So this seems like the origin of the laugh in the river It's not the Darkin ADC but seems very cool
Tamm,King of the Rivers (apparently)
A giant deal making Catfish with a top hat and a Louisiana accent with Kogmaws hunger Call me sold ^^
So what do you guys think? Real or Fake? What lane?
From what I saw in the video, I expect this guy to have the ability to carry allies inside of him as well as to eat enemies. And he may be more powerful while in the river.
Dude, don't tell me they reworked TF to be the guy who made the deal. Lawd.
Gotta start off by saying way to go RITO. Never thought there would be a Louisiana inspired champion and I am damn proud for there to be one being that I'm from Louisiana myself. Proud to have a Cajun champion ;)
The real reason for this post, however, is that I feel like his abilities are all laid out in the teaser.
He's a siren of sorts. In Greek mythology, a siren's song is something that no man can resist. Hence, I believe he'll have an ability that is a song that either taunts or charms. Would be interesting as a charm because as of now Ahri is the only one on the Rift who has a charm.
The big mouth I believe is the ability to carry allies/eat opponents. It can perhaps be used to carry allies to safety or to deal massive damage to an enemy. I believe this will be his main damage output.
He speaks of making deals. Maybe an ability like TF's "W" that relies upon the player to press the key again to choose the right "deal" of sorts. Either that or it could be his passive...to "strike a deal" with an ally similar to Kalista. But I'm just making guesses here.
He speaks of having been everywhere in the river and his ability to go back there. Maybe an ultimate similar to that of TF's, except he can only go to places in the river. However, he says "The world is a river, and I am its king. Ain't no place I ain't been. Ain't no place I can't go again." In this case he might have an ultimate almost identical to TF's where he can TP to any location he's been prior.
His passive may have to do with the fact that he's a "River King". Meaning his strength relies upon the river. Maybe a movement speed buff, perhaps a damage buff, a tankiness buff, or (my personal favorite) perhaps an invisibility of sorts. This thought comes from the fact he was in the river the entire time the video was happening and no one had a clue until the end.
Just a thought, but seems pretty viable.
THIS IS URF IN DISGUISE. HE HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE!
There can be only one devil of the rift...
It would be cool if it was a rift scuddler remake, like an aggressive monster when you walk into the river??
From what i've seen with the most recent of released Champions we have:
= Mage.
= Marksmen.
= Fighter.
= Support.
= Assassin.
All we're missing now is a new Tank Class Champion, if this Tamm is a legit Champion_ (which i really am hoping it is & not a internet troll)_ then it's most likely so that he is gonna be the newest Tank. as for his role Tanks are usually given either the Top Lane or Jungle position (rarely getting Bot lane as a "supportive" champion...& going by his personality in the video i doubt Tamm is the supportive type).
Now going by Tamm's appearance alone (from what we can see in the drawings on the pages in the video) & from what we see of his personality in the Video me personally he might be a Roaming Melee AD Tank Jungler that could be a Top Laner that has incredible survivability by means eating everything in his path to maintain his Health & give him self-Buffs rather than just being bulky.
I'm just gonna rattle off what his Abilities could be: Q-Ability: Lurk/Gulp. [think Rek'Sai Burrow Ability but he remains "underground" for a limited amount of time but he is Invisible, at the end of the Lurk's duration or on his next Auto-Attack Tamm erupts from the ground dealing Physical Damage to all enemies in a small radius while also Healing himself by a small amount per enemy Hit. if he kills an enemy with the Gulp the Heal is doubled & he gains a small Buff for a short time] Thoughts Why this Might Work: having a tank that can go Invisible & be able to sneak up on target & then erupt out of nowhere & then start disrupting the enemy team could be a powerful Initiate or a way to clean up large team fights.
W-Ability: Slurp Down. (in the Video if you look closely Tamm has a long tongue that he seems to use to pull victims in) [this could either be a Skill-Shot or a Point-Click that has Tamm pull a target into his mouth where the Target is Stunned for a brief moment after being dealt Physical Damage, for the duration of the Stun the target remains in Tamm's mouth & he can move around while he has that Stunned target but that enemy will be Untargetable for the duration. at the end of the Stun Tamm spits out the target dealing either additional Physical Damage or dealing Magic Damage] Thoughts Why this Might Work: Tamm could use this to take out an important player on the enemy team or snatch up a fleeing enemy & take the target to Tamm's team to gang up on the target or allow Tamm to wail on the target after spiting the target up. disruption & crowed control.
i'm gonna stop right here with the Abilities, but if you think i'm on to something or have a comment about these Abilities then please Reply.
Anyway, that top hat probably sealed the deal for me... I swear to god, if his taunt isn't a tip of the hat, I'll be so disappointed.
He also needs to share the "Nom nom nom" quote from gentleman cho gath.
I think for the first skin they should make him, Gentleman Tamm. Like they did with chogath
THAT HAT LOOKS PIMPING.
And it seems we're getting a tried-and-true "crossroads of life" demon. Not an ancient war god, not a cosmic horror that otherwise fits the bill, not a fallen angel; but a sly, smooth-talking deal-maker.
I hope Tamm is Support or a Top lane, Jungle
this is gonna be tamm lol http://www.serebii.net/art/th/272.png
Am I the only one who thinks that the gambler is the champ and not the fish thing?
I'm guessing he will have interactions with the river, thus will be a jungler.
Cho' Gath rework?
