I mean, every other time it has happened that champion stayed completely viable.

I agree, he needs more nerfs.

3 times in 3 patches* I still find it pretty pointless tho since there are many other fighers/ tanks that are just way scarier. But as we all know annoying to deal with = op lel

well he is the first support who is actually competing into the game the same amount as other roles do ... so yeah that validates nerfs

Meh... His support win rate isnt even 50% and pretty much the only reason he still works is because tank items and champ are pretty op in general. AP supports have huge impact as well, with no farm.

but you are still comparing supports to other supports instead of comparing supports to champions that go to lane

supports dont have any special feature that would make them a wanted addition to a team besides not needing that much gold as the others

thats why every time an actualy potent champion gets too good base damage ... he gets incorporated into support class (like annie and morgana)

this is where tahm comes into play since his kit offers the utility you would expect while also having a load of unfair scalings to make him as strong as other champions can be

Well his W is really the only utility Tahm has, other than that he is pretty much designed to go top lane.

Feel free to list other fighters or tanks that win ~63% of the time in a solo lane when played well on average. He's dealing Juggernaut level damage as a full tank while having cc and being tankier.

Well Mundo has 63.5% and people that played 50-125 games with Sion apparently have 71.5% win rate with him lol.

Besides, Tahms damage and cc are both single target, so its easy to play around him if you group. And there are a lot of champs that get high damage from building tank Malphite Volibear Rammus Sejuani Zac
