@Riot: Suggestion for Tahm Kench

Raxistaicho··3 votes·657 views

His ally-targeted Devour has too much potential for either trolling other players (eating them and then running under turret) or just screwing them up with well-meaning "saves" that weren't needed and allow enemies to escape (this has happened at least once per game every single time I've played with one in my team since he's come out).

Allies are supposed to be able to leave Tahm's belly at will, but there seems to be a hefty delay before you can do this.

To kind of mitigate this, I suggest that he has to "make a deal" (basically, allies would have to give consent before they can become valid targets for his Devour) with allies before he can use his ally-targeted Devour on them, similar to Kalista and her Black Spear, and allies can revoke consent at any point. While I'm not sure how exactly this would work (possibly in the tab menu, similar to DJ Sona's music?) this would completely stop Tahm screwing up his allies by Devouring them at bad moments while also fitting nicely with his lore.

Please play a champ before you assume problems.

Did you check OP's match history and post a reply before you even read the post?

I agree that the delay is a problem (and it generally feels like a pretty significant delay too). If a tahm eats me up and I don't want him to, there should be an option for me to get out right away.

It's frustrating when a well meaning tahm eats me up to chase down an enemy, even though I'm vayne with upgraded boots (to his normals) and my ult on. Or if there's a troll dude who eats me up right as I'm going to get a kill.

Perhaps to deal with the issue of misclicks have it so as soon as you're eaten a little range/direction indicator comes up and the next left click pops you out.
