So I recently played a game of ARAM recently as basically Amumu Brawler and I am wondering why Tiamat and it's upgrades do not apply Amumu's passive Curse. I would love to play a brawler/support Amumu to boost my team's AP damage. I realize this is what his ult does, but I think it would be awesome and give him more build choices if Tiamat items applied curse to all hit targets. What do you guys think about this? Would that be too much?

Yes. But the passive is worded "basic attacks apply Curse" so I thought Tiamat should apply it to all targets hit, since they are all hit by the basic attack, right?
I know it doesn't benefit Amumu much, but would be cool for getting backline enemies Cursed for his teammates.
LordGeovanni1 votesbasic attacks apply Curse (amumu's basic attack applies the curse.) Tiamat's cone doesnt apply basic attack effects it is a basic attack effect. The 'Curse's' effect makes magic damage done to the target effected by it a portion of the magic damage is done as true damage before damage reduction. tiamat is phyical damage not magic damage and thus will not interact with the curse. maybe wits end will liandrys lich bane ruinic echo

Tiamat does NOT apply on hit affects. It only applies a splash of damage based on your attack damage. Including it's active.
