Tahm Kentch 100% Slow Resist. Stormraider's Surge + Boots Of Swiftness.

CyrosGold··60 votes·9,176 views

Patch 6.1 included an update to Stormraider's Surge that gives it a 75% slow resist while active. Add boots of swiftness and you get a 100% alow resist, add Tahm Kench and his devour..and you get this.

Basically with a quick Auto/Q/Auto/Devour combo I suffered no slow from Devour while under Stormraider's Surge, and went from a 400 move speed to a 510. Note: you have to deal 30% of the targets max health so this is best on squishier champs or if you build a lot of HP/AP.

I think it's a pretty smart combo.

It Broken , yeah - but it's impossible to pull of as well. ^^

That's why - everything is fine.

How is it impossible? Auto q auto w and boom.

Titanium701 votes

That was Soraka Bot - No Runes, No Masteries, No Brain.

You need to deal 30% of max health as DMG before you can get this Buff. A Kench who can do this in AA-Q-AA has either a pretty dumb build or is fed as .. u know.

This seems like its really broken, but I dont think it really is... Its pretty hard to do and once you get someone with W, hes probably dead anyway lol

Stormraider's Surge just got its update and people want it nerfed bacause it effectively can make TahmKench 'w' debuff while devouring an enemy champion null and void if done right. But think of it this way. At least he has a choose to pick different keystones depending on how he plans to play him.

Slow resist doesn't stack additively afaik it stacks multiplicatively like tenacity

Doesn't really matter, any percentage of that slow left is eaten up by the MS buff. Plus he's not including the 15% from the resolve tree.

CyrosGold10 votes

can't get that 15% and stormraider's Surge. I'm not sure how the math works but here I go from a 400 to a 510 which seems to match with the 30% ms increase I get from stormraider's after MS soft cap. Meaning I'm seeing none of the slow from Devour So it appears to be a 100% slow negation. Of course when I did my old video on Tahm Kench and slow resist back in season 5 I noticed that Slow resist is mathematically applied AFTER the Slow MS cap. Meaning it applied based on a 70~ish% slow rather than a 90% slow.

Z Statistic2 votes

Since the element is new and required new coding, it could actually be possible that instead of 75% slow resistance, it's simply just subtracting 75% from the raw/adjusted value.

One way to test this theory would be to get someone like Thresh who has 99% slow. If you have a champion with 400 MS and SRS, they will have 510 MS. Thresh's ult normally slow this to 115. That would be a 78% slow. If it's truly working as intended, then it should increase MS to 211. If it is working as I suggest, then it should be 495.

Okay, but let's be real here.

This person is playing against bots, who have no runes.

It's almost impossible for Tahm Kench to do 30% of a champion's maximum health in 2.5s without using his devour, and the movement speed is only broken if he gets it with someone inside him.

I doubt this will actually happen in a real game against people that have magic resistance.

Well if you build a combo of health and AP then you can deal quite a lot in a quick Auto/Q/Auto combo. Most carries have between 1700-2000 in most late game scenarios so you only need to be able to deal 600-700 damage. At 3.5k health you gain 120 extra damage to your Autos and ability damage from his level 3 ult passive you don't even need AP late game if you build enough health since a combo at 3.5k heath would deal 820 damage before resists. And that's not a very well built Tahm. A Tahm is capable of dealing over 1k damage with a chunk of Ap and really high HP easy.

The Fast2 votes

The other guy mentioned AP. I disagree.

Tahm can easily do enough damage to 100-0 a carry in 3s with a full HP build. You can most certainly proc this with some autos and a Q on a squishy.

xSleepy3 votes

the thing is most tahm players won't wanna take this i think, speaking as a tahm player myself the idea of being able to run super fast with an enemy carry in my tummy is enticing, obviously, but it's not practical: grasp is a much better keystone, and frankly your job as kench isn't burst, it's whittle. sure you can proc stormraider really easy by just devouring, but it's not worth losing the consistent healing you can get from grasp and the permanent tenacity on the resolve tree. kench needs the tenacity to get to the enemy, not to run away

doombotMECHA1 votes

yeah, tahm player here and i see what u mean. still a fun/broken bug, tho.

Shrek Luigi2 votes

After the damage nerfs, I'd imagine Tahm would have much greater difficulty procing Stormraider- against a pretty Large Pool (good fish pun) of Champs--especially within the span of time that the slow would be of most use (peeling for allies).

I'm going to continue using the defensive keystones. I usually jungle with him, and the across-the-board usefulness of Strength of Ages' HP boost comes across as a lot more useful than a restrictive slow resist+speed buff. Boots of Swiftness already give a good chunk of slow resist so it doesn't matter to me much.

Regurgitate「 MAGIC DAMAGE: 20 / 23 / 26 / 29 / 32% (+ 2% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health 」

Using just his W he's likely to proc storm surge no problem since it only requires you to deal %30 max hp on an enemy champ. This is very broken if it goes live and would end up as a massive buff to Kench even with the nerfs to the rest of his kit.

That damage is dealt AFTER he spits them out so he cant run with them in his stomach But i really don't care. nerf him to the ground. I hate that champion

Gesterr1 votes

Oops your right lol, my mistake

DorkunedAuras8 votes

Except because his W does damage upon puking the champ out, you can't use the speed boost to ignore your W slow.

Gee, thanks guy. I REALLY FUCKING APPRECIATE YOU TELLING ME THIS NOW I'M GOING TO GET HIS BROKEN ASS IN EVERY GAME.

Where's that hotfix nerf Rito?

Final Spark Lux2 votes

Really smart. Enjoy it while it lasts though. If riot's history is any indication, this will be patched. Riot doesn't like players coming up with unique / interesting ways of playing. For example, when people had the brilliant idea of playing blitz thresh lane. Rito didn't like that one bit, so it got fixed pretty quickly.

and suddenly no one cares about the "nerfs" coming to tahm. If you can actualyl consider them that.

SKOBODO1 votes

It's a fun trick, but it'll be hard to actually do 30% of their max hp in 2.5 seconds without using your W. It works best vs squishies, since 30% of 1500 is less than 30% of 2500. Still, in practice it won't really work that well, although you could spit them out and then run away or chase, I suppose.

Not trying to be a smart ass but do people really take storm raiders surge on any champion? I've never seen it since preseason started.

they just buffed it yesterday

Celeste Benal1 votes

Not broken. Silly. But not broken because very short duration. And StormRaider's on TK may not be the best use of a keystone mastery.

So many mistakes by the same soraka... My heart is broken

1- how much cs does she manage to get in that sequence ? 2-3 cs out of 3 waves ? A shame... 2- What is that build ? Who rush a nomad medaillon in a 1v1 lane ? 3- Why is she already 1 level behind ? 4- 0:35 she stuck herself in a huge wave of minions 5- 0:40 she do not starcall tahm dispite he is at near point blank range and she have a chalice 6- 0:44 She CC herself in order to starcall just while tahm is going for her 7- 0:44 Completly miss the starcall on a point blank target walking straight to her. It so easy at this range, it should be an instant crit 8- 0:46 Silence centered on tahm instead of her. IT would have been impossible for tahm to continue his combo if it was centered on her. 9- 0:52 burn her ult and walk toward tahm ? 10- 0:58 do not starcall tahm in the bush and keep csing like if he was not there... 11- 1:03 : see 6 12- 1:03 : see 7 13- 1:06 : dont bother to silence 14- 1:10 CC herself with a silence instead of just gtfo while tahm have no skill left up to silence anyway

Seriously, all I see here is a first time Soraka (prime healer) losing a solo lane against a tahm. If she was not CCing herself in the first place, tahm would never hit his AA first.

Interesting trick doe... sorry I couldnt help but to comment that Soraka

Ummm you do realize it was a bot right? I just wanted an easy opponent to demonstrate it.
