i read the PBE patch notes on kench

xDogMeatx··5 votes·2,449 views

so they are taking his passive away now? the fact he scales off of hp is probably the only thing that allows him to beat juggernauts or at least stay on par with them. i mean Renekton gets a shield breaker for free yet also remove kench passive completely im guessing someone on the riot team lost to kench pretty badly. i bet that person who made it was a Renekton main

2ndly dang yuumi got nerfed again.

i know hes OP as heck but this is definitely the wrong way to do this. might as well black out his passive at this point and say "undefined". i would rather them hurt his W/E cooldowns then wipe out a passive.

Um... yeah, he shouldn't be beating the most powerful 1v1 class. He is a support. He does not belong at top lane just because his stats are completely overblown.

under whose words? because currently riot doesnt like him as support due to those unjust nerfs on his supporty style of play he functions now as a juggernaut/fighter. if they dont want that from him its like they dont know what his reason to exist is. perhaps they should delete champs they really have no clue how to balance them and refund those skins full price instead of nerfing them to oblivion. (to any champ with balance issues)

tahm doesnt just beat juggernauts. he beats everyone.

he has an average lane kill rate of 60% on most top laners. think about what that means, when people tend to play passive against him because they have no choice.

the champion is fucking aids and deserves to be olafed until they know what to do with him.

I've literally owned every single tahm kench I've played in top lane. Literally all you have to do is play like a bitch until level 7 and then stomp his face in. It's like facing teemo except easier because he's a tank that isn't ranged and can't poke through minions and doesn't have actual damage late game. Same concept, play like a bitch and you out scale no matter what champion you picked.

what kind of kenchs do you play against? the grasp kind or lethal tempo kind with rageblade and/or wits with tank items.

Works against both, had an easier time beating the wits end/rageblade ones in team fights because they were way squishier. You can actually just 1v1 the full tank with grasp ones in lane (post level 7 mostly). Darius and illaoi both do wonders as long as you pick the right fights. Riven also makes things easy because you can literally always escape him

weird thing about kench he feels like a yi (i use kench alot) without any super attack speed steroids. minus the alpha strike/true damage. the fact he scales freakishly well with attack speed is scary.

Yeah, rageblade tahm is indeed scary in lane but he is not too great in 5v5 teamfights either way he just really lacks the engage/reliable hard cc of most relevant (lol) tanks and the multitargeting I burst your whole team now damage of any of the other relevant bruisers

most engage he is his ult/cloak with Q. excluding flash ofc. due to his long cooldown

what thing do they want his role to be if not support or top?

Profirix1 votes

They don't want him. They never have.

They are intentionally making him a poor pick in every position.

so again why not delete said champ and refund the skins for RP. makes almost everyone happy. if his whole kit doesnt mesh well with the game

On this blessed day, there will be no more kench, in every lane, stat-checking everything with his skill-free kit.

tahm kench has been broken, people just noticed him cause of whatever change brought him to attention this time and then they had to recognise the things that tahm do. also yuumi nerfs are always justified for now

yuumi nerfs are never justified because she cant 5v1 like some champs can.

yuumi is the quintessential 2v8 champion. pair her with the right one and you win.

if everyone is bad (its a what if situation) what can yuumi do? now every champ has some kind of carry potential if your teammates fail you (small or large).

no dude, that's not it at all. have you yet to play against a Yuumi and Jax combo? it doesn't matter how bad they are the combination of what gaps in jax's kit yuumi fills is broken, it's unplayable. one item on each, i must stomp the game so hard that neither of them can complete their first item for this pair to not come online. that is ridiculous, the champion needs to be nerfed, in this instance that would be yuumi getting nerfed because jax was not unplayable with 1 item before yuumi attached to him. go through a list of bruisers and you'll see all the reasons that yuumi is being nerfed.

did yuumi attach to one of these and then decide to never detach? well shit you just lost the game

not so much with kayn though he has a great opportunity getting caught. sylas i can see work out due to his amazing scaling. the rest are amazing with her. not gonna lie but they nerfing her the wrong way maybe if they hit her CC abilities (slow duration/amount) that is the main killer or the speed benefit her E gives imo.

she might be getting nerfed the wrong way for now, so be it really, she has power to spare and frankly rito don't even know what they let loose onto the rift going by their hotfix buffs to her when she sincerely didn't need them. now allegedly they know what they've let loose onto the rift with qiyana and no hotfix buffs emerged, remains to be seen if rito were just selling skins with the yuumi hotfix but i honestly doubt it.
