i didnt say that either was better, just that rammus' taunt only effecting one target isnt much of a downside. and i've seen silences be applied to rammus during his DBC and it didnt negate it so i dont really believe that. and besides, the problem i have with DBC isnt the dmg return, its the insane armor and mr bonuses it gives him. no other tank in the game has an ability nearly as useful for boosting its defenses. not even close. turning 250+ armor and MR to 400 is complete bs no matter how you look at it. i understand no one should be attacking him anyways, but this allows him to escape from pretty much any gank with any amount of health left. it also makes him practically immune to tower damage. its not that any one ability he has is too powerful, its the fact that he has everything. a powerful taunt, and AoE ability that for some god awful reason damages towers, he's got a huge defense boosting abiity, best in the game, and he's got an insanely useful escape/chase/gettin'-around ability. he has no clear counter (Merc Tread's reduces the taunt to 2 seconds at max level, but that's basically saying you ONLY unable to do anything for 2 seconds on top of the damage return, and banshee's veil isn't very useful since it can only block one spell and he's either going to have a karthas or ez remove it or remove it with his powerball before taunting.) there's a reason why he's banned from AAAALLLLLLLL ranked matches. i'm not saying RIOT should cultivate my individual peeve with this guy, but i'm sure some people would like to be able to play him in ranked, and that would happen if they brought him down to the same level as the rest of the tanks.
