LoL: Riot mocked by the community over Tahm Kench situation

If the current League of Legends season has been characterized by modifications to the older champions, Tahm Kench is one of the great protagonists. The changes he has received have placed him as one of the great threats in the top lane, with his ability to withstand attacks and the inflict inordinate amounts of damage despite building tank items. 

He's become one of the most hated champions in the community.

Community mocks Riot's doubts with Tahm Kench

The giant catfish received buffs in Patch 11.14, and since then his winrate has fluctuated between 52 and 53 percent. The data places him as one of the best top laners in the game, one that Riot has only tried to moderate once, reducing a few points of damage and healing.

It's no surprise that these minor changes have hardly had any effect on his fantastic results.

This situation has led to bitter complaints from the community about the champion's status, and, of course, many players have been using Tahm Kench to improve their rank without needing much effort.

As a result, the community has not been slow to highlight a disappointing (but not surprising) play showing off how broken he's become.

The play shared by a user under the title "-5 basic healing" is enough, in reference to how little Riot has changed from Tahm Kench.

In it, the player not only survives after committing a large number of errors that lead him to receive tower hits, but also takes down his rival when he barely has a few points of life left.
