User blog comment:Leafstorm001/Bargains with Tahm Kench, a lore theory/@comment-5035765-20150801235428

this seems to step really far into "Tahm Kench is the most important character in LoL" territory... which kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth, tbh. He really wasn't hinted at at all before, and hasn't been mentioned at all in the Bilgewater event (despite being a Bilgewater champ...). All of the other Event champs (Lissandra, Azir, and Kalista, off the top of my head) were really important in the Events they were tied to. On the other hand, the Bilgewater Event not only focused on an old champ with a rework (Gangplank), but also completely ignored ole Tahmmy-boy
