Tahm Kench is harmful to the team

I have just spent 3 games in a row with a giant frog that was trying on purpose to help the other team. As the adc, I do the most damage in a fight. Every fight Tahm eats me. This misses me 3-4 auto attacks, and even kills as Tahm walks away from the fleeing enemies. This is far worse than Kalista, whom I already hate, because the range you lose from him eating you is far more than the range you can shoot yourself. It is also on a far shorter cooldown.

TAHM KENCH SUCKS ASS.

Solution?

  1. Make it so you can eject yourself immediately.
  2. Add a toggle button that disallows being eaten.
  3. Add more range so you can make up the lost ground from the troll Kench
  4. Remove this unpolished and poorly thought out champion.

(He has no harass and no initiate. wtf is the point? He is a 2ndary initiator I guess?)

Please Rito... every new champion you release has more and more own team troll potential. Do you know how many ace in the hole's I have missed because of Tahm eating? I shouldn't have to dodge every Ranked game I have a Tahm on my team.

Edit: People seem to be missing the point. Yes other champs can mess with their own team, but Tahm takes far less skill to do it, and is a far less cooldown.

Actually, he has pretty good harass with his Q, but it's just a straight line Skillshot that can be blocked by minions.

His initiation, agreed, is not THAT great. But you know what IS great? Ulting behind the enemy with someone that CAN initiate in his mouth.

Just because you got trolled by your teammate once, doesn't mean that the champion is shit. Do you have any idea how troll-y Janna can be??? Can you imagine that one?? When's the last time you saw a Janna straight up troll? Give it time and people will play him properly.

Remember Bard ? I don't think you do

This isn't because of tahm kench. It is because of the player behind him. If he didn't use TK to help the other team, he would just use Bard. Or he would probably find some other way to screw with you. I'd say Bard would even be better at screwing up a teamfight than TK.

Can Tahm go on a magical journey with an ally?
