I just realized that the enemy gets reflected dmg and an AA speed decrease. Thornmail is now for defensive use. It's kinda odd that now it's a purely defensive item. Is that the reason why rammus got a buff?

Yeah it is the main reason Rammus got a buff, they even said in the patch notes for 7.14

"Defensive Ball Curl’s self-slow is proving a bit too painful for Rammus players, so we’re tuning it less aggressively. Plus, with this patch’s Thornmail update having less synergy with the Armordillo’s passive (less armor and less armor scaling on the new Thornmail), the Armordillo could use a buff anyway."
