Alright, i'm finally pissed off.

TahmKench ....

This fucker makes me angry.

I'm sick of this "failsafe" champ, he pisses me off.

I just got done with a ranked game i was playing with my friend, we duo bot alot and are pretty experienced players.

I main Thresh He mains Draven

We were facing a Corki and a TahmKench

Corki was almost constantly in front of his minions and not last hitting, needless to say, i didnt think he played ADC much.

I land SIX hooks in a row, FUCKING SIX. and every SINGLE TIME TahmKench devours and they walk away. it didnt matter if i grabbed him under our tower because Corki was untargetable until they were halfway to theirs. out of these 6 hooks, Corki never dropped below 2/3's hp.

If you can manage to be hit by 6 thresh hooks in a row specifically because you cant stay behind your minions, DO YOU NOT THINK WE SHOULDVE GOTTEN A KILL?

I've NEVER had a reason to flame on the boards but oh my god... this...

Why are champions coming with their own "if i fuck up i'm okay no matter how badly" TahmKench Ekko Azir Leblanc Kalista

Seriously, just make it so we can somehow take people OUT of tahm kench or something. OR AT LEAST REMOVE THE FULL HP BAR SHIELD. Add a health bar for until he's forced to spit them out.

EDIT: To all of those saying Thresh is another "failsafe" champ, i completely agree, but Thresh has NUMEROUS more conditions than TahmKench, Thresh has to have distance on his ADC and therefore cant help them, not to mention it's an interrupt-able dash and a small shield, not a 6 second untargetable and 25-50% movespeed boost

I'm sorry, you...as Thresh...are complaining about another champion saving their ADC when they fuck up...I'm sorry what?

Darcade3333 votes

nah, he saying they get saved too often and it is too easy as compared to moving towards the lantern and grabbing it where in the meantime sum1 cud cc u to death.

Jamaree1 votes

Because you know, when you have a 1 k range lantern it is SO hard to get it to people as opposed to having to walk up to them.

Darcade3332 votes

we are referring to a noob adc who maybe will not grab the lantern, instead try to run himself. even that level of noob adc can be saved by TahmKench pretty frustrating

Jamaree3 votes

It's also frustrating trying to kill the out of position ADC then a thresh lantern comes out from over a wall to save him when he had no right being saved.

Darcade3331 votes

you try to click on a thresh lantern while warwick/skarner/malz is ulting you. there is your answer

Jamaree1 votes

Has to have some downside.

ikr... it is broken

As apposed to having to run into the hellfire yourself and get to your ADC through a hail of CC before they die THEN run out of the danger while hoping you're either fast enough to get out or that the rest of your team will peel for you while you do it. No no no no no, clearly it's far more OP than a throw and forget move that doesn't require Thresh to take any risk to himself to do.

ok, you make a point. but being pissed off at tahm being too much of a failsafe for bad ad carries while maining thresh is a little bit hypocritical.

Lets agree on something here though, a short dash and small shield is NOTHING compared to 6 second untargetable

Not a short dash.

Tahm does have strong defense for his carry, but there's a way to disable it: Focus him instead. Force him to pop his shield so he can't regen the health, force him out of lane, and then kill the carry.

thats not the solution the solution is to increase the cooldown of his w. so you have that time window to make a play

That as well would be fantastic.

You had me until you called Shaco safe. He's feast-famine, and his Q is used to go in a majority of the time. That means he DOESN'T have a failsafe "Oops, I fucked up. Let me just press there to automatically survive."

To me, a failsafe button is something that can reliably be saved and used to escape most situations. Given that Shaco will use it aggressively more often than not, this presents a plethora of windows of opportunity to exploit.

Yes, he's slippery. That's his thing, and he pays for it. However, it's just not a failsafe.

If he didn't use his Q yet and you're talking about catching him out, well yeah, he's supposed to be a counterjungler and a pressurer. He can't do that if he has no means of escaping. That said, item 3364 + CC hurts him pretty badly.

The caveat here is that Shaco has to use his Q for going in. He can't save it to escape all of the time and still remain useful, and he falls off if he doesn't do anything.

I was debating whether to add shaco to that list or not, i think i'm gonna take him off

I do understand and agree with the complaint, that shit is incredibly annoying. Thresh is another offender, to be fair,...

And you do know if Tahm did devoured his own ADC, isn't he left alone in bot lane to deal with you guys? You should have tried focusing Tahm instead, he just seems like a male version of Soraka.

He needs his devour ability to go up by like 20 seconds because it's too damn good and fustrating.

BroadSlabber1 votes

I agree with swap.Was playing against him earlier and he popped it twice in a team fight.First time to save his adc the second to grab his adc and ult behind us.Yeah it was a loooong team fight but still had he only been able to do it once we would have won the fight.

I haven't fought against Tahm yet but I get the sense of where you're going with this. There are a lot of champs where they have offensive/defensive abilities depending on how they choose to use them and it does seem a little op. On a side note at least Kalista is only strong with her support. So you kinda have to have a decent support who knows what you want to do in order to shine as Kalista.
