Can the next support champ/rework have Zac's new/old ulti?

I used to play Zac a couple of years ago, but I had switched to support before he was reworked.

I gotta say that his rework really made me miss playing him overall. I really liked all the changes Riot made to him, so I feel like its kind of sad that his Kidnap ultimate is no more.

If that ultimate isnt any good for Zac, could we give that ultimate to a peeling tank support character?

Maybe you could fit it into a support tank that is desperately in need of a rework?

I wonder if there is anyone like that right now whos a good thematic fit for an ulti that swallows up a bunch of people and dumps them into a different area?

Someone that needs to be... UNBENCHED???

Your wording is all over the place.

Are you saying you want someone else to have Zac's current ultimate, or that you want someone else to have Zac's old ultimate?

He is basically suggesting to rework Tahm Kench to give him the ultimate Zac got with the tank update, which they are reverting.

So he wants Tahm to be able to swallow the enemy team and kidnap them to another place, instead of his current ultimate.

Yes sir! I think Tahm is always going to have some presence in pro play like other global champs that are strong with team coordination like Ryze, Galio, Shen, etc.

His Devour makes it even harder to balance him. If the had a more high impact ulti that wasnt global, you could probably shift even more power out of his Devouer for it, and it would still maintain his peeling play pattern, as well as supporting his overall theme of the river king ferry man.

True, champions with global ultimates tend to be balancing problems in pro play. Rek'Sai was another one and they reworked her global travel ultimate to an execute instead.

However, I don't know if Tahm Kench would really be the right candidate for this ultimate. It worked for Zac, because he had a good engage with his E and his CC helped him to keep the enemies in place for him to channel his R.

Tahm Kench has neither of these requirements. He has no engage whatsoever to actually reach the enemy, so the ult has just the use as peel. And he also doesn't really have CC to keep more than 1 enemy in the zone for him to channel it. Or do you imagine that it would work basically instant instead of being channeled?
