Please update this guide!

The new update don´t let me use Second Wind,and Conditioning together

Lovely guide! but what would be your advice against a team that huddles around carry like ezreal which has such a cuckold e and can basically destroy you?

(2) |

If your carry is strong enough than you can peel for them instead of diving and let your carry out DPS. If your carry isn't that strong than it's best to avoid 5v5s and instead go for picks or let someone on your team splitpush if you have a good splitpusher.

Math calculation

What kind of sorcery is that? How did you do that? Are you maths professor(or just a sorcerer)?

(2) |

LMAO I'm actually a sophomore in college studying math

Ye update it, it's not updated. You say different things in Item selection and "what to buy at start etc" so please update

UPDATE PLS!

i have playd rammus jungle even i suck in jungle and struggle there once i go jungle i dont leave till i lv.6 but i found farming in jungle with rammus is easy, you have given good builds but i still dont know the mechanic of when or how to gank before lv.6, about the build here are good and the skills ability sequance im confused which i go yours or mine, your guide is good i loved it.

You Gank exactly the same but without an ulti you don't even need since you taunt them :)?

(2) |

Ganking pre 6 is easy on Rammus and one of the reasons he is a strong pick. There's really not a ton to talk about- you just powerball up and hit them and use abilities. For champs with detrimental skillshots, you should try to predict and dodge these abilities (see my ganking section). Flash is also very powerful on Rammus and can be used to get through minion waves or past detrimental skillshots.

How come you max E second instead of W? Is it better to have a longer taunt than to gain extra armour and stuff?

(2) |

The stats gained from leveling w are almost negligible, as the stats gained are only 5% per level. It's much better to have a longer taunt. Pre-rework I maxed w first because the stat gains were large but now there's just no reason to go past a single point.

Also what do you get against their APs?

Abyssal mask, Visage, and Adaptive helm are all good purchases

I'm kind of dumb, so after raptors you take your blue and ignore your red until after you gank?

(2) |

No, the standard path is raptors -> red -> wolves -> blue -> gank

(1) |

Why don't you use dead man's plate?

(2) |

To be honest I thought I had it in my situational item slots, I guess I forgot to put it there. I just updated it and put it there- it has decent stats and isn't a bad pickup vs heavy AD teams, but there are usually better purchases.

I'm confused about your last edit in the jungling section: Why start with the raptors, which may give you a lot of experience but will still leave you at level 1? Isn't it better to take first one of the buffs, which will bring you straight away to level 2 (and you get the buff for the rest of the jungling)?

(2) |

Killing raptors does get you level 2 by itself

(6) |

Ooops, my bad, got that one wrong.

Do you ask for a leash to get the raptors? If so, from who (I guess it depends on whether you're on the red or the blue side)?

I never ask my botlane to leash, and I only have my midlane leash if they have a good leashing ability e.g. syndra q, ori q, lux e. Even with no leash Rammus does raptors without taking barely any damage.

I've been using Rammus in ranked, and just bothered to look at a guide to see if anyone had better ideas.
I go red, then raptors, wolves, blue, and hope to gank.
I get cinderhulk and scout or whatever item, with mobis, then I go to thornmail right away. As for runes, I take demolish, as it helps if you get rift herald, you usually get two turrets with this rune. I also take triumph, as triumph is super good on tanks. I level up q until I hit 6, then max taunt, as some people have escapes, and I don't want them to move until they die, as sometimes laners don't know hot to follow up my ganks, so I need to keep them there longer.

Thanks for the guide, I managed to get an S in a 3v3 match with it :)
A question though: Randuin's Omen has extra HP, which Thornmail does not. Would it not be better to go for Randuin's before thornmail if they have some AP damage?

(2) |

Happy to help. As to your question: I'm not really sure what the 3v3 meta is, but in 5v5 the enemy team will generally have 1 AP Champion, sometimes 2 or even 3. With 1 AP champ, it's generally better to go thornmail for the following reasons:

1.a majority of the damage you will be taking is AD.

2. AP champs will GENERALLY be focused more on squishies than on tanks. There are exceptions to this, such as aoe control mages like , but usually they will focus on squishies.

3. Most of the AP damage you will be taking will usually be early in the fight, which is when you have your + HP from cinderhulk to block a large amount of it.

4. Thornmail makes you very effective at assassinating AD carries.

If they have two AP champions, going tabi into visage is pretty common, unless the ADC is significantly stronger than the two AP champions.

The only time I have built randuin's first is when 1. I am very behind, 2. the enemy ADC is fed, and 3. my carries are fed. At this point it's best to accept that you won't be able to assassinate the enemy ADC, and instead should focus on protecting your own- Randuin's is best at doing so, so this is really the only point I'd buy it first.
