Will there ever be some buffs for tahm kench directed at his toplane potential?

When riot released tahm kench they said that he was initially a toplaner but they decided that the support role fitted him better.They also said that is a toplaner as a secondary role, but we dont see much of that lately besides players that main him top(including me).I would really like to see some buffs like some ad ratios on his q and w ,some buffs that wouldnt affect his strength as a support but help him top.

WTF. Tahm Kench is literally the worst thing to buff in top lane. He should not get buffs right now, if he should get any it should be directed at his support role. His Top lane is TOO anti-fun and toxic.

But he was designed as a top laner/jungler primary, but due to the huge nerfs he got and the fact his allied devour exists, he was shoved towards support.

Well then he's healthier down there, too much to handle at top lane as it is since his type of damage, combined with his damage consistency and CC is disgusting.

Tahm kench gets kited a lot and loses short trades,his dmg revolving around his passive which is consistent dmg.

As a tk main, I'd like to see him be just a little bit tankier so that MasterYi doesn't just come on to me and press q e and auto attack me to death. I'd also like to see his tongue be able to latch on to allies like it would minions and pull them in his mouth. Just allies though. I'd like to see the bug where he spits out a minion and it dies right under him fixed.

That bug is really annoying and it happens quite often. He doesnt need more ways to devour allies since he is already quite good in solo queue as a support and dominant in pro play.When you play tahm kench top u dont even devour ur allies that often since your w is a huge chunk of dmg in early/mid game.He can beat some matchups like tanks or some bruisers ,but he struggles a lot against rageblade and ranged champions.

If they want to buff him for top lane/jungle they should keep his damage exactly as is.

Allied Devour duration halved, although honestly they could just remove it entirely.

Red buff, blue buff, gromp, big wolf, big krug and big raptor now can be Devoured, but only after three stacks of Acquired Taste have been applied. However, Devour deals 30% of its damage to them. Dragon/Herald/Baron still unaffected.

Maybe reduce his Q CDs by .5 at all ranks.
