Tahm Kench design

I think there should b 2 "themes": an evil aquatic monster and a traveller.

First, Tahm Kench sounds like ........................... it sounds very bad. Deyry is more acceptable, though its still not so good :d

He's way too small for his giant-monster-demon-fish character. To make him look like a genuinly evil creature and remove all fat mayor and toad resemblences, he should be much, much bigger. Like Sion but much wider. His skin should be dark to show that he is evil. It should be a dark rich blue with vague stripes and his eyes glow yellow; teeth should be widely and equally spaced like a shark. All clothing except jacket and hat remain; a traveller not a mayor. The hat should be put on only occassionaly because the monster side is the core theme and both should be tattered and dark brown. Most importantly, he should be much bigger.

Edit: look at trailer you'll see what I am describing but imgaine him huge and with dark blue skin and very dark brown jacket

Like this his colour scheme is dark blue and dark brown; much cleaner than many shades of light green, black and purple.

They did a very, very good job with his character, like Braum and Ekko, but they shouldn't have added the toad and fat mayor thats all...........

he isn't supposed to look like a traveler,he is supposed to look like a shady business man and he pretty much fits into that.

The toad-thing helps him not to step into fizzs territory too much,I mean we've got already a regular fish guy. Besides the toad fits the whole "gluttony-theme" perfectly.

They were going for a corrupt yet high class look, watch Django Unchained and the bad guys in that movie fit the motif as does he.

Where in the world did you get "Deyry" from?

He's not SUPPOSED to look super evil: he uses his silver tongue to trick people into agreeing to let him eat everything they love (though I am not sure yet WHY he needs to make these bargains), and looking like a demon would hinder this; he instead looks cultured and trustworthy.

Maybe "Demonic Tahm" cold be a future skin, though...

Tahm Kench is not a Toad... he is a Demon-frog-catfish. Get your facts right.

He's some kind of mutated catfish though, so his color makes sense. He might not be a "monster" so much as one of the strange residents of Bilgewater (a place that, for all we know, might have many anthropomorphic sea creatures). As for his size, he only sews 2 coats together to make his own, so he's only about as wide as ~3 normal people standing side by side. Size in-game is a combination of thematic and balance reasons; Rek'sai and Cho'gath are both MASSIVE, but their hitboxes have to be a certain size. And I like Tahm Kench better than Deyry.

So you want to completely change the character because you want a Tahm to be a generic-obviously-evil edge lord.

LOL at Ekko being a better character than Tahm.

His color palette is great. He looks like slimy, bottom-dwelling river creature. We also don't need anymore blue/purple themed champions ffs.
