Rammus not a tank without his Taunt?

ya lost me there, Will

also, "other mechanics that let them benefit from being attacked" are we just ignoring Rammus's W? Ya know, the thing that reflects a portion of any AA that hits him? As well as ignoring the fact that his passive and W reward him for building lots of armour (and, by extension, a Thornmail)?

Rammus's thing is that you do NOT want to attack him, but he MAKES YOU with his taunt. His only issue is that without it, there's really no reason to attack him, lol... It makes him into a rather old-style tank, and a little antiquated. But he's still a tank.
