Amumu Rework Idea

Hello! I was thinking about imminent champion reworks and came up with an Amumu concept that I wanted to share. Any suggestions or criticisms are welcome!

Passive: Cursed Touch Amumu's first autoattack on a champion or large monster Entangles them, tethering them to Amumu. Breaking Entanglement deals % current health damage (instantaneous for jungle monsters) and applies a decaying slow.

Q:Bandage Toss Amumu tosses a bandage in a line, damaging and stunning the first enemy hit. Amumu pulls himself to the target.

W: Despair A toggle that makes Amumu cry,causing nearby enemies to take base + % max health magic damage.

E:Tantrum Passive: Whenever he takes damage, Amumu gains a stack of Resentment, gaining armor and magic resist. At 10 stacks he screams, losing the stacks but dealing aoe magic damage, slowing enemies hit, and gaining a shield for every large monster or champion struck. Max one stack per second for DOTs, and the passive has its own cooldown. Active: Amumu gains a burst of movement speed and some Resentment instantly.

R: Curse of the Sad Mummy Amumu released an empowered Entanglement at all nearby Champions, briefly stunning and dealing some base + his passive's damage instantly. If broken, the Entanglement deals the ult's exact initial damage again as true damage and briefly roots them.

Thoughts: When Amumu does inevitably get reworked,his Ult is most definitely getting changes ala Sejuani. My goals were to make his ultimate more healthy while emphasizing his loneliness through gameplay. In this rework, enemies have to choose how long to "play" with Amumu, as Entanglement's penalty is harsher for higher health targets. While he trades in his "ult to win" binary nature,he gains extended zone control and the survivability needed to maintain the new playstyle. However, he's still overall very simple to play. Ironically, when considering counterplay, the best move is to ignore him! A chunk of his power manifests from enemies trying to escape or retaliate,so teams that can burst him down fast or simply focus other targets will find success by basically giving him as little attention as possible. Aww :(
