Okay, Riot, Tahm needs a SERIOUS nerf.

So, I just played a ranked match, and there's a Tahm jungle who has nearly 40 kills. Early game, I could kill him easily, but late game? He would INSTANTLY kill anyone he touched (with auto attacks, mind you), and we had to 5v1 him for a good 10 seconds in order to kill him.

I really, really don't see how that's fair or intended in any way at all. He had over 5.6k HP, a metric ton of armor and MR, and yet he was able to instantly kill anyone who got within his range, and even a 5v1 WITH THE NEXUS TURRET HITTING HIM couldn't kill him before he took out two people.

Riot, this is just beyond ridiculous. PLEASE do something to prevent Tahm from being that stupidly strong. There was just no way to play against him without dying.

Here's a link to the match, http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1961924466/228953398?tab=overview

Tahm would, quite literally, walk into lane and one-shot everyone. He single-handedly pushed every lane and forced us into our base. We just couldn't fight him.

why are sheep downvoting you? tahm kench devourer jungle is disgustingly broken.

due to his % damage and massive shield he gets to be a huge CC tank that deals horse penis for damage.

I had one on my team and he carried like a champ, made their insanely fed hecarim die in seconds as well as their vayne.

Except the tahm in this game built cinderhulk.

It was titanic hydra and wits end that let him pull this off.

And a devourer tahm should never be allowed to get to sated before his team loses (unless you're losing Lane hard).

You let a weak early game jungler whose identity is massively tanky late game get to 35 kills and 50 minutes.

And they had a nasus on top of that - another champion that shouldn't be allowed to get to 50 min.

He built titanic hydra and wits end (presumably for the attack speed and aoe magic resist steal on hit to make titanic hydra hit more, which is a clever combination if that's how it works). A high hp (you say over 5.6k but unless he was running percent hp runes or something I'm guessing he was around 4.5k - 5k) champion with aoe percent hp damage that does more damage to enemies beside the one he's attacking is going to do a lot of damage to your squishies. 5k * 5% = 250 damage on each hit, and 500 on the active. If your adc and apc were in range of that damage, and he wasn't being cc'd (which your blitz and gnar seemed quite bad) you're going to have a bad time.

At 15-20 minutes, he was unkillable. He would kill someone in about 1-2 seconds, regardless of who they were, and slowed you so much with Deadman's plus his Q that you couldn't even move. He attacked like 1.8 times a second, had 5.6k HP and was just stupid as all hell.

It didn't matter who he attacked, they all died near instantly.

You know, with the team comp they had and the teamcomp you guys had and that both teams had like 90 k gold Its no wonder you guys lost even with that gold lead.

You guys got simply out scaled.

I cant really take a game seriously when its 60 + kills on both sides

Tahm Actually scales well, but he cant 5 vs 1 if you all jump on him at the same time. There is no tank in the game that can take 5 equally geared people at the same time. Unless you have a code of Honor like Templars in Assassins creed where they have a ticket line to their pixelated death.

Deadsmans plate is not a metric ton of armor Wits end is not alot of MR unless he auto attacks you. Its not like he needed to build MR anyway against your team.

If anything he was just HP which is a great stat on Tham.

Graves and zed had the right idea of botrk, but Zed probably could not kill 4 out of those and Ezreal was probably to far for zed to deal with and graves got probably just bulldozed.

Their entire team including their support outscaled your teams counterparts.

At first, we were really ahead. Everything was fine. Then Tahm started to build AS and whatnot, and he could destroy any lane he walked into. I would try and counter gank, but he'd turn around and kill me, then go kill the lane (even if they ran away).

Well, if I had a recording, I'd show you. He would single handedly fight our entire team and kill at least 2-3 of us, if not all of us. We all jump on him, and he just has so much health, plus his E, that we couldn't even hurt him while he killed us faster than a fed Vayne.

He was spamming auto attacks, he had so much AS it was ridiculous, he'd just instantly kill you because of Hydra and his passive and devour. You couldn't even run away once he set his sights on you, even if you dodged his Q.

5.6k HP, 1.8 AS, >150 armor, I don't know how much MR... he was just stupid. Graves and Zed couldn't even hurt him, even if I sat there and peeled for Graves, he died anyway, and Tahm would be at 3/4 HP.

Early game, we had every lane pushed, I was pulling off incredible ganks, people were fed, and I was counterjungling Tahm to infinity. At ~20 minutes? Tahm was unstoppable, and we just died over and over to him and the rest of his team. If he wasn't there, we could have EASILY won that game.

Your team needed to win that early on, they were going to beat you no matter what if the game started going late. Your team really had nothing that was going to deal with him ( or Nasus had he gotten ahead ). That was probably a splitpush or lose game, even then it would have been hard to do.

Hahahahahahaha that's all I got to say. First off, I only seen a few good Tahm Kench's who could rack up kills, and to think a Tahm Kench would go 35+ in a game is so laughable, you'd have to be super bad to let that happen and suck ass.

Then.............. I look at the match history, I find the game, and HOLY SHIT it happened. So, being curious I have to look at Tahm Kench's profile and match history. Can we confirm best Tahm NA? The dude has some monster numbers with Tahm Kench as jungle, and that's just crazy. Good luck killing that bastard.

And I actually thought Tahm Kench was balanced.... Well, maybe bot Lane.
