What made Rammus viable?

Asked by Aseafy on February 14, 2013

If he isn't viable, what made him at least playable. I've been spectating a lot of games where rammus is being played in high elo at the moment, and most of the games he is actually successful.

What changed this season that made him playable?

ok here is this. the weirdest thing happened. i was top lane fighting riven and won the lane by 4/0/1. i started with doran shield and a health potion. and won my lane. even with gank attempts to chase me i manage to get away with 100-200 health. the best part is i had barrier along with flash and maxed my taunt. i dealt a lot more damage to riven then she did to me as well. i think rammus "Calms" aggressive melee champions. like riven, trynd, aatrox, yi and so on. if built right and used right he does really great on locking and saving others from melee related champs.
Against ranged or mages. only thing he can do is ball into them but lock them into one spot due to their auto atk is ranged so it takes a certain distant to pull them that is not worth it. if you position them correctly you can out damage them and ofcourse your teammates will catch up. rammus is a great character for being a tank. especially with his passive

From all the matches though all the elos....rammus just need to get to lvl six with two or more kills and he would be set for the rest of the game. Rammus was my first purchased champ and I love playing him. His ganks are swift an he can 1v1 any champ. In team fights, he can pop his ult and just run around withering down all champs in his way. To me.....he is a really viable.

Am i the only one who has never fully got the taunt to work properly in battles?

Health meta makes him dumb too. He's nigh impossible to kill when he's rocking Warmogs and **** because he gets such a massive innate resistance steroid.

Rammus has been seeming to fall off less easily, he used to fall off around level 3-5 because he was so slow in the jungle ..

I guess that did not answer your question. Obviously, his puncturing taunt is annoying. But that didn't change.

It's probably not his patch history, last time he received a buff was more than 2 months ago with the Nami patch.

I just wanted to add that the patch history doesn't really provide an answer. :p
