Jungle Rammus is highly susceptible to counter-jungling and invasion-ganks.

What are you gonna do to an invading Gangplank, Nocturne, or Lee Sin? Taunt? That's exactly what they want.



In lane, you need a very good lane partner to help capitalize on good taunts, otherwise, you'll get zoned out and destroyed.

I think a lot of it has to do with most of the community being incredible sheep, and believing 100% everything that they see a pro do or read on a forum.

People don't do enough thinking for themselves.

Also, people don't build Rylai's on him, and Rylai's in one item takes him from "Counter with one item" and turns him into a giant AoE slow during a team fight that lasts for 8 seconds. It does good damage as well.

I really think Rammus isnt far a great choice as a tanker. He sure can do the job, but compared to Amumu and Alistar, he seems UP.
And theres another point: you have to know how to play. In normals and low-mid ELO, theres almost no good Rammus players, so the team that gets one just loses (at least that happens a lot with me).

Mostly u want the tank to jungle. But rammus kinda sucks in jungle. And he gets countered easily by quicksilver sash. But still he is the bulkiest tank in the whole game with lots of cc and resists. He simply destroys and ad melee's like lee sin, noc, tryn, xin. I won't say he is bad. But there are downsides to him.
He used to be perma banned/picked but now there are more important chars like: GP, Irelia, Orianna, Noc and others

I guess that's the most valid reason, still people used to rush him when unbanned and now they don't give a ****, it just annoys me big time to see LoL players mentality sometimes "he's not a permaban champ anymore so he must not be worth picking"

For all you questions about jungling

Rammus USED to be a lot stronger (considered OP). Now not so much, his passive needs a re-work among other things.
