Rammus Build Guide by Alay

This Guide rocked I thought Rammus was a bad Champ I was so wrong thanks for adding a new champ to my toolbox.

:D Aaaaah now it is fun again, to play rammus :3, though I need to practice more with him in jungle, i won 3/4 games with this guide :P, so thank you. +1

A real good straight to the point guide, just one sentence :

Smite: Required for Jungle Rammus. Don't ever jungle ANY character with smite, whether you can clear like a champ or not. Smite means securing your objectives (dragon/baron) and not getting them stolen.

i guess with should be without? anyway Good job ! :)

lol i won 4vs5(one left right away), and we took out the baron at lvl 12!!!

I didn't use this build, but with other rammus builds u can own easy.

Looks interesting and I'll give some of these builds a couple tries at some point. I am, however, a little surprised that you only have Mercury's Treads on one of the builds and it's at the very end, lol.

Most of the builds don't really feature any early magic resist which means you will get rocked by any good AP player when you attempt to gank, especially if they snare you and burst you before backing off to the tower.

You would also get AOE dwindled down pretty easily without any sort of early game magic resist (Treads at least). I would suggest finishing Mercury's Treads instead of Ninja Tabi since you are already a threat to AD champions inherently and AP champions have an edge on you if you don't catch them first.

After I give the attackspeed runes/other interesting aspects I'll decide if I'ma up-vote, and I probably will! =P

Good job, keep it up!

Good explanations. Little bit long, but when you read it you "learn" alot ;)

The idea with Rylai's Crystal Scepter is very good ;)

I forgot about that it can be usefull too on rammus

(Rammus is pretty much garbage now, keep that in mind through this post.)

The idea behind going little-to-no MR is explained a bit in the guide--basically, your "player skill" of Rammus is hitting W when you're about to get nuked hard. When Rammus was useful, many top players would go almost straight health/tanky and neglect lots of MR because you could use W-Steroid to avoid it.

The build I worked out and enjoyed (the first one) really isn't viable anymore, but the last three items (Banshee's/Randuin's/Mercs) weren't meant to be built in that order (something this site has a poor way of conveying, but is explained a bit in the text of the guide) but rather your core "I want these items to win the game, and get them in the order most needed."

Sadly, the nerf bat swinging again and again, along with the jungle change, firmly killed off Rammus in contrast to others. He clears too slow past first, doesn't clear quite as fast first round like before, and he pretty much falls off like a bag of bricks along with being unable to really invade/pressure/camp. Sad, favorite champion. Maybe one day he'll have another few minutes of glory.
