no, he's no where near Rammus, Shen, or Amu. And worse than tank Gragas, Chogath, and Malphite... which are sub-optimal build choices to begin with for those champs.

A two second, medium ranged, single target root, and a short ranged slow do not make for good initiation. I would frankly rather see a full tank Kennen than a full tank Maokai on my team.

He's an ok tankish mage so imo he doesn't need a buff.
