With Tahm Kench's Q no longer adding a passive stack he is worthless. This has ruined his entire kit. Tahm Kench has been reduced to a blobfish stumbling around hoping to get 3 autos to apply his w without getting cc'd to fuck. Stop this Riot. Undo this cataclysmic nerf that has ruined the kench. Unbench the Kench Riot or just remove the worthless champion you have turned the Kench into from the game.

No shit they were gonna nerf him. He counters assassins which is the biggest sin a champion can make in league. You stop unskilled players from one shotting people on accident? To the gallows with you!

They are incompetent that is why. He went to Toplane which was to be expected and instead of nerfing his W cooldown and his Q damage which would not be a huge nerf to support Tahm, they just straight up removed him from the game.

He was too obnoxious toplane in soloq but his kit made him too great a support in high elo, both aspects got nerfed and his present state is the leftover.

Poorly designed kit is the foundation of it all which was made much much worse by Riot being too damn indecisive when it came to just forcing him into one role, instead they tried to keep both causing him to just become half of either.

How dare you protect your team? You cannot do that, one shot is the king and the only thing that matters! The only way to protect is killing that is why we do not nerf his dmg as someone suggested!

they overnerfed him. hes destined to be just a silly pick in anything unless you pick him support.

i wish they never touched him and made him FotM (flavor of the month). I was enjoying playing him in the jungle role and then they gutted his damage and then everything else.

from 36% max hp to like 8-12% lol

Benched? They put him under the Bench.

They gave it to morde so he can stack his passive on Q and E ! Lol

Tahms ability to bail his teammates out of a bad spot is unfortunately antithetical to the “League of everyone dies in .5 seconds.” So Riot hates his guts. They changed him from support to a broken toplaner so that everyone else would hate his guts too and nobody would complain when they removed him from the game.

funny how people can be that delusional about this champ

when even almost viable, he's a chore to play against, because his kit is awful to assasins and to literally every single melee toplane

and yet we have this kind of posts getting upvotes everyday

PhearBunny12/27/2019, 11:34:13 AM2 votes

yet he still makes any top laner go 0-5 and be completely unable to CS. Lol

Good. Dude was universally good at every aspect of his kit. Front line damage, tankiness, cc, you name it. Pick a few.

TK just needs to lose the free %hp damage on auto attacks and he can have most his strength back. When TK isnt benched literally no one in the game can beat him in a direct 1v1.

I'd rather TK be benched than dominate top lane again.

They are gonna nerf him again?! He's already in a pitiful state!!!

[sg-ahri-1]

Just remove him at this point so they can add 3 new assassins to the game

Eh I'm glad he's gone. His W is a problematic ability and until they rework it he doesn't deserve to be a viable pick. As whenever he is viable he completely dominates due to how broken that W is.

They deleted him long ago, after having failed to "rework" him and actually having broken him as a toplaner for a couple of patches.

Now they are just pretending everything is fine, as usual. Very professional.

Time to ~~Rework~~ Rewrench the Kench. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Pre-nerf Tahm was an atrocious. I, as a bot main could just first pick Tahm top and beat people on their mains simply because he could chain cc them non-stop. He has interesting mechanics, but they are implemented horribly to play against. I'm somewhat glad he isn't part of the viable cancer that's currently dominating the game. But that's nothing against Kench personally.
