Tahm Kench not worth playing

Something changed about Tahm Kench in a horrible way, his Q doesn't apply to his 3 stacks for his W to eat an enemy champion quick enough, when taking damage you don't get some health back when you don't use your E, it's like you used the shield but you didn't and you don't get any health back, he doesn't go fast when you eat a friendly champion to carry him or her out of danger, he also isn't as tanky, many damage champions can cut through his armor and health like butter. Tahm Kench has been nerfed several times, but this is the worst thing Riot has done to this champion he doesn't help much in team fights since just about all his abilities that make him good won't, his W can do a lot of damage but you can only use basic attacks to get the 3 stacks to eat an enemy champion. This champion Isn't even worth playing anymore, I hope someday Riot will bring Tahm Kench back to what he was before when he was able to be competitive in about all lanes instead as he is right now is a support champions who Isn't even as good as other support champions.

I expect that he's on their radar for the patch after Worlds since his winrate is so low. Tahm is notoriously difficult to balance for pro play, so I wouldn't be surprised if they've been keeping him on the weak side intentionally, similar to Akali and Aatrox, so that he doesn't dominate the pro scene.

Season 10 is bringing us a pretty big buff to support's gold income, so it's highly likely that supports in general are getting a balance pass.

"If TahmKench gets buffed it will be abused in pro play" so it stays in its useless current form argument.

Well Riot needs to give him something new or just remove him from the game if that’s what makes everyone happy. Also there are still other champions worse than Tahm Kench when he was at his prime and some are still being abused in pro play.
