Should Tantrum (Amumu) Heal?

I love playing Amumu, he's my main, but I've noticed that his sustain in battles, even though he is a tank, is pretty bad. It would be very useful if his E had a slight heal. I only say this because champs like Darius and Sylas have healing on their abilities. Of course, it would need to be a heal that couldn't be abused or overpowered through items, just something to better sustain in fights. Such as how every third auto attack on Xin heals him and deals extra damage, which has helped me and a Pyke to outplay an ADC, support, and jungle. Maybe Amumu's E heals for 2.5% of his max mana, something that slowly scales with something you already build. Anyway, these are just some ways I think Amumu could be tweaked to make him a more likeable champ, and maybe to balance this change take away 1% of the reduced damage on his E. Thank you.

Side note. Amumu's team fights are great, but it usually turns into an int.

A good teamfight comp around Amumu is.

heal on damage is easily the most powerful damage mitigation mechanic next to invuln in league.

its one of those false choice mechanics that tricks you into thinking you have a fighting chance.

and its incredibly hard to balance.

even with things like diminishing returns counteracting it.

galio who used to have it in past showed us why it was broken.

if it wasn't for the lack of gap closer to make use of his old ult,plethora of bad matchups,being extremely niche and plethora of other problems it may have been more evident.

i've gotta say his old w was easily in my opinion his strongest skill.

maybe perhaps even stronger then his ult.

i mean sure his old ult was nice but his old w was probably the strongest steroid and defensive mechanic in the game up til its removal.

now we aren't counting current fioras riposte/parry as it didn't exist yet.

anyways if amumu had that he sort of heal on dmg mechanic with his current kit he'd be broken.

he'd basically be old galio with a gap closer.

infact the only thing balancing out that skill was the fact that galio for the most part could never truly abuse it.

and again it was nerfed several times throughout its patch history.

originally it was basically godmode with the press of a button.

i was there back when it was at its strongest.(before the w heal nerfs hit)

it was disgusting.

it was not fun to face.

if you remember old ap yi's w.

it was basically an even more braindead version of that.

and im thankful personally that heal on damage is gone.

if riot ever revisits that mechanic god help league.

people who say he's( Amumu ) broken are just fucking trash at the game its the same as people who say garen's Garen broken or people who say that shaco's bad cus of his winrate (shaco Shaco is sorta bad but not if you make good use of his kit(which is why pinkward/other good shaco players are fucking sick)
