Tips

* Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.

* Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.

* Tremors and Defensive Ball Curl can be used late in the game to obliterate towers. If
you're bogged down in a team fight, it is often valuable to break off and attack the
buildings.

Summoner Spells

For Summoner Spells it's your own perspective about what you like and don't like to use. But if I'm laning as rammus I like to use and .

Recommended Summoner Spells:
Laning: and

Others like to use Spells like:
and or
or and

Spells that are okay to get:
Good to use if teammates put wards or in Teemo's case "Shrooms" down
Good to use if you are solo laning against 2 people.
Okay Spell to have but I wouldn't recommend really using it. is better.

Spells Not To Get:
Don't need to exhaust other players since you are a fast character
Don't need ignite since other players will have it.
No need to have revive because you wont die a lot.
No need since once you hit level 18 you will have enough mana for team fights.
If you get this I would just laugh at you all game.
Why would you even get this? Seriously
May be good for beginners but once your level 30 please don't get this.

Runes

Laning and Jungling:
(x9) Greater Mark of Resilience
(x9) Greater Seal of Resilience
(x9) Greater Glyph of Shielding
(x3) Greater Quintessence of Fortitude

Reasons for using Armor Runes:
When it come to jungling you will do more damage to the minions therefor killing them faster. Dodge Runes may give you a less of a chance to get it but as Rammus you WANT to get hit especially if you go into

Many reasons as to why I don't use dodge on Rammus:
You always want to be taking hits and never dodging them.
Dodging stops you from making enemy players take damage from your and
You always want to keep getting hit while in it is the greatest thing. Which most people don't understand when playing Rammus.

Jungle Rammus


Jungling Summoner Spells: and

I'm giving you a story of pretty much where to go and what to get.(Should finish jungle in under 4 minutes doing what I say.)

First items: and (x5).
One tip for being a first timer at jungle Rammus is "GET" (DBC). Once you get to Blue Buff which will spawn at 1:55 you need to pop a when you get hit. Once Blue Buff gets down to about 575 it and get . Moving on to the Wolves you into them and go straight into . After is done hit each of the smaller Wolves once and then into them killing them both. Now pop another and move on to the Wraiths. Stand in the middle of them and turn on so you do damage to them all. Then go to and they should all die. Pop another and level up your . Now we go to Red buff and your should be down still with about 20 sec. So you kill Red Buff without and after Red Buff is done level up your and move on to the golems. them and one; go into and kill the other while the other kills itself from the damage. Level up Puncturing taunt Go back to Base and this is the end of Jungle for levels 1-4.

Now since your at the shop by the beginning to your so you have more mobility. Also grab (x4) since you only used 4 in the jungle. We go into the ganking phase now. Either go to bottom, top, or mid. Whichever one needs the more help. Assist them in getting a kill or two and then move on to the opposing teams jungle "IF" they don't have a jungler. The rest is self explanatory since you need to be ganking non-stop now.

Farming

For Rammus he is a bad farmer but when it's mid to late game he is a great farmer with a and his .

Tips for laning:
Last hit minions any chance you get.
NEVER start attacking minions that have full health. Only the ones with less than half.(let your laning partner hit the ones with full hp.)
Staying in the brush is great for Rammus because then they don't know if your going to them.
When your jungler comes to your lane to gank make sure your taunt the enemy player that has less of a chance to get away. If they both have a bad chance then puncturing taunt the one with the lost health so you can get an easy kill. If the other enemy player stays kill him/her too.

In late game Rammus can clean up minions likes it's his job. Walk into a bunch of minions that are going towards your tower and hit your then them. All of the minions should die. And you should get a lot of Gold.

Ranked Play

If you ever go into ranked games and you have no jungler on your team make sure you go Jungle Rammus.
3 reasons why.
Other team will hate you for being jungle Rammus.
you are a great ganker.
Since you have the longest taunt in the game you can gank the easiest.
Also NEVER puncturing taunt another tank in a team fight. - trust me I have seen it and it was the worst thing that could have ever happened in a game. AKA whole team died.
Never turret dive at early levels as Rammus. Your team wont be able to help you finish the kill.
Make sure to share Blue Buff and to share Red Buff with Teammates after the 3rd time around. They will need them more than you because they will be doing pretty much all the damage in team fights.

Team Work

For Rammus you may have a skill to get away. But it is an also great skill to help your teammate escape from a fatal death. You can into an enemy player stopping them in their tracks and letting your teammate get away. If there are two enemy players chasing, you can just and then so they don't target your teammate. AKA a player like Panth, Akali, Xin, or Kat who can jump/dash at them for an easy kill. Then your teammate blames you for not doing anything.

When in a team fight it is very important to go for the teams carry. Make sure your target them first and get the easy kill so your team can get the easy "ACE".

Another good thing to do as Rammus is to tank a tower with so your team can kill it nice and easy if no minions are around. Another thing you can do if an enemy player is around but with low health is to go into and move back and forth to block the enemy from stopping your team. It works great trust me.
Oh and if you go jungle Rammus and go in for a gank. Make sure to give your teammates the kills unless you absolutely have to kill the person.
Tips while Team fighting:
NEVER go for the easy bait running away from the fight. Your team will need you to stay and puncturing Taunt the heavy DPS or AOE champs.
If you have and it is off CD go into and flash into the middle of the enemy team to start a team fight. Once started puncturing taunt the enemies Heavy DPS character, and then go into . Turn on your Tremers and let your team just dominate your enemies.
Make sure to keep using on your enemies until it's down to their TANK. Once it's just him left puncturing taunt away.
