Why does Tahm get slowed when he eats an enemy champ?
I feel like if he gets a speed-boost from eating allies, he should also logically speaking get a speed boost from enemies as well.

cuz he gets dummy thic
They took off the speed boost when eating allies because of how powerful it was defensively in lcs.
Now he also gets a 95% slow when eating an ally.
But you can still counter the 95% slow and even have it speed you up if you get 100+% slow resistance from phase rush , unflinching, and boots of swiftness.
And ofc riot doesn't want you moving fast with an enemy champ in your belly, youre displacing them which is strong by itself as long as you have a team that doesn't have tunnel vision syndrome.
Skarner's ultimate and Tahm's Devour are actually quite similar. Let's look at that a little bit.
If Tahm got a speed boost while eating an enemy, Devour would literally be better than Skarner's ultimate. Shorter cooldown (10 seconds at base against an enemy champion) deals more damage, lasts longer (Skarner Impale is 1.75 seconds, Devour is up to 2 seconds), stops vision for the target, AND makes them untargetable by anyone, including their own team, then Tahm would just build movespeed items, devour someone, then run really far away into his own team. He has to be severely slowed or else his W would quite possibly be the best single non-ultimate ability in the game.
