Tahm Kench Devour targeting

Is it picking the closest target to his mouth, or something?

I'm getting really annoyed of team fights picking a really random-ass ally instead of walking in range (or even if I already am in range) of the 3-stack enemy I clicked on.

P.S.

• Is his damage-taken bugged? He seems unreasonably squishy, and I'm not really sure why. Like, despite having all the stats higher than my carry - Sona's Q seems to dent me more.
• His stasis can be removed by Ragnarok (not tested other stuff).
• If he quickly recasts his W with a minion in him, he spits out an invulnerable minion at his feet.
• E's cast time seems to be an interruptible channel instead of a conventional cast time that cannot be interrupted. Keep interrupting it with movement commands and stuff. (The fact it isn't instant is annoying in of itself, but I digress).

P.P.S. Can we add a "hop out" ability replacer for swallowed allies? Like Vengeful Thorn. Allies can activate any of their abilities to hop out, but it's really hard selling that.
