Tahm Tench, maybe he should have been a Japanese catfish

After watching that video and seeing that Tahm is a support champ, it really feels like Riot missed an opportunity here by not making him more oriental in nature. The hat and his US VO really makes him feel more western. That's a theme you guys could have really worked off of. It's close to what he is now but I think it has more synergy with his role and his game.

When it was clear he was going to be a fish/catfish did riot do any research into catfish myths from around the world for ideas on him?

EDIT: I'd love to see some kind of interaction between him and mal, shyv, leona, and mega gnar in the game.
