Introduction

Hi, MOBAfire community, and Welcome to my Guide!, I'm Weird Builds, and this is my in-Depth Rammus Guide. I worked hard to make this guide the best I could, and I would appreciate any and all feedback that you may provide. .

Now....
This guide is an in-depth guide for RAMMUS, the Armordillo
I have the Guide divided in 2 sections: The Serious builds and the "Anti-Meta" or even "Troll" builds, the "Troll" builds are for fun, i DONT guarantee a good score.

I have tried all these 4 ways of playing Rammus and they all worked. Currently, the best is Jungle Rammus, but if you just wanna have fun playing normals,you can also try AD and AP Bruiser Rammus to solo top (viable in low elo ranked games too).

Song to listen while reading this looong guide that took a lot of effort.

Why Rammus?

is the Best Counter to Almost any heavy AD Team composition.
He has very high survivality and good damage output, also a huge amount of Armor.
his passive, makes building tanky items such as or better.

Rammus is unique and special, his kit is designed to kill anyone 1v1 or survive a 5v1 gank, to gank the heck out of an enemy and tower dive at lvl 3, you can also carry your team even if you are not the ADC.

So, OK. read this guide and lets win another match!

NOTE: ALWAYS remember that you are supposed to feed your team, baby sit it and make your team extremely fed, so people will love you, that's why you are picking , because you want your team to love you. Don't think about getting kills, you won't need so much gold. Only with AD bruiser and AP bruiser rammus you will want kills. If you want to get fed, then go away and play .

When to pick Rammus? and when not?

You can pick Rammus when:

The match's pick and bans are something like this:

So, lets move on!, now that you know when to pick we can see the "Counters" section to know more about WHEN to pick Rammus

Rammus Counters

Top Rammus Counters

Trundle

He can easily counter jungle Rammus, pillar is good for stopping ganks, and his ult can cause his defenses to go into negative numbers if he hits him before he leaves ball form.
Olaf

This Crazy Berserker can Ragnarok out from Rammus puncturing taunt. Also, Olaf has true damage which is good against Rammus.
Shyvana

Counter jungling. Rammus needs blue, so Shyavana takes your red uncontested. She clears your entire wraith side before you are done with your blue. So yeah when you are lvl 2 Twiddling thumbs she is lvl 5 and up 15 cs.

Top Countered by Rammus

Tryndamere

Defensive Ball Curl + puncturing taunt + Thornmail= watch Tryn kill himself.
Master Yi

Same reason like Tryndamere, Defensive Ball Curl + puncturing taunt + Thornmail= watch Yi kill himself.
Caitlyn

Caitlyn is an ADC based on attack speed, in lategame, her attack speed will only make she suicide.

Abilities Explanation

This is the Abilities Explanation Section, now that you know when and when not to pick rammus, is time to know his Abilities.

SPIKED SHELL:

This is a great Passive, It gives you bonus attack damage equal to 25% of your total armor, that means if you have 100 Armor you will have 25 AD! So always remember building Armor items on is like building Magic Resist Items on , extremely viable.

POWERBALL:

Powerball is the Q ability of . is what allows to Roam faster and to Escape a 5 men gank.Also, it has a small knock up on impact, that makes this a great ability to interrupt channeling abilities like ´s or ´s , even ´ (when alive).

DEFENSIVE BALL CURL:

is the W ability of , a great ability for skirmishes at any level. Take this first at Jungling, it helps a you to survive more in the jungle. Great ability that returns damage dealt as magic damage, also scales with both AP and Armor. This is why is so good vs AD oriented Teams...... Simply perfect and great combined with

puncturing taunt

PUNCTURING TAUNT:

This is ´ main ability for ganking, or making the enemy ADC suicide in a Teamfight. Also a great Skirmishing skill, and one of the most important skill in the Ability combos. Dont forget this ability can interrupt channels too.So, lets suppose that the enemy team have a channeling and a channeling , you will think: Oh dear god, this fight is done, they pwned us.... but NO! just to and then puncturing taunt and everything will be OK.(thats why always says ¨OK¨).

TREMORS:

One of the 4 abilities that makes his team loves him. Best ultimate for a Teammfight, to Destroy a tower and to fight 1v1. This will give you an amazing result if you use it with your other abilities. Also, this scales with a high AP ratio, making towers easy meat. (see more in Ability combos section)
