Should Thornmail damage draw turret aggro?

I didn't bring it before because Bramble Vest was very strong, so there was no point buffing it further.

But now that it was gutted, I think it is important to mention how absurd and unfair it is to get tower aggro on yourself because an Ezreal Q'd you over the wall.

I think it would be strange if it didn't. Right now the rule is "if you deal damage to an enemy while in tower range the tower will target you". I'm not sure making it "if you deal damage to an enemy while in tower range the tower will target you, except in these situations" is an improvement.

And i wouldnt mid that if they didnt remove the 15% damage reflection fromitem 3075 that was already weak for a tiny base number the Armor scaling was already there with the damage reflection and it was weak but they nerf it and make you need to build 3 thornmails and 2 item 3110 to even make up some of the damage you lost

Yes it should.

Yes. For a tank, drawing turret aggro is beneficial.

It quite often isn't, and in situations it is, wouldn't it make sense for a tank to actually need to do something to gain this benefit?

Any form of damage that originates from a champion source draws tower aggro. That's like saying Sunfire shouldn't trigger tower aggro because you're just smacking the tower instead of the enemy champion.

Same with gauntlet procs.

Even Trundle's pillar draws tower aggro, and that doesn't even damage. lol

Fun fact: Trundle's pillar does 1 true damage

That isn't unfair: that's just unfortunate

I always hated how DFT drew turret aggro. Especially on champs like Brand where i have to wait like 6 second to get into tower range after landing a skill
