I haven't tried Tahm jungle yet, but I am pretty sure he can't lane or support at this point.

I think Tahm Jungle will be must pick ban in pro play.

In Soloqueue, I've had some success, but he suffers from a terrible terrible first clear. Until he has QWE he just gets torn apart in the jungle... like honestly probably the worst first clear in the game. This kind of doesn't matter when you double jangling.

And then you get the E healing going, and the W stopping a minion from attacking you for like 10 seconds, and he goes from the worst clear to like the best in the game as far as a tank is concerned. His early ganks are.... mediocre. Same as Sej. But once he hits 6, look out. Its like Nocturne with Instant Slow CC, no warning, a stun... And thats if he shows up alone. Not to mention, honestly, I think he is the best diving jungle ganker in the game, no matter which cham,p takes aggro first.

AND he hits like a damn truck.

Right?

Only thing I dont like about him is his lack of gap closers.

With gold on this guy you deal nearly 200 Magic Damage on hit, and in fights you can just straight tank nearly 12k damage.

He also gives very few fucks about taking AP ez shots to the face. Heals like 44%*1.2 = 53%of it right back, then you consider that he's tanky as fuck and has a solid 5k HP at least, and he is like the ultimate anti AP Ez Jungler, assuming your teammates can hide behind you.

I'm not sure if you can build anything but like straight tank on him without being troll... Which is kind of a shame because I am finding I am getting a lot of gold on him from the jungle. I'd equate his jungling to gragas, to be honest. Scary scary jungler. Maybe like Wits End? Zephyr? Statikk Shiv? I guess he wouldn't hate Trinity force? I dunno. I feel likle increasing your AS would be huge offensively, but all the items I feel like he wastes a lot of the stats... Crit useless on him, same with AD / AP. I would like Wits but it is just so... bad. So cost inefficient.

Black cleaver would be nice, but all his damage is magical.

I have decided RG sucks on him though, pointless when you can just use your ult for the same thing.

i think it is more concerning for characters that itemize and play similarly but weren't already shyvana tier.
i'll continue to play the same exact way as before it's just less optimal now.


you run MS quints, blue smite, exhaust, randuins, bork and whore red buff. people don't escape and you 3 hit squishies


i think she is strongest as a late game carry type of character similar but better than a jax or irelia. she comfortable 1v3s or better at the end of the game.

none of these things make you a good chase champion
what you're describing is the worst chase champ in the game building items exclusively to cover that weakness
im going all that stuff (except ms quints) and still find it difficult assuming their team has any cc
not that i think shyv is weak I just think you're vastly overrating the champion's lategame.
like many melees she can 1v3 lategame with a gold lead vs an underfarmed team but in more typical games strong damage with some annoying cc like thresh or naut or something makes life difficult for you
