I rarely complain about champs, but I agree with you. After a long time, I finally found another champion that truly annoys me that I instantly ban them in rank. He really deserves a few nerfs, mainly in his R and W. I don't care if they buff him elsewhere, but as long as the problems are addressed, I'm fine with it.

First off, why give his ult a 120 second cd at first rank? It deserves at least a 150 second cd like other global/semi-global teleporting abilities because it not only increases his damage slightly, but also allows him to teleport another ally with him. That's about as strong as a TF, Pantheon, Nocturne, Shen and Rek'Sai ult. He gives tanks very easy access to the backline out that can surpass wards.

Second, His W offers to much safety yet too much freedom to do high risk actions. It's like he is encouraging risky plays without actually taking a risk because he is there to eat you. Also, the argument "just cc Tahm Kench" is not always applicable because the stasis is just too long and he has that movement speed buff to make him even more annoying and hard to cc. And the bad thing is that sometimes, his team does not lose out on much damamge when swallowing an ally because he can spit out his ally after a short while. If swallowed ally is still in trouble, keep in belly and run away with bonus movement speed and huge shield. If safe, spit them out and turn to attack now that their cc and some of their damage is gone. Not too mention the ability has a freakin 10 second cd, meaning that even if you wait for the cd of your abilities to be back, his W is as well and good luck trying to kill the ADC again.

And yes, having a troll Tahm Kench on your team is worse than a "helping" Anivia/Bard/Jarvan. Good thing they are mostly found in normals and does not happen often to me. This is one of the few champs that can potentially be anti-fun to both enemies and allies.
