So you want to play Rammus?

Rammus the armadillo is a natural jungle tank and is extremely good for many games
in league and has the potential to change a loosing game to a wining game easily.

Well with my guide you will learn how to Rammus and spoon feed your team to victory!

What is spoon feeding?

No the spoon feeding we are talking about is
not feeding your baby with a spoon as shown here:

When I say spoon feed it means getting your team kills. Yes I know everyone is probably going to act like 'OH I already kno how to get my teams kill'. This is true you probably do know how to do this but with Rammus its a little different. When you play Rammus you are not playing for your self, you are playing for your team. If you have ten kills and the rest of your team only has one or two, then there is a good chance you will loose that game(depending on how good your enemies are doing). When you jungle Rammus it is your objective to get your whole team fed, don't worry about your self because if you succeed in this then you will have tons of assists it wont matter. Rammus works very well without getting to many kills.

Why spoon feeding is so easy with Rammus

Spoon feeding is made easy with Rammus because of his puncturing taunt this move will get your team so many kills if you use it right(I will explain how to use it well deeper in the guide.

Abilities and how to use them

So now that you can spoon feed your team, lets get to the good stuff about this awesome champion Rammus. First lets start with Abilities!

Powerball -

Defensive Ball Curl

Puncturing Taunt Puncturing Taunt

RAMMUSRAMM

Tremors -

Powerball is such a good move to start fights,
get through the jungle fast, but most importantly gank!
When ganking with Powerball you must activate the ability
early for maximum speed when you reach the lane(not to early
or you wont hit the champion. Powerball has a short slow
giving you enough time to activate your taunt. I will show in
the jungle section of the guide when to use Powerball in the
jungle!

This move is required to get first to survive the jungle.
It is also the ultimate tank move helps a lot in team fights!
Use Defensive Ball Curl at every jungle camp, this will give
you great survivability and kill most of the minions at the camp.
Remember to activate Defensive Ball Curl right after you
land your taunt in fights for the defense(This is very important).

Puncturing Taunt
Probably one of Rammus best moves. Also one of his most hated moves
by the enemy team. Puncturing Taunt is a move that you will be
using A LOT. This move is straight forward, it taunts(makes the
enemy focus you). Just remember to activate this right after
Powerball.

Soaring Slam is good for taking towers and destroying in team fights.
It lasts for a good amount of time and does a good amount of damage.
This move makes Rammus shake the ground and deal AoE(area of effect) damage.
This movewill be more explained through out the guide.

Ability Combinations

These are some basic ability combinations for Rammus.

Items for Rammus

Here are some of my recommended items for Rammus.

My Regular Items

This is basicaly the item you should turn your Spirit Stone into. I don't really have much to say about this item other than you should sell it when you finish your build and buy another recommended item.



I always buy this item. It gives you great amount of armor that works well with your passive Spiked Shell. The only time I would not buy this is if I was going against a full team of AP.



This is another Item I buy every game. Its such a good item for the magic resist and works well with Runic Bulwark and Warmog's Armor if you buy them.



Buy this item if you are doing good and want some more armor and some extra AoE damage for team fights. I don't always buy this Item sometimes I replace this with the Runic Bulwark If I already started building it. If your game is really going good and easy buy the Abyssal Mask after this item to increase the damage greatly.



I Buy this item when the enemies have more AP and when I feel I need more health. As I said this item works good with the Spirit Visage because of the passive.

Boots

Only buy these if you are experienced with Rammus, or if your game is going really well.



Again, only buy these if you are experienced with Rammus or if you feel you really need them because of enemy slows. This item also works good with the Frozen Mallet.



I buy these probably most of the time. Ninja Tabi is good for the jungle and counters most carries. Honestly I just really love the passive on these boots.



These boots are also really good for the tenacity. I would buy these games if you have a lot of AP enemies, also if they have lots of CC.

AP Protection

Guardian's Angel
Buy this item for a cap. Its good late game if your team really needs a tank alive. It also is good if for some reason your game goes 80 minuets.


As I said before this is a great Item to go with the Sunfire Aegis. Buy it if you need more MR and damage.


I love this item. It works well with Rammus but only buy it if no one on your team(support) is not buying it.


Buy this item if you are experienced at jungling. It is really good for counter jungling AP junglers. It also can be a good ganking tool. Though I probably would not buy this item because there are better items to buy for Rammus.



Only buy this if you need it. It works well for ganks, but if you buy this you should get Boots of Swiftness to keep in range with the enemy champion. I don't really recommend this item.

AD Protection

Buy this item as a cap if you are going well. It works good with Spiked Shell. Only buys this if you have Warmog's Armor and/or lots of health.


I like this item for the cooldown reduction and armor. Also the AoE is good if you have a lot of fast hitting champions such as; Master Yi, Ashe, Trydamere, ect.


I love this item. I dont always buy this for Rammus, but its good to replace the Spirit of the Ancient Golem Late game. Its passive is really good ( cold steel) and so is the active.

Situational Damage

I rarely would buy this item but it works well for ganks with Powerball, but this means you would have to buy it early game for better affects. That is why I don't really recommend this item.


I sometimes buy this as a cap. Its more of a fun item because it gives Soaring Slam and Powerball a big damage boost. Only buy this item if you have another tank/bruiser or if your game is just really easy.



I buy this more than the deathcap because it slows people thus giving Powerball a huge slow boost and Soaring Slam the ultimate amount of CC.

What to do in the jungle

Here is a map I made to show where to go in the jungle. I will explain it below.




Smitless blue helps you a lot because you can go straight to red(smite red) and then golems.


After Red look for ganks. If you cant gank than just farm jungle. I don't have an order after red, you just need to pay attention to what is going on around you and go to camps when you need to.
NOTE: Remember to jungle by using Defensive Ball Curl.


When you hit at least $750 then you can recall and buy the Spirit Stone and the Boots.

Warding and Ganking

You don't need to ward all those places on them map all the time. You only really need to ward dragon if your support doesn't. If you have a strong enemy jungler like Xin Zhao then you might need to ward your buffs too(Mainly blue). Later in the game make sure to pink Baron Nashor


If you need to learn how to gank go back to ability combinations and look at the ganking one. Right now im just going to tell you were to gank. It says on the map where to start rolling in and the Yellow is the path into the lane. You can find more creative ways to gank and when you improve at Rammus.
NOTE: I will be adding more here soon!
