Tahm Nerf Suggestions

Waluigi Envious·Dec 10, 2015·3 votes·808 views

As we know, Tahm Kench is a little over-tuned right now and yes, I know Riot is going to be nerfing him again. But, I would like to put out my suggestions for his nerfs.

An Acquired Taste: Debuff duration: 7 Seconds=>5 Seconds

Tongue Lash: CD 6 seconds=>10/9/8/7/6 Base Damage: 80/125/170/215/260=>75/85/100/120/160 Slow Duration: 45/50/60/70/80

Regurgitate: Base Damage 20/23/26/29/32%=>14%/16%/18%/20%/26%

Thick Skin: Duration: 6 Seconds=>5 Seconds

Please let me know if my nerf suggestions are For the better, or too harsh. Thank you!

EDIT: If you think his Q damage is too low here is another one: 75/90/120/150/185 Slow Duration is a buff for the Q damage being gone.

Almost un-killable and the most non fun champ to play against taking four people to even kill him...

Interesting and in depth analysis. Good read

Much simpler idea. His q slow should scale with his passive. 20 percent 40 percent 60 percent them stun with full stacks

Sounds like a good idea honestly, I think his ult and passive are perfectly fine. But, his passive duration is a tad to long I think.

So the slow/ stun lasts 45/50/60/70/80 seconds? Id take that kek

Stunning a target with full stacks of AAT now drop them all, so you can't be CC'd longer than a Leona chain.

Can only apply stacks to 1 target a time (like Vayne's Silver Bolts)

The whole point of the Q stun is to set up his devour. He would be gutted if he couldnt chain the two. He should have a harder time getting to the enemy, not have his damaging ability completely negated.

Except in practice, he never really struggles to get a Devour off.

Either your 3rd proc is from Q and the slow allows your to W your target, or the target is melee and eating them is easy as 1-2-3.

I'd be willing to say "Stun drops all stacks, but you can still reapply new ones while target is stunned", so while offering counterplay to a lazy TK, a swift one re-marking a target can still get all stacks up in the stun duration and gobble them up.

Kench can't get 2 autos off in a chase. My proposal imo is a much healthier alternative which makes him less sticky but still punishes ban players who don't understand him, but I understand your issues with him.

That would be too hard, but I think itd be ok if stunning an enemy with Q would make them only have 2 stacks of his passive, so you have to aa or Q again to use W.

They have to decide whether to gut support or top/jungle Tahm. It's not possible to balance both. I often see people raging when they play vs top Tahm. Yesterday our Poppy top was sitting afk in the fountain, spamming curses to RIOT and Tahm :D
