Re-bench the Kench

Ok so people have already brought up how OP Tahm Kench is. Instead of bitching about that more, I was just wanted to propose some changes and see what others thought about them.

(Saw this somewhere) Have Tahm Kench spit the Champion out early if he is hard cc'd.
Remove all stacks of his passive if he stuns an enemy with Q so that he can't eat them right after for a free chain cc every time with no skill required.
There should be a drawback to having a shield the size of riven players' egos. Maybe an armor or magic resistance debuff while the shield is active.

Well that is all I have got. But I really would like too see some change in Tahm Kench.

His W Deals to much damage and W duration is CC you can't stop unless you get a item 3140 for a skill if maxed with some cdr, is up in about 8-10 seconds in which he can easily Stun during that duration with his Q. His shield does have draw backs. His shield very quickly goes away, especially with damage. Kiting him helps.

Me abusing Tahm Kench was the only reason I achieved plat this season. Eventually I started to fall off due to better players knowing how to better deal with Tahm Kench. Another was he was starting to see more bans so I had to rely on other champs.

I made a thread about Tahm Kench some time ago. A lot has changed in the game so I don't know if he is as effective anymore in top or jungle. Due to the adc meta switch where adcs are more dominant he is best as a support right now imo. Being able to provide great Peel and CC and being tanky without actually being tanky.

His W needs more counter play besides a QSS. A max W is up pretty quick with a base 6 sec Q stun which could be up sooner with cdr.

He still reks. Look at bjergsens latest zed game on the YouTube channel "bjersen stream". He gets 1v1 twice by kench support and dies both times. Pretty disgusting for a support to 100-0 a solo lane champ.

Riot thinks he has very little sticking power however his stacks Sony vanish like Bruam the degrade so takes forever for them to go away as well as the range and width of q and the insaine slow (which doesn't degrade like other slows of the same strength) makes him super sticky even to mobile champs unless you jump a wall which isn't always possible.
