Tahm Kench - a great support, shield is a little over kill for rank 1

I have been playing Kench (W damage may still be a little on the high side), but this is about his E - it is a little too good right now honestly I think the shield should be 60/70/80/90/100% from 100% grey health at all ranks just to tone down his absurd tankiness as a support in the early game. Tahm Kench is a lot of fun and rewarding saving allies by eating them (so troll) or just eating them for the fun of it, but he may be a little bit on the strong side - but then again he also feels like he only has one spell which is his Q just like how Braum feels - melee support tanks can only feel so original.

(lower W damage would make sure he can never be played as a solo lane, and a support with a support kit should be played as a support; there are exceptions, which involve champions actually having kits that function in multiple roles)

Well I feel like his shield is counter by poke over time, letting the gray health heal a bit before hitting him again, he can't be bursted down quickly because of the massive shield but if poked long enough he just gets lowered and lower without a massive shield as back up, which is why I think Gangplank Is a counter to Tahm top

dont play tahm top - and if tahm ever is viable top he is too strong and needs to get nerfed

I don't have Tahm sadly, but I have seen him top a few times, and played against top Tahm, which is pretty strong late early game-mid game but falls off late game, and is pretty bad against early poke
