why the actual fuck havent you dealt with him on top lane this patch?

it doesnt matter if you have to destroy the champion for one patch cycle until you know what to do with him. you cant honestly believe that hes anywhere near fine right now.

They won't hot fix him. If they wanted to fix, they'd fix him 3 patches ago.

i still dont agree with morellos approach of only nerfing champions, but hell i miss the times where they actually completely trashed a champion on purpose when he was out of line like tahm is right now.

Riot doesn't have a single top lane player on their balance team, so they are completely clueless on the experience of top lane.

It would be great to get back support Tahm

Or I suppose he might still work as a "support" in the same way as Brand works as a support

But we all know that isn't going to happen because of how much better his W is in pro play

And before he was in this "broken" state he was garbage. I remember not that long ago Tahm had like a 44% winrate on champion.gg

why do you put broken in quotation marks? hes legit broken. he might not have an exceptionally high winrate, because its possible to lose with him later on, but there isnt a single matchup out of all the top lane matches that he loses.

its like old lane nunu all over again. this isnt a healthy state for the champion to exist in.

just olaf him for one patch, while youre working on a solution. it doesnt have to be for long. it shouldnt be. but sometimes trashing a champion might be better than leaving him the monstrosity he is right now.

the only problem is, that riot left those champions rot in that dump for years, instead of immediately working on them.

Aatrox and Tahm Kench Are both looking meaningfully weaker post changes, though not massively so. That's what we were hoping for this round, no immediate follow up changes planned.

Riot has had a very long history of abandoning top lane, just move to a different role and let other people suffer from neglect.

Another tahm is OP thread, how many games have you actually banned him in? Is it 0? I bet its 0. You know what beats tahm? Akali, aatrox, garen or darius... People like to cry that tahm is OP, yet its riven, aatrox, yas, yi who all get banned... Never a tahm tho, hes just under powered enough that people get to cry while not taking action ot learn how to play agaisnt him or jsut ban him.

hes banned all the time my man, but sometimes he will just slip through. "permaban him" isnt a solution to the problem either.

and aatrox, darius and definitely garen dont beat him. maybe at shit tier mmr, but not where people know how to play the game.

his worst melee matchups are even and slightly in favour of him.

I have NEVER seen him banned in any game ive played, how do i know this? Look at my most played champion, its tahm.

I swear Riot likes to dance circles around champions that unanimously are overpowered/broke and wittles away slowly with tiny nerfs here and there. And then like months later they actually nerf them. Remember the Merry Months of Kai'sa?
