I just played as Mundo vs a Trynda. That shit is the funniest lane ever. Trynda trying to plow into me and I returning the favor every time

Tahm Kench PBE play

He actually seems like support or jungle, since Devour deals 20% max HP to enemies upon cast, plust a health/shield buff on E and his passive allowing for stuns during clears/ganks. The fact his Q only hits the first target seems to slant toward support over jungle (that'd make his clear time horribly slow, wouldn't it? Unless he levels W first for the AoE spit damage?) Or perhaps he'd be a peeling top laner?

The one point of confusion I have is for his ult, mainly because I don't yet know where exactly it works--oh, wait, it's a low-range teleport. It could be used to sneak into barons and such (or sneak ganks in from bushes.

His passive doesn't work on jungle creeps apparently.

Saki · Post Post #42732 (ISO) » Wed Jun 24, 2015 1:15 pm

he sounds ridiculously op as a flash/tp support

tp to lane
ult
bring said person back to team

and if the fucking tryndamere still doesnt group you have full reign to report him

Saki · Post Post #42733 (ISO) » Wed Jun 24, 2015 1:19 pm

but seriously though i dont see him being anything but a support, lol
he can peel pretty hard using AA-Q-AA-W or by just Wing someone
would also work as a mini kalista ult for your jungler or top
and his E makes him tanky enough with just targons+righteous glory

Iecerint · Post Post #42734 (ISO) » Wed Jun 24, 2015 5:19 pm

His AP ratio on W is insane right now, though will probably be nerfed.

Bilgewater event incoming!

Glork · Post Post #42736 (ISO) » Wed Jun 24, 2015 5:55 pm

Eh. New (likely temporary) ARAM map, finally get GP/MF updates. I'd be surprised if anything else remotely significant came out of it. Riot has practically primed its playerbase to be let down by its "big events."

Iecerint · Post Post #42737 (ISO) » Wed Jun 24, 2015 6:07 pm

I'm made uncomfortable by the idea that the event will last a "few months" or something. It sounds like they wanted to do GP/MF/Tahm together, but it won't all be ready.

tbh, I rather liked both the Freljord and Shurima events, so I'm not sure why you think people have been 'let down' by this type of thing in the past? Unless I'm in the minority, I guess?

zoraster · Post Post #42739 (ISO) » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:02 am

8 out of the last 9 champions have had slows in their kits (only rek'sai does not). It's interesting that Riot has leaned so heavily on slows, but it makes sense.

Reksai burrowed q has slow I thought

I've found myself buying swifties a bit more than before, personally

zoraster · Post Post #42741 (ISO) » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:11 am

Not according to the wiki. To be clear, slows were always kind of popular.

But Tahm, Bard, Kalista, Azir, Gnar, Braum and Vel'koz all have slows. That's every champion but rek'sai since December 2013.

quadz08 · Post Post #42742 (ISO) » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:11 am

burrowed q does not have a slow - it just feels like it should for some reason >_>

Klazam · Post Post #42743 (ISO) » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:13 am

Nvm I'm wrong, q only gives vision and damages.

This is completely true

Kinda surprising. Riot previously said that they wanted to move away from slows in favor of personal speed boosts. But I guess they're skillshot slows (except Kalista).

tahm is decidedly not as cool as ekko

zoraster · Post Post #42747 (ISO) » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:35 am

Ekko is cool in the awesome individual playmaking, highlight real kind of thing. I think Tahm is arguably more interesting from a "unique aspect he brings to a game" kind of thing. It'll be interesting to see if people in solo queue really use him to do surprise ganks and what not, but I'd be really surprised if pros don't pull off some interesting stuff.

Heretic. I find ekko immensely boring (just another "lcsbigplays" assassian) and im so hyped for tahm.
