvl 30, I can confidently say that the current changes riot has planned for Tahm (mainly his W) will effectively remove him not only from pro play, but just support in general. I pretty much one tricked the big guy for 2 seasons until his recent "adjustments" (nerfs). During that PBE Cycle, I tried him out on the PBE and really REALLY hated explaining why I wasn't able to save my teammates as often. I was very disappointed that despite the community disliking the changes AND being very open about it, that RIOT still went with the nerf and didn't seem to care what we thought, only about pro play. The EXACT same thing is happening now and I feel the same results will occur, Tahm is going to be unplayable and riot wont do anything about it for another 6 months. We need to really let our voices be heard! we need to unbench the kench! Nerfing his ONLY utility tool will NOT make him easier for low elo players, especially without REAL compensation, not just damage, not just mana and not just a SLIGHT slow increase. Take it from a Tahm main that used him to get from Bronze to Gold in the past two seasons with over 700K mastery with him! (and with Tahms winrate never exceeding 50% in solo queue, thats not bad) The ONLY way I'll accept these changes is if they made it where tahm could Q+W his teamates. Personally, I think the 95% slow should be 50% AT MOST! Ok, those are my thoughts, what do you all think?

just get 30,000 movement speed so when you eat someone you are 300 movement.

He's had his day, it's good to refresh the meta champion roster...

Also these changes won't kill him (he'll be firmly out of the meta but still viable in lower elo if you're good with him), it'll just mean his devour is used purely for cc removal, he can't W flash now which is good, honestly, giving an ADC 2 flashes in a fight is always a bad thing. Also if tahm W's and you spit out the other side of him, you still travel the length of flash

I look forward to seeing what they eventually compensate him with to bring him back

Your favorite champion is getting gutted? Good. Him and pyke should honestly be reworked into completely different champions. I mean talk about mediocrity... Pyke's design forgives the user for being bad, with healing, invis and movement speed and Tahm forgives anyone who should get demoted for being bad and that makes the stupidest plays you could ever witness. Basically if you are mediocre play Pyke and if you suspect someone (adc) should be playing other games instead of league then play Tahm by removing them from the map entirely. I did not complain one bit when they reworked Dravens passive, even though I was a Draven one trick. And that is BECAUSE I was one tricking him. I understood how 'toxic' his old passive was and actually agreed with it's removal. What? You have to play smart with Tahm as a support now? Nooooo. Anything but that... right?
