Thoughts on champion reworks. Tahm Kench?!

So im curious to see what the rest of the community thinks about the numerous champion reworks that riot has been putting out. It seems like some of them are for balance, and some of them are just for more interesting play ability. Now on the topic of making more interesting kits, I think they have done a fantastic job with the champions they have reworked, even if they may seem a bit over tuned kit wise at first. In terms of balance I dont have much to say on the champs that they have reworked thus far, but I do have a huge request for a champion re-work to be done on Tahm Kench. His kit just doesn't seem right to play with or against. As a whole I wouldn't consider him a very GOOD champion but just one with a niche role for comp teams or something like that. But when I play solo queue playing both with and against Tahm Kench feels terrible, if your playing with him as the adc, and your not duo, he can litterally stop you from playing the game by eating you during a trade or team fight, and there is really nothing you can do about it. Playing against him feels bad too because it can be very hard to secure a kill even if you land all your cc and set up a gank well because his saving potential and own personal suitability is so strong. I feel like this champion is just a big middle finger to the play ability of players in the game when he is picked, and he should be changed, because his concept is really cool, just make him a top laner with like an offensive eating ability, but please get rid of this awful niche that he is in.

Except his entire character design was based around him being an armoured champ transport. Before the character himself even had concept art for him, the idea was "He put people inside him and transported them". He's got a great niche, and good tahm kench players can make awesome plays. As someone who plays him off and on, I do sometimes make the mistake of eating a teammate in a team fight, but trust me when I say that it pisses me off just as much as it pisses you off. You get taken out of the fight, and I can't devour that 3 stack carry because I have to wait 4 seconds to spit you out, and even then the ability is on cooldown.

Out of all the characters that need reworks, Tahm is one of the lowest on that list. His design and animations all still hold up, and he fits his role on a team perfectly. Just because the enemy Tahm Kench does his job, and saves the life his stupid carry, doesn't mean he's BS to fight against, nor does it mean he's a bad champion.

my man, you have obviously never played him top or jg. Tahm Kench is really good early game as a fighter and good late game as a support. don't diss the platypus.

I know he isn't a platypus but it matches.
