While I agree with you that Thornmail is a great item on Amumu, These synergy lists are ridiculous. Just because an items is good on a character doesn't mean that it synergizes with the character. And that goes for most of the one's for this item.

Rammus could be on here, because the armor increases his damage, and the passive stacks with his Defensive ball curl. Maybe Shen, because he has a taunt and forces people to attack him doing damage. . .but for everyone else? It's just a good item.

But what about Kennen? If I am facing a Yi and Xin I would get it on Kennen, or Poppy, or anyone elses.

Synergy items should be items that are core built on those characters, not items that are "good to have" But items that are "Must have." on those characters.
