Why can't Tahm Kench ult while he has an enemy in his mouth?

This could be such a strong engage tool if this was possible. Eat someone, and then drag them into the middle of your team. I think Tahm Kench should be about more than just devouring allies. He should be able to make big plays while he has an enemy in his mouth, and this would allow him to do that. And don't tell me it doesn't have counterplay, because he has to get 3 stacks before he eats you. He's not like Blitz or Thresh who can just grab/hook you whenever they want.

what's stopping him from eating an enemy then ulting into fountain?

Maybe if this is too broken, Riot can make the fountain off limits when he has an enemy in his mouth. But aside from that it would be a very interesting ability.

It is far too broken for that exact reason. It's the same reason he can't flash or ghost with them in his mouth. Every lvl 6 engage would mean an enemy gets put under a turret.

Uh, you could... not get hit by his extremely short range autos 3 times?

are we going to pretend that tahm isn't sticky when he gets on you now

When he gets on you, sure, but he shouldn't be on you in the first place.

You know damn well in a team fight he is going to get someone. It's not just his auto that applies stacks either.

From what I've heard you can just get item 3222 and use it on yourself to remove the slowing effect and kidnap your target quite a distance.

What if we made his ult like a mid range kassadin, but kept his animation? then it would be a great engage/play-maker, but not a cheesy cheesemaker like the ult-to-fountain buisness.

Nah. Just a laner who could ult you under his tower.
