I hope the percentage of Tahm Kench's Thick Skin health return isn't too high
Am I right in that if it has for example 40% and you don't kill him at once, he basically has 40% Damage resistance? Oh boy.

Since there aren't numbers yet it is tough to tell, but it would appear that he gets roughly 50% of the damage you deal back; if he isn't forced to actually shield. Furthermore, he doesn't have any good escapes and therefore will have trouble disengaging a fight to get the heal for free (and then one could actually get grevious wounds, assuming they actually make an ad item that can utilize it).
It will scale really well with Spirit Visage.
Though his passive health is probably going to be more for lane sustain. I can imagine the extended Sustain helping him much once the team fight starts. That's going to make him more reliant on his shield. But the fact that his shield seems to be 100% of his Gray health means he would have almost 100% health again in a shield if timed right. (though the shield duration isn't that long I think.)
