We have a new champion in this PBE patch going by the name of Tahm Kench "The River King". He is a tanky support champion with some good slows and stuns as well some good damage potential and the ability to travel far distances with his ultimate.

Tahm Kench

Looking at his abilities you can tell Tahm Kench is going to be quite difficult to deal with in lane, his early game harrass with Devour seems to be really strong against squishy targets as well as the slow/stun from the Tounge Lash which will make you think twice before extending too much. One thing I will say about him that I find interesting is his ultimate's passive ability granting an additional damage stim based off of his bonus health. It will be cool to see what other players will do with this passive. Overall I quite like this new champ, I am really liking his voice and his animations. I look forward to seeing how this guy does on live. Also something to note is that Tahm Kench has had a little extra work done with regards to his voice, including enemy and ally specific taunts. He also acts more aggressive in some situations too, for example when he has 2 stacks on his passive.

Master Chef Tahm Kench (975RP)

Tahm Kench will be released with a skin as per the norm with new champion releases, this one plays on Tahm Kench's constant mention of love for food and glutony while he is being played.

This skin is awesome, it's really well made the new particles and model look awesome and I love the decisions they made with this skin. As with all 975RP skins, this comes with a new model, particles for his E and R and a new back animation, ther have also been some additions to his "angry" animations as well, with the addition of some kitchen utensils. This is definitely worth the extra splash (no pun intended), one of the best skins I have seen in a while.

Gentleman Gnar (975RP)

As well as a new champion we get a new skin for Gnar. Gnar is one of my main champions so I was pretty hyped when I heard he was getting a skin. This 975RP skin gives Gnar a new model, particles for his auto attacks and Q (mini and mega), as well as some new audio but as of writing this it is said to be "incomplete". I'm hoping with them saying that the audio is incomplete that they plan to add more because I feel like compared to Cho'Gath's gentleman skin this one is lacking in that regard. Other than that I love this skin and will be picking it up myself.

That's everything in this update, overall pretty excited for what is here, please keep in mind that as of writing this all information is correct, however it is subject to change so keep a look out. Thanks for reading.
