Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Tank Engine

    Gold

    Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.

    Why on Rammus

    Each takedown adds percent bonus Health, so you survive longer while Frenzying Taunt (E) forces enemies to attack you through Defensive Ball Curl (W) damage.

  2. Goliath

    Prismatic

    Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.

    Why on Rammus

    The extra Health lets you stay in fights longer after you engage with Powerball (Q), giving Defensive Ball Curl (W) more time to return damage to attackers.

  3. Dreadbringer

    Prismatic

    Gain an aura that continuously harvests permanent Cursed Power per enemy champion inside. Gain max Health based on your Cursed Power.

    Why on Rammus

    Frenzying Taunt (E) forces enemies to walk into you, so your aura harvests Cursed Power steadily and your max Health keeps growing.
