kled human form

ok so i bought and tried this champion today.its fun and all and is very good (for as long as i playedhim) but i find a very very big con on him.his human form.once the bird goes arrivederci he is useless as hell.not only he has only 2 skills with it but he loses a bunch of speed unless he is chasing someone.so once you are down the chicken you cant even escape.i dont know if that was supposed to be his con but its feel very very punishing.opinions?
