People tend to complain about the most distinctive things a champion does. Nerfing based off what people complain about can eventually end up homogenizing characters a lot, with everyone having a similar feeling kit and unique effects reduced from character defining to secondary sources of novelty. To combat that we instead map out what we think are appropriate strengths and weaknesses for each champion and try and nerf/buff to preserve (or accentuate) those. In this case nerfing the MS with an ally devoured was we felt the best way to do that for Tahm in 5.24.
That's not to say player frustration isn't a really useful thing to monitor and understand, it's really valuable for helping to build or modify those intended strengths/weaknesses in the first place. Being really informed of player feedback, frustations, needs, wants etc's something we believe's really important. That's not the same though as believing that whatever a lot of people are saying is necessarily the right thing to do though.
please add ANTI SHIELD ITEM!!!
i am Yi who is damage over time champion that needs to stick to his targets vs Kench top lane. I go Wuju style and Highlander and i destroy 90% of his health but then i need to kill him 2nd time making it almost impossible to deal with even when you are ahead just because he got instead 90% health he got 90% HP Shield Where is the god damn trade off of that?! I nearly killed the bastard but now he got some stupid broken shield that i cannot do anything about. Why the hell udyr and shen got 200 health shield and Tom Konch has 5000 health shield?! WHAT THE HELL?! What am i suppose to do about that?!
WHERE IS THE COUNTER PLAY?!
Every good tank is tanky and has a lot of damage kek This was a good nerf imo
the entire point of the nerf is so that you can actually catch him when he devours someone and runs away since he could just save a teammate and run away like nothing before the nerf making it even more annoying to deal with him since there wasn't much you could do other than hope you could cc him the instant he saved someone
They're going to roll out a more comprehensive re-tune at a later date. I think meddler or repertoir had a thread asking for general suggestions and promoting discussion a few days ago

Actually, that was My only complaint. Tahm not putting himself in danger when he tries to save an ally. I'm fine with the changes they made to him.
