The Tahm Kench Troll

RookPusher·12/21/2015, 6:19:06 PM·2 votes·1,313 views

I'd love to hear what Riot advises if the Tahm on your team is trolling. I was just repeatedly swallowed, thrown into enemies, towers, and prevented from CSing. He took ghost and TP (along with his ult) to follow me around the map constantly, then went to chat occasionally to say things like "I know I'm making mistakes, but please don't harass me."

I'm sure many of have been there. So I don't think I'm unique, but Tahm has the ability to troll in a manner almost every other champ does not. As usual, we're asked to not swear, AFK, or rage. All of which I refrained from doing, but the point is, what is the official position on this champ. You folks made him, and you had to know this would be abused. So what do you suggest we do? Hell, I can't even report his user name here. I reported him at the end of the game, but how do I know I don't have to ban Tahm every game now?

Why, at least, don't we allow the option to not be effected by his W? That seems like a reasonable thing. At least if you're W'd 3 times in a game, you should get the option. I had to repeatedly appeal to the other members all game to try and get them to report him, which only pisses them off even more. Unless you're just watching the wold burn up there, Riot, I'd really love some element of relief. Even if its only a "we're looking into it."

All you have to do is report them, explain why you reported them, and move onto the next game.

I'm just going to leave this here for the people saying "reporting them is the fix"

No, just no, this guys got 70 troll games on his account LARGELY as Kench.

Troll and Feeder detection do not exist... or are so badly programmed its the same thing.

This has happened to me before, one of the worst rounds of league I've ever played, I stayed calm in game but it was so infuriating I was genuinely tempted to uninstall league to never have to ever endure it again, and then throw my computer out the window. Thankfully it has never happened again, but I will never forget it. The guy spent the whole time saying in all chat that he was "saving" me every time he brought me to the other team. Obviously they all loved him and made fun of me for being bad despite all of you "great and nice and good Tahm's" attempts to save me. He followed me the whole game. I make sure not to flame or rage, but that game may have been the closest I've ever been to totally snapping.

I love the down votes like this isn't a real problem.

Revelstoke - thanks for sharing.

I believe you're suppose to be able to spit yourself out, but there's a minimal delay before you can escape, giving him ample time to do whatever the heck he wants to do with you.

Honestly it should be made so that you can escape immediately, but I'm sure it won't be touched for the same reason Anivia's wall and Trundle's pillar can block teammates.

I've had the same problem with people playing Kalista. Instead of using her ult for team fights, using it in base just because they can. I mean I can understand once because sometimes you accidentally hit R. I get that. But doing it 4+ times, that's just not cool man.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you from Riot saying "we are looking into this" but I agree it is a problem that should be addressed. Maybe a lot of reports would help?

Report for griefing. Pretty simple.
