Tahm Kench in his suit kinda reminds me of Mr. Swackhammer (the Spacejam Moron Mountain proprietor - and yes, I obviously had to google for his name).

So they released Champions icons but you have to buy them as a bundle instead of individually? Why... ?

I hope whoever thought of giving kayle a buff at the same time as releasing an item that doubles on-hit effects every other hit gets fired.

Now i wonder: is yis doublestrike an on-hit effect? If yes, does sated devourer turn it into triple or quadra strike?

Double Strike stacks on on-hit. The pattern goes:

Attack 1: Normal attack(1stack)
Attack 2: Normal attack + double on-hit(3 stack)
Attack 3: Normal attack(4stack)
Attack 4: Normal attack + double onhit(resets and 1 stack), Double Strike(2 stack)
Attack 5: Normal attack + double onhit(4 stack)
Attack 6: Normal attack(resets), Double Strike + double on-hit(3 stacks)
Loop 3-6.

That is, in theory.

Damn I've just played a game of Tahm Kench and uhm, after only one game, he seems pretty so-so for me. I mean, that W damage is pretty ridiculous on tanks, saving your allies and that global ult is pretty nice but uhm, I'm not amused.

Much like Ekko (but less overtuned) Tahm has a bunch of shit that looks pretty op, except it's all wrapped up in specific use cases. Or you kite him and spam laugh.

The scaling is ridiculous if you get to farm a bit and to late game, Devour does ridiculous damage to squishies too (35% max health, duh—before applying his ult's passive), and more importantly if you thought Maokai is tanky, proper usage of his E makes him at least as tanky as him even with the level 1, math-wise (well, a bit less).

Of course he won't 100-0 people, and he can get kited, but if he's ridiculously hard to kill, and he smashes if he gets in.

Played him a bit on toplane, and he seems kinda meh there. Useful maybe against tanks, but not versus high damage dealers.

Don't forget Kench's Q has an 800 range with a base 50% slow.

True, and a 3 something CD if you have the 40% CDR, but early on he's so bad in lane that's almost unbearable.

Well it's a good thing his E passive is broken for jingling then.

Like, in lane, CSing is so damned horrible with it, it just amazes me. Only after 6 you can actually trade/cs properly. Makes me sad, I like the champion. Not sure if I should take some AD in runes/masteries to help, I tried once but even so, kinda meh.
