Hey summoners! Welcome to my first guide here in MOBAFIRE, i really hope you guys enjoy it.
I'd like to say i'm not really into all these forums stuff, and my guide may not be as organized or customised as many of other guides out there, but this guide is focused on trying to share with you guys my experiences with Rammus, on the most simple way. Before we start, i'd like to say sorry for my terrible english, i'm not American, so i'm sure there will be a lot of mistakes, still i can speak some english. I'll try to fix these mistakes as soon as... I find then?
Also, if played with this build, or read my guide and found it helpful, please gimme a vote up, it really help me and cheers me up. Even if you don't like it, or you think it could be better with some other iten, tell me. All feedbacks are great!

Rammus is the best tank on the game, on my oppinion. He is also a GREAT jungler, because of his amazing ganks. The first time I saw him, I said "OMG, it's Bowser". That said, I HAD to buy him.



I realized he was a... different kind of tank. He wasn't like Dr. Mundo, for exemple, who'd just buy 3 warmog's and go where he pleases. No, Rammus isn't about lots of hp. You just stacks lots of armor, or MR.




After lots of matches, some of them amazing, other ones terrible, I finally found the way that works best for me. And now I'm here to change my experience with you guys. What does it has different from other Rammus guides? You'll see!




I'd like to thanks a lot to Jhoijhoi and her AMAZING Making A Guide. Almost every BBCode, organization and general stuff that makes this guide looks clean(or not), it's because of her. So, thanks!

Now, let's stop talking and start this guide!

Greater Mark of Health: Our best pick here. You'll want this early health, it really makes all the difference on a possible early first blood. It's also great when jungling. Greater Mark of Armor: Another good choice. I don't think it's best then Fortitude, because we'll pick armor at Seals, but if you want even more armor, you can have it here.

Greater Seal of Armor: Our best pick at seals. Seals give the best deffense, and we'll want that early armor, both if you're jungling or laning. Greater Seal of Health: As you guys can see, Seal of Fortitude gives more health then Mark. But while seal also has a great armor, mark's armor is ridiculous. So I really think it's best to get health at Mark, and armor here, with seals. But if you just want to have more health, go on and pick these. They are great, though.

Greater Glyph of Ability Power: Rammus's Powerball deal magic damage(+100% ability power). His Defensive Ball Curl repels magic damage. And his amazing ultimate, Soaring Slam, deals magic damage too(+30% of ability power). So you can see why AP can be a little useful for him. His magic damages aren't enough to build a AP Rammus, but you don't know what to use at Glyph, you can use this one, they can be a little helpful at all. Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction and Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction: Rammus's skills have a bit long CD (but his ultimate). This CD can help you, because you'll want to use your Defensive Ball Curl a lot. It's your opinnion if you want to pick CDR/ level or just CDR.

Now i'll show you the most Viable Summoner Spells, plus some others you can use. Any other Summoner Spell that i don't talk about here, it means he just don't work with Rammus, and you SHOULDN'T USE THEN!

R>E>W>Q. Always level up your ultimate when you can.
You maybe asking why max E instead of W. You'll want your Puncturing Taunt at level 5, to have all its 3 seconds of duration. Defensive Ball Curl is a good skill, but your taunt is more important, it's your CC. It's important laning, and even more jungling, because your taunt make your ganks AMAZING.





Spiked Shell: Your passive it's ok, but 25% isn't much. Many people think you can just stack a lot of armor to deal great damage, but YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT! If your enemy has AP champions, you'll build MR, doesn't matter if your passive only convert armor.

Powerball: This skill makes your ganks amazing, and can make you move through the map really quickly. You'll use this to start your combo. When ganking, use it, and WAIT A WHILE. This skill keep acelerating, so when it starts you isn't really that fast. Then you keep acelerating, until you become really fast. Then roll to your enemies. If there are minions on the way, flash! The best tips I can tell you about it are at the Summoner's Spells section... flash + powerball.

Defensive Ball Curl: That skill make you the amazing tank. +150 armor and MR? OMG! Always use this when you're in a teamfight, or when you're being focused. Don't forget that this kill also RETURN the damage you take, +10% of your total armor. So this is your skill that makes you "nuke" your enemies, while you don't tank any damage! After your taunt, ALWAYS USE IT!

Puncturing Taunt: Oh, Rammus's taunt. Believe me, many people hate it. One of the longest CC's on the game, plus reducing enemies armor... Just amazing. After rolling to your enemy with Powerball, taunt him and turn on Defensive Ball Curl, and watch your enemy's death!
